Tottenham Hotspur vs Brighton & Hove Albion: Team News and Expert Analysis
The London club finished seventeenth last season but redeemed themselves by winning the Europa League. This year, under Frank, they also performed well in European competitions—losing only on penalties to PSG in the Super Cup (despite leading 2-0), and reaching the Champions League playoffs, though by then under Tudor, where they lost without a chance to Atletico. But in the Premier League things are even worse than in 2024/2025. The Dane was replaced by a Croatian, but he lasted only a month and a half. With De Zerbi, they also lost to Sunderland and dropped to eighteenth place!
The team from "Falmer" lured Hurzeler in the summer before last. The German immediately secured eighth place and is now trying to repeat that result. Consistency is lacking, but from late February through March they mostly won. After the break, there were no problems with Burnley either—they won 2-0.
The London side averages 1.25 goals scored per game, conceding 1.59 on average. Welbeck and company score 1.34 goals and concede 1.16 per match.
