Tottenham are 4th, Brighton 9th and there is a gap of 9 points in the actual table, but the performance data puts them even at around 26 points, and at this stage it is a better metrics than the actual table. Well, that is arguable of course, in the end only the goals and points do count.

At home Brighton are 4-4-1 after 9 matches, the sole loss came in August vs West Ham, but of those 4 wins four have come by at least 2 goals margin.

Looking at the results it is fair to expect both teams to score, only against Arsenal away it did not happen when they lost 2-0 two weeks ago.

Brighton were really good at the start of the season, but now it seems that the opponents have analyzed how the coach De Zerbi plays them, and also the injuries are playing a big role in the weakened results.

There is a very long list of absentees at both camps, yet Tottenham seem to have regained their good form, or have they?

Let us take a look at the last 7 Tottenham matches, both results and xG:

Poor away at Wolves, badly destroyed away at City, winning Forest has been somewhat lucky and it is only Forest. The home win over Newcastle looks good, but it was at home, against a badly weakened Newcastle side, and one of the key men of that match, Richarlison, is not fully fit if available at all today.

Brighton have been punished several time from corners, 4 times out of 31 corners and that is a massive number these days and has to be addressed, they have also conceded all the 5 penalties given against them. There is some chaos in their defensive area, but neither of those set pieces have been especially strong for Tottenham this season, and Richarlison would be a big miss.

Brighton have 2 days of more rest here, they are at home, and they host a weakened side who are not as good as the table suggests, and personally I go for a -1.5 Brighton win here in this match which looks like a very likely goal fest, but of course, a win by any score is more likely.

Good luck!

托特纳姆热刺排在第4，布莱顿排在第9，在实际积分榜上有9分的差距，但表现数据显示他们甚至在26分左右，在这个阶段，这是一个比实际积分榜更好的指标。当然，这是有争议的，最终只有进球和分数才算数。

在主场，布莱顿9场比赛战绩为4胜1负，唯一一场失利是在8月对阵西汉姆联，但在这4场胜利中，有4场胜利至少领先2球。

看看比赛的结果，期待两支球队都能进球是公平的，只有在客场对阵阿森纳的比赛中，两周前他们0 - 2输掉了比赛，这并没有发生。

布莱顿在赛季开始的时候表现得很好，但是现在看来对手已经分析了主教练德泽比是如何对待他们的，而且伤病也是导致成绩下降的重要原因。

两个阵营都有一长串的缺阵名单，然而热刺似乎已经恢复了他们的好状态，或者他们有吗?

让我们来看看热刺最近的7场比赛，包括结果和xG:

客场对狼队表现不佳，客场对曼城被严重摧毁，赢了森林森林有点幸运，而且只有森林森林。主场战胜纽卡斯尔看起来不错，但那是在主场，面对的是实力严重削弱的纽卡斯尔，而那场比赛的关键人物之一理查利森，如果今天能上场的话，也没有完全康复。

布莱顿已经被罚了几次角球，31个角球中有4个，这是一个很大的数字，必须要解决，他们也被罚了5个点球。他们的防守区域有些混乱，但这两个定位球本赛季对热刺来说都不是特别强，而理查里森将是一个很大的失误。

布莱顿在这里还有两天的休息时间，他们是在主场，他们面对的是一支实力较弱的球队，他们的实力并不像积分榜上显示的那么好，我个人认为布莱顿在这场比赛中会以1 -1.5的比分获胜，这看起来很可能是一场进球比赛，但当然，任何比分的胜利都更有可能。

好运！
