Brighton vs Tottenham Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The previous confrontation between these clubs ended in favour of the Seagulls.

Brighton are ready to lock horns with Tottenham Hotspur in the matchweek 5 fixture of the 2025-26 English Premier League. The interesting contest between them will take place at the American Express Stadium.

Brighton & Hove Albion have not been able to kick off their new season in the best way possible. In their four league games, the Seagulls have only been able to win one match and have lost two of them. They fell prey to Bournemouth in their last Premier League game due to an underwhelming performance.

On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur have started their season on a positive note. They have only lost one of their last five matches. The Spurs are coming in after securing a win against Villarreal in their UEFA Champions League fixture. They will be away from home for their upcoming game, hence keeping them under some pressure.

Kick-off:

• Location: Falmer, England
• Stadium: American Express Stadium
• Date: Saturday, September 20
• Kick-off Time: 07:30 p.m. IST/ 02:00 p.m. GMT/ 10:00 a.m. ET/ 07:00 a.m. PT
• Referee: Chris Kavanagh
• VAR: In use

Form:

Brighton: D-L-W-W-L

Tottenham: W-W-L-W-W

Players to Watch

Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton)

The 28-year-old midfielder from Japan is going to play an essential part for the hosts. He can control the midfield well and can surely score goals. In four league matches this season, Kaoru Mitoma has two goal involvements. He did score a goal in his last fixture, but it was not enough to get to a win.

Xavi Simons (Tottenham)

Xavi Simons will be one of the main men for the Spurs in the attacking front. Even though he is yet to open his goal-scoring account for Tottenham Hotspur, he will be yet again ready to lead the attack from the left. Simons can also build up plays, which is surely going to trouble the opponent’s defence.

Match Facts

• The Seagulls have won both of their last two matches against Tottenham.
