Tottenham Hotspur face a stern challenge as they aim to extend their winning streak to six matches when they travel to Brighton and Hove Albion for their upcoming Premier League clash.
After suffering a defeat to Arsenal in the North London derby, Tottenham’s momentum seemed at risk, but under Ange Postecoglou’s guidance, they have bounced back in style, winning five consecutive games. Their latest victory, a commanding 3-0 result at Old Trafford, saw them close the gap to the top four to just three points, making this trip to Brighton crucial in maintaining their push for European football.
However, Brighton, led by new manager Fabian Hurzeler, won’t be an easy opponent. The Seagulls sit just one point behind Spurs in the league, and although they saw their unbeaten run end with a 4-1 loss to Chelsea last weekend, their form has been solid, having won seven of their last eight matches in all competitions.
Bookmakers currently favor Tottenham, with odds of 23/20, but Brighton could be a tempting bet at 9/5, given their form and the potential fatigue Spurs might face after their midweek European match. A draw is priced at 3/1.
Head-to-Head History
Recent encounters between these two sides have leaned in Tottenham’s favor, with Spurs winning seven of the last 11 meetings. Brighton, however, secured a memorable 4-2 win at the Amex Stadium last season.
Players to Watch
Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma could exploit the space left by Tottenham’s forward-minded full-backs, and he’s priced at 2/1 to score anytime. Tottenham’s Dominic Solanke, fresh off an England recall, will also be a key player to watch and is 13/8 to score again.
Probable Lineups
Tottenham’s lineup could revert to its strongest, with players like Heung-Min Son and Destiny Udogie doubtful due to injury. Brighton will be assessing the fitness of key players like Joao Pedro and Simon Adingra, while long-term absentees include James Milner and Solly March.
Tottenham: Vicario; Davies, Romero, Porro, Van de Ven; Maddison, Kulusevski, Bentancur, Werner; Solanke, Johnson
Additional Betting Tips
Last season’s fixture produced six goals, and this match promises more excitement. Both teams to score (BTTS) combined with over 2.5 goals offers a slim return, but backing over 3.5 goals outright provides better odds at 10/11. Alternatively, Bet365 offers evens on Brighton’s Georginio Rutter to register a shot on target, a bet that could be worthwhile if he starts.
This match between Brighton and Tottenham is set for October 6, 2024, with a 16:30 kick-off. Keep an eye out for our tipsters’ predictions and further insights leading up to the game.
