Brighton vs Tottenham Prediction
Their previous meeting earlier this season ended in a 2-2 draw in Brighton’s home court, and Brighton is 3-1 in their 4 meetings against Tottenham before that. Their last six meetings have gone over the total.
In this Brighton vs Tottenham Prediction, Brighton is coming as +135 road favorites. Tottenham has been terrible this season and is sitting within the relegation zone. They have been struggling lately as they have lost 8 of their last 10 matches and are facing a red-hot Brighton squad that is 5-1 in its last 6 games and has conceded just two total goals in those six games. Brighton is also still in the mix for the 5th and final spot that leads to next season’s European Championships, so they will chase this victory and I love the price we get with them. Take Brighton on the moneyline.
