The Matchday 5 Premier League clash between Brighton and Tottenham will take place on September 20 at the Amex Stadium in Falmer. Brighton vs. Tottenham: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Brighton
Fabian Hürzeler's side has been picking up points only at their home ground so far. They drew with Fulham (1-1) and then surprisingly defeated Manchester City (2-1). However, they struggled on the road, losing to less formidable opponents – Everton (0-2) and Bournemouth (1-2). As a result, Brighton is currently in 13th place with 4 points. Notably, in their last nine league matches, the club has suffered only two defeats (5 wins and 2 draws).
- Both teams scored in 10 of the last 13 Premier League matches involving the club.
- Exactly two or three goals were scored in 6 of Brighton's last 8 league games.
- The team is unbeaten in their last 6 home Premier League matches – 3 wins and 3 draws.
Predicted lineup for Brighton (4-3-3)
Bart Verbruggen – Joel Veltman, Jan Paul van Hecke, Lewis Dunk, Maxime de Keijzer – Kaoru Mitoma, James Milner, Jack Hinshelwood – Yanquba Minteh, Danny Welbeck, Jorginho Rutter.
Due to injuries, defenders Maxime de Keijzer, Solly March, and Adam Webster, as well as forward Julio Enciso and midfielder Jack Hinshelwood, are unavailable.
Tottenham
The Londoners are in third place, with the same number of points (9) as Arsenal, who are second. The team has secured 3 victories, suffering a defeat only to Bournemouth at their home ground (0-1). To their credit, Thomas Frank's men quickly bounced back from the loss, confidently defeating West Ham away – 3-0. Notably, all three victories in the current league campaign have been achieved with a clean sheet.
- The Londoners have won only 3 of their last 11 Premier League matches (1 draw and 7 losses).
- At least one team failed to score in 6 of Tottenham's last 7 league games.
- The club scored in 5 of their last 6 away Premier League matches.

Brighton vs. Tottenham: Match Prediction
These opponents have been engaged in uncompromising battles in their last 14 encounters. During this period, the Londoners have won 8 matches with 6 losses. It is likely that this match will also end with one team claiming victory. As historical data suggests, there will be at least 3 goals.
Such a number of goals have been scored in the last five head-to-head league meetings, with both clubs finding the net. Brighton is strong at home and has failed to score only once in their last 10 Premier League games, with three or more goals scored in 8 of these matches. Tottenham, in the new season, averages two goals per game against their Premier League opponents. Overall, even in the previous challenging season, the Londoners scored at a level comparable to clubs in the Champions League zone.
Therefore, in the upcoming match, I favor the prediction of Total over 2.5 goals.
