Brighton vs Tottenham Preview

Tournament: Premier League

Date: Sunday, October 6, 2024

Time: 3:30 pm GMT

Venue: Amex Stadium

Brighton & Hove Albion will host Tottenham Hotspur in an exciting Premier League clash on Sunday, October 6. Brighton have had a good start to the season with two wins, three draws, and one defeat in the league. They are ninth in the table, a point behind Spurs, who have three wins, one draw, and two defeats.

Brighton have played some excellent football under new manager Fabian Hurzeler this season and started off well. However, their recent results have been far from ideal as they have three draws and one defeat in their last four Premier League games.

Spurs, meanwhile, have won all five of their previous matches across competitions. They have performed brilliantly this season under Ange Postecoglou but struggled to eke out results at the start of the season. They have, however, turned it around in recent weeks.

It will be an interesting clash as both sides are among the top sides in the Premier League for pressing and possession this season.

Brighton Team News

Brighton are without a host of players for the clash against Spurs. Jan Paul van Hecke, Matthew O’Riley, and Solly March are all out due to injuries. Meanwhile, Simon Adingra, Joel Veltman, Joao Pedro, James Milner, and Brajan Gruda are all doubts about Sunday’s match.

As per the latest statement made by Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou, Captain Son Heung-min is trying his best to return to the matchday squad but is not available for Sunday’s game. He further mentioned that “we are tired from Thursday’s Europa League game at Ferencvaros but there are no new injury concerns. Destiny Udogie, who missed that game, is expected to be available.”

Key Players to watch in Brighton vs Tottenham

Kaoru Mitoma

The Japanese winger had a good start to the season with one goal and one assist in his first two games. However, he’s flattered to deceive since then, making no goal contribution in the next four games.

Brighton could be without a number of attacking options like Joao Pedro and Simon Adingra against Spurs. Hence, they will look to Kaoru Mitoma to produce the goods at home and help them get their first league win in five games.

Brennan Johnson

Brennan Johnson received some criticism at the start of the season. Some people took it too far and he chose to deactivate his Instagram account. However, he has been brilliant since then.

Johnson is Spurs’ top scorer this season and has now scored five goals in the last five games across competitions. He’s made the right-wing position his own and has combined well with the likes of Pedro Porro and Dejan Kulusevski. He’ll look to continue his scoring streak going against Brighton.

Brighton vs Tottenham Prediction

Brighton’s clashes against Spurs are generally thrilling, be it high-scoring or low-scoring. Now with Fabian Hurzeler and Ange Postecoglou in charge of their respective sides, both teams are expected to look to dominate possession and attack.

Spurs have largely put in good performances this season and now have five wins in five games to back it up. They hammered Manchester United at Old Trafford in their last league game before beating Ferencvaros 2-1 in the UEFA Europa League in midweek.

Brighton, meanwhile, lost 4-2 against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in their last game, having drawn 2-2 at home against Nottingham Forest in their previous game.

Both sides have some key absentees which could play a part in the final result. However, with Spurs’ form, playing style, and confidence, they should be able to secure all three points and keep their run going.

Predicted Score: Brighton 2-3 Spurs
