Everything is lined up on the south shore; two tactical geniuses get ready for what should be an exciting duel with three points as the ultimate prize.
Both of these teams’ Premier League seasons are halfway through when Tottenham Hotspur visits the American Express Stadium to play Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton & Hove Albion.
Brighton has only triumphed once in their last five Premier League games, that being a close 2-1 success over Brentford at home. Conversely, Tottenham has won three straight games and will aim to cause even more suffering for Albion, who have only triumphed in two of their previous twelve Premier League encounters.
In this match, these two teams last faced off in October 2022. In heartbreaking circumstances, Harry Kane‘s header proved to be enough to secure the three points as the team grieved the loss of fitness coach Gian Piero Ventrone, who had sadly passed away earlier in the week.
Spurs have only lost to the hosts on two occasions since they were promoted to the top level in 2017 (3W, 1D). The Amex has been a happy hunting ground for The Lilywhites over the years.
A victory on the South Coast would put the visitors above the top team in the league when they play away from home this season, but it won’t be easy. The Seagulls would shatter this club record with a victory as they are presently riding a seven-game winning streak at home.
Funny enough, Tottenham prevented them from matching their record when they played in October 2022. That seven-game streak began with, you guessed it, a 2-0 victory over Tottenham in March 2022.
