Brighton and Hove Albion will face Tottenham Hotspur in an exciting Premier League match on Sunday afternoon. Both teams have shown impressive scoring abilities recently, making this clash particularly anticipated.
Brighton currently sits ninth in the league, with two wins from six matches and a total of ten goals scored or conceded in their last two games. Tottenham is just one place ahead of them, having scored three goals in each of their last two matches and a total of 12 goals so far this season.
Tottenham, managed by Ange Postecoglou, secured a narrow victory in the Europa League midweek with a rotated squad, putting them in a strong position to advance in the competition.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 4:30 PM BST on Sunday, October 6, at the Amex Stadium. Fans can watch the game live on Sky Sports Main Event and Premier League, and it is also available for streaming through the Sky Go app. Those without a Sky subscription can purchase a NOWTV Day Pass to watch the match.
In terms of team news, Brighton is dealing with several injuries, including Solly March, Matt O’Riley, James Milner, and Jan Paul van Hecke. Joao Pedro, Simon Adingra, and Joel Veltman are also uncertain to play. This may lead to Ferdi Kadioglu remaining at right-back and Yankuba Minteh starting on the wing.
Tottenham will be missing Richarlison and Wilson Odobert, but there are hopes that Son Heung-min will return to fitness. Destiny Udogie will undergo a fitness test.
The confirmed lineups for both teams are as follows:
Brighton XI: Verbruggen; Kadioglu, Webster, Dunk, Veltman; Baleba, Hinselwood; Minteh, Rutter, Mitoma; Welbeck.
Tottenham XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kulusevski, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Werner.
Betting odds favor Brighton at 9/5, a draw at 3/1, and Spurs at 6/5.
If both teams play to their strengths, this match could provide plenty of goals, making it an exciting encounter. The prediction leans towards a high-scoring finish, with Brighton potentially losing to Spurs 2-3.
