The loss also came with a major setback as Cristian Romero suffered a season ending knee injury, leaving Spurs short again at the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite slight signs of improvement, results are not following and Spurs remain in trouble near the bottom of the table with just six games left. Their home form has been especially poor, with only 10 points collected all season, although a recent Champions League win at Atletico Madrid offered a brief lift in an otherwise bleak campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SquawkaBet\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"114\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1415389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-300x33.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-768x86.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1536x171.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-400x45.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-600x67.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-538x60.jpg 538w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-150x17.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-40x4.jpg 40w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1.jpg 1792w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brighton arrive in red hot form, collecting nine points from their last three Premier League matches, a total higher than Tottenham\u2019s entire haul at home this season. Fabian Hurzeler\u2019s side have beaten Sunderland, Liverpool and Burnley in that run, with Mats Wieffer starring in a 2-0 win at Turf Moor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Seagulls have taken 15 points from their last six league games, the best record in the division over that period, and sit just two points off the top six. They are now chasing a club record four straight away wins, having kept clean sheets in each of their last three on the road, and will take confidence from their strong recent record against Spurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tottenham-team-news\">Tottenham team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tottenham\u2019s injury list continues to pile up with Cristian Romero set to miss the rest of the season due to a partial MCL tear, joining a long list of absentees including Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, James Maddison, Mohammed Kudus, Ben Davies, Rodrigo Bentancur and Guglielmo Vicario, who could still return this weekend. Kevin Danso is expected to step in at centre back, while Mathys Tel and Xavi Simons are in contention for starts after a flat attacking display at Sunderland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-brighton-team-news\">Brighton team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Brighton will be without captain Lewis Dunk this weekend as he serves the second game of a suspension for reaching 10 yellow cards, with Adam Webster and Stefanos Tzimas also sidelined through knee injuries. Fabian Hurzeler could be boosted by the return of James Milner after a minor training issue, while Pascal Gross continues to play a key creative role, having created 24 chances since January, one of the highest totals in the league over that spell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-season-form-amp-standings\">Season Form &amp; Standings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Team<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Pos<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">P<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">W<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">D<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">L<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GF<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GA<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">GD<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Pts<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Brighton<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">9th<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">32<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">12<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">43<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">37<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">+6<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">46<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Tottenham<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">18th<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">32<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">7<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">9<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">16<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">40<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">51<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-11<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">30<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-head-to-head\">Head-to-Head<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-recent-meetings\">Recent Meetings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Date<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Score<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Competition<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">20\/09\/25<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Brighton 2-2 Tottenham<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Premier League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">25\/05\/25<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Tottenham 1-4 Brighton<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Premier League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">06\/10\/24<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Brighton 3-2 Tottenham<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Premier League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">10\/02\/24<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Tottenham 2-1 Brighton<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Premier League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">28\/12\/23<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Brighton 4-2 Tottenham<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Premier League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">08\/04\/23<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Tottenham 2-1 Brighton<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Premier League<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-brighton-exploit-spurs-defensive-woes-final-thoughts\">Can Brighton Exploit Spurs\u2019 Defensive Woes?

Over 4.5 Cards at 8\/11 looks a solid option, while Jan Paul van Hecke to be carded at 3\/1 makes plenty of appeal for those looking for something at longer odds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><small>Odds correct at the time of writing.
