Brighton and Hove Albion — Tottenham Hotspur : Match Preview and Prediction for September 20,2025

Brighton Team Overview

Fabian Hürzeler’s side has shown some inconsistency this season. Nevertheless, the “Seagulls” are fully capable of improving their performance, especially at home in the Premier League, where they have accumulated all their points this season (a 1-1 draw with Fulham followed by a 2-1 victory over City). This makes it particularly challenging for any opponent to defeat the German manager’s team at the Amex.

Recent Performance and Squad Status

The previous matchday, the first after the international break, saw Brighton — a team with many international players — struggle to maintain full intensity against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. The “Seagulls” equalized early in the second half, but conceded a penalty goal from Semenyo around the hour mark, resulting in a 1-2 final score.

Preparation for Tottenham Match

Now, with a full week, the team has had the opportunity to recover players after the international fixtures and prepare specifically and calmly for the home game against Tottenham. For this match against the “Spurs,” the hosts will be without Hinshelwood, March, and Webster, while new signing De Kuyper is questionable.

Tottenham Hotspur Overview

Tottenham has had an incredibly productive week. Thomas Frank’s team demonstrated flexible and effective football, first securing a dominant 3-0 victory over West Ham at their stadium while playing with a man advantage, and then successfully kicking off their Champions League campaign at home, defeating Villarreal 1-0 after an opponent’s goalkeeping error. The “Yellow Submarine” pressed hard and created chances, but ultimately, the defense, along with goalkeeper Vicario, held firm, even though the Londoners expended considerable energy. Now, in this intense schedule, Tottenham must travel to the Amex to battle the “Seagulls.”

Squad Updates for Tottenham

For this match, the visitors will be without Drăgușin, Maddison, Kulusevski, and Takai, while Bissouma and Solanke are doubtful.
