Tottenham Hotspur FC vs Brighton & Hove Albion, English Premier League 2024-25, Today Match Prediction

Tottenham Hotspur FC vs Brighton & Hove Albion Match Prediction & Analysis

The Premier League season concludes on Sunday as Tottenham Hotspur hosts Brighton & Hove Albion. Spurs, recently crowned Europa League champions after a 1-0 win over Manchester United, have already secured their place in the 2025/26 Champions League. This means their league position (currently 17th) is less significant, despite being their worst ever Premier League finish.

For Brighton, however, the match carries significant weight. Sitting 8th, a point could be enough to secure a spot in the Conference League, depending on other results, particularly Chelsea's performance in their Conference League final and league position. While Spurs may be somewhat relaxed after achieving their main objective, Brighton will be highly motivated to secure European qualification. Past encounters between these two teams have often been high-scoring and entertaining, and this final-day clash could be another thrilling affair. 

Head to Head Record - In 15 Premier League encounters, Tottenham Hotspur has secured 9 victories (6 at home, 3 away), while Brighton & Hove Albion has won 5 matches (4 at home, 1 away). Only one game between them has ended in a draw. In their last five head-to-head fixtures, Spurs claimed three wins. These matches have been high-scoring, averaging 3.6 goals per game. Earlier this season, Brighton notably defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4-2.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview

Tottenham Hotspur secured a crucial 1-0 win over Manchester United in the Europa League final, bringing their 16-year trophy drought to an end. This victory guarantees them a spot in next season's Champions League, somewhat overshadowing a domestically poor campaign where they sit 17th, their worst-ever Premier League finish.

Despite the European triumph, Spurs have been in dire form in the league, winless in their last six fixtures and managing only one victory in their last 11. This inconsistent domestic performance has seen them lose 21 times in 37 league outings, a new club record. Son Heung-min remains Tottenham's most influential player this season, leading the team with 7 goals and 9 assists in the Premier League. 

Tottenham faces Brighton with manager Ange Postecoglou's future uncertain and potential squad rotation after their Europa League win. Cristian Romero and Son Heung-min won't be risked due to foot problems. Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin, James Maddison, Timo Werner, Dane Scarlett, and Lucas Bergvall are also out with injuries and Yves Bissouma's availability remains uncertain. 

Tottenham Hotspur Starting Lineup: Kinsky; Spence, Danso, Davies, Reguilon; Ajayi, Gray, Bentancur, Moore; Odobert, Tel

Brighton & Hove Albion Preview

Brighton & Hove Albion are in strong form as they approach their final Premier League game, looking to cap off the season positively. They showcased their resilience with an impressive 3-2 comeback victory over Liverpool last weekend, extending their unbeaten streak to four matches, including three wins. Fabian Hurzeler's side has been prolific in front of goal, netting 13 times in their last six outings and maintaining a strong away record of 26 points from 18 games.

Kaoru Mitoma has been a vital player for Brighton this season, enjoying his most productive campaign in England with 10 goals and 3 assists in 35 Premier League appearances. He's scored in three of his last four matches, highlighting his importance to their attacking play. Brighton are currently 8th and a point against Tottenham would secure that position, giving them a chance at Conference League qualification.

Brighton faces injury concerns and a notable absence for their final match against Tottenham. Joao Pedro (10 goals, 6 assists this season) will miss the game due to a training ground bust-up. Danny Welbeck, with 10 league goals, is set to lead the attack. Other key players like James Milner, Solly March, and Georginio Rutter are also sidelined, while Tariq Lamptey and Jason Steele are doubtful. 

Brighton & Hove Albion Starting Lineup: Verbruggen; Wieffer, Webster, Van Hecke, Estupinan; Baleba, Ayari; Minteh, Gruda, Mitoma; Welbeck

Winning Prediction

With Tottenham's season effectively over after their Europa League triumph and likely celebrations, Brighton will be highly motivated. The Seagulls, still chasing European qualification, are in strong form and face a potentially rotated Spurs squad. Despite Spurs' home advantage, Brighton's need for points and recent momentum should see them secure a crucial victory.
