In the previous round of the Premier League, we saw four teams from the top 6 places dropping points. And because of that, Tottenham are still at the 3rd place. To stay there, they need to beat Brighton this Tuesday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Can they do it and put an end to their losing streak. Read our Tottenham vs Brighton prediction and betting tips to find out!
Tottenham
Even though they lost the previous two matches, the Spurs need to be very satisfied with their recent performances. They lost 4:3 to Man City in the Champions League, which got them a place in the semifinal due to the away goal rule. Then they played in the Premier League against the same opponent. Man City won once again, but Tottenham didn’t drop on the table. Why? Because all of the teams that could’ve overtaken them had dropped points as well.
Because of that, Tottenham are still in the 3rd place on the table, but they need to pull themselves together and make sure they don’t drop any points on Tuesday. The Spurs have a fairly easy schedule till the end of the season, so unless something unexpected happens, they can secure a place among top four, which would guarantee them a spot in the Champions League next season.
Of course, there’s another way to ensure a place in the Champions League – winning it this season. And that’s exactly why their minds might not be 100% focused on the Premier League. Still, the match against Brighton is going to take place at their new stadium, where the Spurs have all wins so far. And that’s one of the main reasons why we’re gonna suggest betting on them in our Tottenham vs Brighton prediction!
Brighton
Brighton are just one spot away from the relegation zone, with only 3 points more than Cardiff, the team that’s just below the line. On the bright side for Brighton fans, their team have played one game less than Cardiff. This means that they are likely to survive another season in the Premier League.
Actually, it seems that their Premier League future is not only in their hands but in the hands of Cardiff as well. Brighton have a pretty tough schedule ahead, but they got nothing to worry about anything if Cardiff doesn’t win at least one of the remaining three matches.
The problem is that Cardiff play against already-relegated Fulham next weekend, so things can get interesting. But, snatching a point of Tottenham on Tuesday would probably put an end to Brighton’s relegation worries. Still, our Tottenham vs Brighton betting tips just can’t go in favor of the visiting side. After all, it’s the player quality that wins matches most of the time.
