Brighton vs Tottenham Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Will Brennan Johnson be the Spurs’s next big star?

Brighton will play host to Tottenham in their next match of the English Premier League. Coincidentally both the teams are placed next to each other at the Premier League table. Tottenham are currently in the eighth spot with ten points while Brighton are in ninth place and with nine points.

The two teams are pretty much going neck to neck this season, and as such will look to get the better of their opposition to make their foray into the top five. Spurs have been in good form recently with their victories over Manchester United and Brentford in the Premier League.

Ange Postecoglou’s men will hope to keep that same spirit alive when they visit the Falmer Stadium to play the Seagulls.

On the other end, Brighton lost their last game against Chelsea (4-2) and drew the one before against Nottingham Forest (2-2). As such they will be on the hunt to find a way back to victory.

Kick-Off:

Sunday, 6th October at 9:00 PM IST

Location: Falmer Stadium, Brighton & Hove, United Kingdom

Players to Watch:

Danny Welbeck (Brighton & Hove Albion)

Brighton striker Danny Welbeck knows a thing or two about playing for and against North London clubs. The former Manchester United and Watford man spent five years playing for Arsenal. During his time there Welbeck was part of countless derbies against Tottenham.

The 33-year-old who now calls East Sussex his home knows a tad bit more about Tottenham than his contemporaries and will be ready to relive his old rivalry against his former foes. He has been among goals this season and as such will be the target man for the Seagulls.

Brennan Johnson (Tottenham Hotspur)

Brennan Johnson faced a lot of backlash after Tottenham lost to Arsenal at home last September. The level of abuse was so intense that Johnson had to deactivate his social media accounts. The Welsh lad might not have answered those critics back on the internet but he is certainly doing so with performance on the pitch since then.

Three days later from the Arsenal loss Johnson scored a winner against Coventry City in the third round of the EFL Cup. From then on the Nottingham-born player has gone on to add five goals in five consecutive games.

Match Prediction for Brighton & Hove Albion vs Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham will be missing some of their key players like Heung Min Son and Richarlison against Brighton. That can play a factor. Danny Welbeck is in good touch this season and is their top scorer with three goals. Welbeck with his experience can surely help Brighton pull an upset against the North London squad at home.

In spite of that Tottenham are a team that is stronger on paper and with the current form can easily turn the tides in their favour at Falmer Stadium.
