Our predictions for Brighton vs Tottenham
Match Prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 2-2 Tottenham Hotspur
Brighton & Hove Albion's recent form has been inconsistent, with a notable win against Manchester City at home but losses to Bournemouth and Everton away. This suggests they might struggle against stronger teams on the road but can be formidable at home.
Tottenham, on the other hand, have shown strong form with three wins in their last four league games, including impressive victories over West Ham and Manchester City. Their ability to secure wins both home and away could give them an edge in this match, especially if they can exploit Brighton's defensive vulnerabilities.
However, Brighton's home advantage and their ability to score against top teams could make this a closely contested match. Tottenham's recent loss to Bournemouth indicates they are not invincible, and Brighton might capitalise on this if they can maintain a solid defensive structure. The game could hinge on Brighton's ability to convert their chances and Tottenham's capacity to maintain their recent winning momentum.

Form Guide & Team Overview
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton's recent form has been a mix of highs and lows, with a significant win against Manchester City at home but losses to Bournemouth and Everton away. This inconsistency could impact their confidence going into the match against Tottenham.
Their ability to secure a draw against Fulham at home suggests they can hold their own against mid-table teams, but they will need to be more clinical in front of goal to challenge a strong Tottenham side.
The loss of Adam Webster to a cruciate ligament injury is a blow to their defence, which might affect their performance against Tottenham's potent attack. However, their home form and the ability to score against top teams could still give them a fighting chance in this match.

Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham have been in excellent form recently, securing three wins in their last four Premier League games, including impressive victories over West Ham and Manchester City. This strong run of form suggests they are in good shape to challenge Brighton away from home. Their ability to score goals and keep clean sheets in recent matches could be crucial in this game.
However, their loss to Bournemouth at home indicates they are not unbeatable, and they will need to be wary of Brighton's attacking threat.
The potential absence of several key players due to injuries might affect their lineup, but their recent performances suggest they have the depth to cope with these challenges.

Lineups & Tactical Setup

Vicario, Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Spence, Sarr, Palhinha, Bergvall, Kudus, Tel, Simons
Tottenham's predicted lineup indicates a balanced approach, with a strong midfield presence from Palhinha and Sarr to control the game's tempo. The absence of several key players might lead them to rely more on their defensive solidity and the attacking prowess of Simons and Bergvall.
