Brighton vs Tottenham Hotspur Preview

Tournament: Premier League

Date: Saturday, 20th September 2025

Kick-off Time: 02:00 PM GMT

Venue: American Express Stadium

On Saturday, Brighton will play Tottenham, led by Thomas Frank, in the Premier League's fifth round. Both teams, supported by coaches who encourage aggressive play and daring tactics, go into the match eager to move up the table.

With one victory, one draw, and two losses in their previous four Premier League games, Brighton's recent performance has been inconsistent. They have recently played well, winning 2-1 at home against Manchester City, but they have also lost away to Bournemouth (1-2) and Everton (0-2).

Tottenham are in good shape to face the game; they have won three of their last four league games, such as a comprehensive 3-0 win over West Ham and a 2-0 win over Manchester City. Their only defeat was a 0-1 loss to Bournemouth at home. In earlier matches, Brighton won 4-1 against Tottenham in a top match last season. Nine league points clear of Brighton's four this season, Tottenham remains a top team and holds a competitive edge. Check the Brighton vs Tottenham Hotspur prediction.

Brighton Team News

While Mats Wieffer, who has been playing as a makeshift right-back, might be able to play but will be evaluated before kickoff, Adam Webster and Solly March are still out due to knee problems. After scoring the game-winning goal against Man City, Gruda will be vying for a start in his first league game of the season, but Welbeck might be preferred. He may compete with Diego Gomez for a spot in an advanced midfield role, although Hurzeler is probably going to choose Georginio Rutter in that position.

Tottenham Hotspur Team News

Despite making remarkable progress in his recovery, Tottenham defeated West Ham over the weekend without record-breaking acquisition Dominic Solanke, who will miss the visit from Villarreal due to an ankle injury. Yves Bissouma, Kota Takai, Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin, and James Maddison are also certain to miss the Lilywhites' game since they are all injured and ineligible.

Key Players to Watch Out for in Brighton vs Tottenham Hotspur

Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton)

With four goal involvements (three goals and one assist) in his last 10 Premier League games, including a recent header against Bournemouth, Mitoma has shown a return to form in the latter stages of the season. Mitoma's goal against Manchester City sealed a point, and his offensive threat has been essential to Brighton's tough run.

Mohammed Kudus (Tottenham Hotspur)

Kudus has proved to be an energetic force since arriving at Tottenham, especially during the initial matches of the ongoing campaign. With two assists on his Spurs debut in a 3-0 win, he had a great start to the season and remained a creative threat in subsequent matches. Kudus was the driving force during Tottenham's emphatic win over West Ham, although he did not find the net or register an assist. He made two key passes, made ten crosses (two of which were successful), and completed three out of six attempted dribbles while maintaining pass accuracy at 79% throughout the ninety minutes.

Brighton vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction

Tottenham's improved form and attacking depth give them a little lead in the projection, but Brighton's home-field advantage and tactical discipline guarantee a close contest, as mentioned in the Brighton vs Tottenham Hotspur preview. A tight game with goals on both sides is to be expected, with Tottenham probably winning by a slim margin, perhaps 2-1.

Predicted Score: Brighton 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur
