Tottenham take on the visitors Brighton in the round 30 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, April 8th at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium (London).
Tottenham Hotspur are currently in fourth place in the Premier League table. However, Manchester United also has the same number of points as Spurs in the fight for the Champions League zone, and they have two games in hand. This is due to the fact that Antonio Conte's former team has been missing out on victories too often lately. I'm not sure if Spurs will win this match, but I expect goals from both them and their opponents. The home team's defense is far from ideal. In the last three rounds, the TTH players have consistently exchanged accurate shots with their opponents: a 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest, draws with Everton (1-1) and Southampton (3-3).

Brighton and Hove Albion are one of the most important and brightest discoveries of the current Premier League season. Roberto De Zerbi's team has not suffered a defeat in five consecutive rounds and has risen to sixth place in the table. Moreover, the Seagulls are four points behind Tottenham, but they have two games in hand. Brighton's attack is doing great, with 51 goals scored in 27 Premier League matches. And in the last 17 rounds of the championship, the Seagulls have left the field only once without disappointing their opponent. I think that such a strong team is worth expecting at least one accurate shot.
Overall, considering how unstable Spurs have been playing lately, I initially wanted to take the X2 bet. But I still allow a possibility for a home team victory in this match. And it seems to me that it is much more reasonable to choose the "both teams to score" prediction. The Seagulls are very good at realizing their chances this season, and their attack is their main advantage today. But in defense, De Zerbi's players are not perfect, as evidenced by recent high-scoring draws with Leeds (2-2) and Brentford (3-3). Tottenham has played two more games in the Premier League than their opponents and scored two more goals. Their attack is also in order. But for three rounds in a row, Spurs have not been able to keep a clean sheet. Tottenham and Brighton haven't exchanged goals in their previous meetings for a long time. I think this trend will be broken in this round.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
