Our predictions for Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur
Match Prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur
Brighton's up-and-down form could make this a tricky one. They've shown they can beat the big guns at home, like when they nicked a 2-1 win over Manchester City. But away losses to Bournemouth and Everton might make them a bit cagey. Still, with players like Mitoma and Welbeck, they've got the firepower to cause Spurs problems.
Tottenham, on the other hand, have been on a bit of a roll lately. Three wins in their last four league games, including a thumping of West Ham, show they're in good nick. That loss to Bournemouth at home was a blip, but they bounced back strong last time out in the English top-flight. If they keep their heads, they could nick this one on the road.
Form Guide & Team Overview
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster. That win over Manchester City at home was a real statement, showing they can mix it with the best. But those losses to Bournemouth and Everton away from home suggest they struggle on the road. They'll need to be on it from the off if they want to get anything from this game against a dangerous Spurs side.

Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs have been in decent form, winning three of their last four Premier League matches. That 3-0 win over West Ham was a real confidence booster, and they came up with another solid performance before that against Manchester City. The only hiccup was the home loss to Bournemouth, but they've bounced back well. If they can keep that momentum going, they'll be tough to beat.
