Brighton & Hove Albion v Tottenham Hotspur 17:30
This Saturday’s 5:30pm Premier League offering sees Tottenham travel to the south coast to face Brighton – a fixture that ended 1-1 last season.
Spurs will be looking to get their league season back on track after a 2-1 home defeat to Liverpool last weekend – they head into week six in sixth place on 9 points.
Brighton have started the season okay too – they sit 14th with 5 points but have still only won just one of their opening five games.
The match betting sees Spurs as the clear favourites at 1.72, the draw 3.80 and Brighton at 4.50.
The Londoners took 4 points off Brighton last season in the league, but – as mentioned – this repeat fixture ended 1-1 last term – a repeat of that can be backed at 8.00.
The Seagulls have scored just one goal in their last three games vs Spurs too, while the Londoners have netted in ALL of their last 9 against Brighton.
The last three head-to-heads ALL went UNDER 2.5 GOALS so the 2.07 on offer on this bet paying out again looks fair value, but the call here is for BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE.
Brighton are a hard side to break down at home and don’t play many games in front of their home fans without scoring at least once. Couple that in with the firepower Spurs have then the 1.75 on offer on both sides finding the back of the net makes plenty of appeal.
BEST BET: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE @1.75
