Struggling Brighton & Hove Albion will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Tottenham Hotspur in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 6th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Brighton & Hove Albion have yet to win a game at home.
- Tottenham Hotspur have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded away.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Brighton & Hove Albion and Tottenham Hotspur.
Brighton & Hove Albion form and stats
With 0 Premier League wins, 6 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Brighton & Hove Albion are certainly not brimming with confidence. With ten home Premier League games in a row without a win, the Brighton & Hove Albion fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Chelsea game long ago, can be stopped today.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Brighton, as their goalkeeper Robert Lynch Sanchez has completely shut out the opponents for 226 minutes in the Premier League.
The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Fulham in the Premier League last time out and are looking for a win here. Previous to that game, a FA Cup home match hosting Blackpool in a game that was won 2-1.
There will be little rest for Brighton & Hove Albion after this match as they are travelling to Liverpool for a Premier League game in only three days.
The Brighton fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 10 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.
Tottenham Hotspur form and stats
The away team have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 5 wins, 3 draws and only 1 loss in the Premier League.
The manager J. dos Santos Mourinho was unhappy after their last game, a Premier League match played at their home ground Spurs Stadium. Tottenham Hotspur suffered a 1-3 loss to Liverpool (placed 4th). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Wycombe Wanderers at their stadium, the result 4-1.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Chelsea in just four days.
