Brighton vs Tottenham Preview & Prediction
Premier League title outsiders Tottenham travel to the Amex Stadium on Thursday night to take on Brighton & Hove Albion.
Brighton come into the game off the back of a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace, salvaged by a late Danny Welbeck header. Despite being ninth in the table, the Seagulls aim to break a three-game winless streak in the Premier League and end a 22-match clean-sheet drought. The temporary break from Europa League football is a welcome relief for manager Roberto De Zerbi.
Tottenham, now fourth in the league, secured a nervy 2-1 win against Everton, maintaining their seven-game unbeaten run at home. Manager Ange Postecoglou praises goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario for his role in the win.
Spurs seek to build on their recent success and make history by winning three consecutive matches against Brighton. The past encounters favoured Tottenham, but Brighton aim to rewrite history under De Zerbi’s guidance. The stage is set for an intriguing showdown on the South Coast.
Prediction: Brighton 3-3 Tottenham

Brighton vs Tottenham Betting Tips
- Over 4.5 goals @ 14/5
- Son Heung-Min to score @ 5/4
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 21/5
Brighton vs Tottenham Betting Tip 1: Over 4.5 Goals @14/5
The goals should flow in this one. Both teams set up with goals at the forefront of their minds, which leaves them vulnerable in transitions. This has been evident in Brighton games all season – still yet to keep a clean sheet.
De Zerbi’s Brighton averages 3.48 goals per game over 51 Premier League matches, while Postecoglou’s record stands at 3.39 goals per game. As for Spurs, they looked really open in their recent win against Everton.
All signs point to a potential high-scoring encounter. We’re backing the over 4.5 goals line, but we wouldn’t put people off the even higher lines. This one should be a real Christmas cracker.
Brighton vs Tottenham Betting Tip 2: Son Heung-Min to score @ 5/4
Spurs have won their last three, scoring eight goals. Son Heung-Min has had a hand in four of those, scoring what proved to be the match-winner against Everton and his 11th Premier League goal of the season.
The South Korean forward scored in the 2-1 win over the Seagulls at home last season, and with a price of 5/4 for him to do it again, appeals.
