The Seagulls will host Spurs in one of the more interesting fixtures from the Premier League matchday 5. While the hosts have had a rather slow start, the changes in the guests’ camp have yielded positive results so far.
Brighton Team News
Despite an impressive 2-1 win over Manchester City, Brighton weren’t able to avoid defeat against Bournemouth in the previous round. With two losses, a win and a draw to their name, the Seagulls are currently 13th and quite a ways off from where they want to be. The tendency to be involved in high-scoring fixtures is starting to return, as Brighton’s last three competitive fixtures saw at least three goals scored, with the most recent two ending in a 2-1 result. The Seagulls are also undefeated in their last 6 Premier League matches as hosts, a record that stretches back to the previous season.
Tottenham Hotspur Team News
Thomas Frank has enjoyed a good start at Spurs as he has guided his team to 4 wins in his first 6 games. Three of those victories came in the Premier League, while the most recent one was during the team’s UCL opener against Villarreal. The strong foundations that Frank speaks of can be seen in his team’s results – only 1 goal conceded across Tottenham’s last 5 fixtures. This means that Tottenham’s last 4 victories were to nil, while the only time they conceded was during their 0-1 loss against Bournemouth. With such a stable defensive display, there is genuine optimism that the Spurs can establish themselves in the Premier League’s top 4 this season.

Brighton vs Tottenham Hotspur Betting Prediction
Given the H2H history between the two sides and their recent results, my pick here is for over 2.5 goals. While Spurs have been impressive in defence so far, Brighton have also been rather good as hosts, even going as far as snatching a victory against Manchester City. When these two teams meet, there are usually a lot of goals involved, and I don’t think anything will change now.
