Brighton vs Tottenham Betting Tips, Correct Score Prediction and Best Bet Builder Picks

Brighton beat Tottenham home and away last season and will go into their latest meeting 5/4 favourites.

The Seagulls came from 2-0 down to beat Spurs 3-2 at the AMEX Stadium in October 2024, before thrashing them 4-1 on the final day of the season.

Much has changed since their last meeting though.

Tottenham’s players have fully sobered up, for one. That 4-1 defeat followed heavy celebrations following their Europa League final triumph just four days earlier.

Spurs are also under new management and things have been very different since Thomas Frank replaced Ange Postecoglou. Spurs have kept four clean sheets in their last five games in all competitions, having gone 13 Premier League matches without a shutout at the end of the Big Ange era.

Therefore, in terms of value, Spurs at 21/10 looks like a better bet than Brighton at 5/4. Meanwhile, the draw can be backed at 27/10 with the best football betting sites.

Brighton vs Tottenham betting tips

We successfully tipped Spurs to beat West Ham by at least two goals last weekend and they can be backed at 4/1 to overcome a one-goal handicap at Brighton.

The First Goalscorer market is a bit of a minefield until the starting lineups are confirmed. Tottenham could start with Richarlison (13/2), Randal Kolo Muani (13/2) or Mathys Tel (9/1) as their lead frontman.

Meanwhile, Brighton’s team is slightly more predictable, making Danny Welbeck — who has started his side’s last three league games and scored in this fixture last season — a viable pick at 13/2.

One Spurs player who looks almost certain to start is record signing Xavi Simons. He is priced at 13/8 to score or assist anytime, which looks like good value based on his role as Tottenham’s creator-in-chief and his status as a set-piece taker.

Brighton vs Tottenham: Correct Score prediction

Brighton have scored in four of their five games so far this term and they beat Manchester City in their most recent home fixture.

Therefore, another Spurs clean sheet feels unlikely. But we also fancy Frank’s men to cause the Seagulls plenty of problems at the other end.

The most likely results based on the odds alone are 1-1, at 7/1, and 2-1 to Brighton, at 9/1. However, we think 22/1 on a 3-1 Spurs win is much better value.

Meanwhile, a much simpler package of over 2.5 goals, Welbeck to score anytime and Romero to commit at least one foul is a decent-looking 4/1.

Brighton vs Tottenham team news

Tottenham got through Tuesday’s Champions League game against Villarreal without picking up any fresh injury issues.

But Spurs are still without James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Radu Dragusin this weekend, while Dominic Solanke and Yves Bissouma are unlikely to feature.

Brighton’s list of guaranteed absentees includes Adam Webster, Solly March and Jack Hinshelwood. Maxim De Cuyper, Diego Amarilla and Mats Wieffer are all doubts.
