Why Bet on Tottenham?
Tottenham is not that far from the contenders for the title, but they can’t find the necessary pace to assault the top again. Many have said that this is a mentality problem for the team, and that seems to be the case as they let go of the three points again after taking the advantage, this time against Everton.
Most of these bottle jobs were in the period following their calamitous match with Chelsea, where they lost many important pieces, but the fact is that they should be winning games in a row again and are not doing so, coming with just two wins in their last five matches. They accumulated two draws in this period and a loss against this same rival.
The good news is that Richarlison is having a redeeming season. With ten goals in the Premier League, he’s not that far in the battle for the Golden Boot, a different scenario than last season.
Why Bet on Brighton?
Brighton is still a dangerous team in the Premier League, but the pressure of playing European football for the first time in their history is notable. At this point last season, the team still had a chance to go to the Champions League, while this time, they are from the outside pack that wants to scratch the last ticket for an international tournament.
Still, their form in the last five matches is equal to Tottenham’s, with two wins, two draws, and a loss. Precisely, that defeat was also pretty humiliating, as they were completely obliterated by the recently promoted Luton. That match did nothing but showcase their main problem: the defense. They are the worst among the top ten with 38 goals against.
Whatever the case, their attack keeps being remarkable, as with 42 goals, they are pretty solid in this regard. For context, they scored eleven more than Manchester United, two positions above them in the table, and just five less than Arsenal, third.
Final Betting Analysis: Tottenham vs. Brighton
These two teams already faced this season not long ago, and Brighton steamrolled Tottenham at their home 4-2. Truth be told, that match was pretty balanced in many aspects, but the Seagulls (then locals) took total advantage of their chances, while the Spurs were barely capable of breaching their rivals’ goal after they were already 4-0 down and pretty much beaten.
In the last five matches, there have been two victories for Brighton and three for Tottenham, so it’s fair to say that they know how to hurt each other, and this is a pretty balanced duel as of late.
However, we believe the Spurs will make their home ground respected and take advantage of their rivals’ shacky defense. A 3-1 will be the final result.
Go for a victory for the locals at 1.91. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $91 for a total payout of $191.
