The Premier League serves up another exciting clash this Saturday as Brighton hosts Tottenham at the Amex Stadium. With both sides experiencing mixed fortunes in the early weeks of the season, this encounter is crucial for momentum. Here’s a detailed look at team news, stats, and betting angles ahead of the game.
Match Preview
Brighton’s early-season struggles were compounded last weekend by a 2-1 defeat at Bournemouth. That loss halted the buzz from their famous 2-1 win over Manchester City at the Amex. Fabian Hürzeler’s side have managed just four points from their opening four games, their worst start since 2020/21. With Chelsea away up next, pressure is mounting for Brighton to deliver in front of their home fans.
Tottenham, meanwhile, is on an upward trajectory under Thomas Frank. Spurs registered a 1-0 win over Villarreal in the UEFA Champions League, making it four wins from six across all competitions since Frank took charge. While not always flashy, the purs have rediscovered their backbone, evident in back-to-back away league wins with a 5-0 aggregate scoreline.
