2024/25 Brighton vs. Spurs – Predictions, Predicted Lineups, Injury News

Brighton, currently sitting 9th in the league, has demonstrated resilience with an unbeaten run at home, while Spurs, just above them in 8th, are looking to build on a strong performance following their recent victory at Old Trafford.

Brighton Match Preview

Brighton enters this match after a disappointing 4-2 loss to Chelsea, where they struggled to contain the attacking prowess of their opponents, especially in the first half.

Despite this setback, the Seagulls have managed to score 8 goals in their last five matches, showing flashes of offensive brilliance, although they have also conceded the most penalties in the league this season.

Their home form remains a bright spot, as they are unbeaten in their last six home games, with their last three matches yielding one win and two draws.

With the odds suggesting a closely contested match—2.75 for a Brighton win and 4.10 for a draw—the home side will need to capitalize on their attacking opportunities while tightening their defense against Spurs’ potent offense.

Key players like Lewis Dunk and Kaoru Mitoma will be crucial if Brighton hopes to secure all three points against a team they have struggled against historically, with a head-to-head record of just 4 wins against Spurs’ 12.

Spurs Match Preview

Tottenham Hotspur arrives at the Amex Stadium following a confident 3-0 win against Manchester United, a match that showcased their attacking depth and tactical awareness.

Scoring 11 goals in their last five outings, Spurs will be looking to extend their impressive form as they hunt for a Champions League spot.

Heung-Min Son has been instrumental in creating opportunities, leading the team in big chances, while Dominic Solanke’s presence has added sharpness in front of goal, boasting the most shots on target per match.

With the team currently positioned 8th in the league and only three points off the Champions League places, every point counts.

However, Spurs must be cautious as they navigate injury challenges, with key players like Son and Richarlison facing fitness concerns.

Maintaining their composure on the road will be vital for Spurs as they aim to keep the momentum going against a determined Brighton side.
