A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Tottenham Hotspur fans are optimistic that the difference between 5th and Brighton & Hove Albion's 16th place in the table will show on the pitch.
Spurs have less rest than Brighton & Hove Albion in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Europa League game only three days ago. That game was an away game at Antwerp, so at least Spurs are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Tottenham Hotspur form and stats
Three Premier League home games done for Tottenham Hotspur, who are not happy collecting 2 points from these matches. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
In their previous game, the manager J. dos Santos Mourinho led his Tottenham Hotspur to a defeat in the Europa League match away at Antwerp. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. In the game before, an away victory in the Premier League match versus Burnley with a 1-0 scoreline.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Spurs's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won one match, drawn zero and lost zero.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Spurs as they are travelling to their away game against Ludogorets in the Europa League. That match is four days after this one.
The Spurs fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Spurs defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Brighton & Hove Albion form and stats
Brighton & Hove Albion are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premier League, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).
Brighton delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against West Bromwich Albion (placed 17th) in their previous match; a Premier League game. A 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace's stadium before that.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Brighton & Hove Albion playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, one draw and one home win.
