Tottenham vs Brighton Betting Preview: Odds and Predictions | The Sun
BRIGHTON in the Champions League anyone? Such talk won’t look so silly if they win at shambolic Spurs on Saturday…
Tottenham vs Brighton odds
Here are the latest match odds for Tottenham vs Brighton.
Tottenham vs Brighton betting preview
The decision for Spurs to sack their manager and replace him with his own assistant proved as daft as it first appeared on Monday.
With Everton having shot themselves in the foot by getting a man sent off and then giving away a penalty, Tottenham duly crawled back into their defensive shell, invited the Toffees on and while the goal they eventually conceded was of the wondrous variety, the Londoners frankly got what they deserved.
Cristian Stellini is clearly just holding the fort but it’s not as if Spurs are killing time waiting for next season – they sit fifth and still hold strong claims for a top-four finish. That is, of course, if they can rediscover the winning groove.
It’s now just one victory in six in all competitions for the hosts and so facing a Brighton side very much on course for Europe doesn’t look like what the doctor ordered.
Indeed, win here and Brighton would move within a point of Tottenham having played two games fewer – the Champions League is not out of the question for the Seagulls.
They have played an attractive brand of attacking football, both under Graham Potter and now Roberto de Zerbi, this season – one the Spurs fans would love to see their own team deliver.
So far in 2023 Brighton have lost just once in 15 games and that was a real smash-and-grab raid by Fulham at the Amex Stadium.
Admittedly, Spurs did win the reverse fixture 1-0 but it’s a struggle to see them keeping a clean sheet here.
Eight of their 10 games against the current top nine have seen them concede at least twice with Arsenal, Newcastle, Villa and Liverpool all netting 2+ (and winning) in north London.
The contrasting form of the two sides coming into this contest makes Brighton look a potential bet.

Tottenham vs Brighton best bets
Brighton to win
Spurs have won just once in six and show few signs of getting out of their rut. Brighton have lost one in 15 and, likewise, look unlikely to be changing course any time soon.
There’s a real contrast in confidence and with the home fans not happy, the atmosphere could get tricky for the hosts if things don’t go well early on.
Brighton’s tails up are up and they have a real goal to aim at. Their attacking style has brought goals aplenty on the road and they look more than capable of grabbing a result here.

Solly March & Kaoru Mitoma 1+ shot on target each
A stats-based play featuring two players who have really made a big impact for Brighton this season.
March’s shots numbers have soared this season and in terms of shots on target, he’s now managed at least one in 13 of his last 14 appearances.
Mitoma has arguably been one of the signings of the season and he’s delivered a SOT in 15 of his last 19.
Put the pair together in a double using the Bet Builder feature and you get close to 2/1.
BET NOW
Back March and Mitoma 1+ shot on target each at 15/8 at bet365
Brighton to score 2+ goals
Brighton have landed this bet in nine of their 13 away games, including at Liverpool and Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Spurs have shipped two goals at home to Arsenal, Newcastle, Villa and Liverpool already this season.
With their attacking verve, the visitors can get about a home side low on confidence and the price on them hitting 2+ again looks worth backing.
