Tottenham Hotspur go in search of a sorely needed win as they take on Brighton in the Premier League this weekend.
For the first time this season, Spurs find themselves inside the Premier League relegation zone as the prospect of dropping down to the Championship begins to stare them in the face.
Tottenham enter this game in terrible form, with no league wins in 2026. Even on home soil their league form has been extremely poor, with five defeats and one draw from their last six league games in front of their own fans.
Spurs took on Sunderland in new manager Roberto De Zerbi's first game in charge at the weekend and were beaten 1-0. To add insult to injury, captain Cristian Romero picked up an injury that is set to keep him out for the remainder of the season.
On home soil, their games have tended to be high-event affairs, with all of their last six home games in all competitions seeing over 2.5 goals scored and four of their last six seeing over 3.5 goals scored.
Brighton, though, come into this game well in form. The Seagulls have now won six of their last seven games in the league after winning just two of 15 games in all competitions between early December and mid February. Brighton come into this game a transformed team, and they have their eyes firmly set on securing European football for next season.
The team has now won three games on the spin, beating Burnley (2-0), Brighton (2-1) and Sunderland (1-0). Their defensive performance has been particularly impressive of late, keeping three clean sheets in their last six games and conceding just three goals.
Brighton have also dominated the recent head-to-head encounters with Spurs, winning three of the last five clashes, with just one defeat. All of the last five head-to-head meetings have seen both BTTS and over 2.5 goals scored.
We do, then, expect a very in form Brighton to come out on top against a very out of form Spurs side.
Tottenham 1-3 Brighton
