The prediction leans towards a draw, with odds set for a general draw and a specific 1-1 scoreline.

H2H - Spurs Dominate


Tottenham have a 21-12 advantage against Brighton, alongside nine draws. 

Tottenham Need Premier League Points


Tottenham have fallen into the Premier League relegation zone and sit two points behind 17th-place West Ham. Spurs have won once in their last 11 in all competitions.

The North Londoners sacked former boss Igor Tudor during the international break following a 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest. Roberto De Zerbi was named as Tudor’s replacement.

Spurs were unable to stop the rot in their first game under De Zerbi and lost 1-0 at Sunderland. Tottenham conceded with 30 minutes left and couldn’t score with seven shots on target. 

Brighton Are Hard to Beat


Fabian Hurzeler’s Brighton have climbed into European contention in the Premier League. The south coast team have won their last three matches and are two points behind the top six.

The Seagull’s upturn started with a 1-0 win at Sunderland and a 2-1 home victory against Liverpool. 

Brighton extended their winning streak with a comfortable 2-0 victory at Burnley after the international break. Mats Wieffer scored twice and Brighton were in control with 1.93-0.87 XG. 

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News


Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Antonin Kinsky; Pedro Porro, Kevin Danso, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie; Archie Gray, Conor Gallagher; Randal Kolo Muani, Lucas Bergvall, Richarlison; Dominic Solanke

Defender Cristian Romero has been ruled out for the season due to a knee injury against Sunderland. 

Attackers Mohammed Kudus and Wilson Odobert and full-back Ben Davies are out. Midfielders Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Rodrigo Bentancur are also injured.

Brighton (4-2-3-1): Bart Verbruggen; Mats Wieffer, Jan Paul van Hecke, Olivier Boscagli, Ferdi Kadioglu; Yasin Ayari, Pascal Gross; Diego Gomez, Jack Hinshelwood, Yankuba Minteh; Danny Welbeck

Defender Lewis Dunk is suspended. Striker Stefanos Tzimas is out with an ACL injury and defender Adam Webster is unavailable due to a knee issue.

James Milner is in contention for the Spurs game after missing the Burnley victory. Fabian Hurzeler issued a recent update on the midfielder and said, "It was a small, minor issue.

"[It happened] in the training yesterday. Let's see how long it takes. I'm convinced we will see him back soon."

Verdict

Tottenham need points to mount their battle against Premier League relegation. Spurs are likely to get a new manager bounce with De Zerbi and the North Londoners can hold Brighton at home.
