Brighton vs Tottenham: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Saturday 22nd September 2018
Kick off at 5:30pm BST
Venue: Amex Stadium

Match Preview:

It’s bizarre to think that Brighton’s only win this season has come against Manchester United but it’s a fact and Chris Hughton’s side are 14th coming into this game. They played on Monday at Southampton and drew but as Hughton said it felt like a win for the team given that they were losing 2-1 and they had entered injury time.

That was the fight that Brighton need if they are going to stay up. They will welcome a return back to the AMEX but Tottenham will be a formidable opponent that is for sure. Brighton drew against Fulham and so are unbeaten so far at home and have scored 5 goals in those two games.

Pressure has seemed to move swiftly from Manchester United a team that Tottenham soundly beat 3-0 a few weeks ago to Tottenham itself after they have lost back-to-back games. First there was Watford and then Liverpool and the press are saying that Mauricio Pochettino’s team look shot and tired. They might have a point and a trip to the San Siro in Italy would hardly have made them rest in midweek and to add salt to the wounds they lost that game too.

 

Team News:

Brighton: No new injuries ahead of this game

Tottenham: Dele Alli has a hamstring injury but has returned to training and could be assessed ahead of this game the same applies to Moussa Sissoko. Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris won’t return until early next month

 

Brighton vs Tottenham Head to Head:

Last season this fixture ended 1-1.

The last 3 meetings have all been under 2.5 goals.

 

Brighton vs Tottenham Prediction:

Can Pochettino pick his team up and how is their own mental strength after suffering 3 defeats in a row? The club need a pick me up and they may find it very hard away to Brighton. What both of these clubs do possess is goals and that will be our main bet, to see both teams to score. Harry Kane will be out to prove a point, but hopefully Son will also get the chance to play and we will back him to score on the day.

 

Brighton vs Tottenham Betting Tips:

Both teams to score at 1.72

Anytime goalscorer: Son Heung-Min at 3.00
