Tottenham Hotspur vs Brighton & Hove Albion
English Premier League, KO: 15:00 Apr 8, 2023, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR will be hoping to get their bid for a Premier League top-four finish back on track when they take on Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday.
Spurs started life after Antonio Conte by conceding a last-gasp equaliser in what was an ill-tempered 1-1 draw with Everton on Monday night.
That setback coupled with Manchester United's midweek win over Brentford means that the capital club are no longer residing in a much-coveted top-four spot.
It’s up to caretaker boss Cristian Stellini to try and raise spirits ahead of what will be another stern test when high-flying Brighton come to town.
The Seagulls are having a season to remember and they boosted their own European aspirations with a 2-0 win at Bournemouth on Tuesday night.
Roberto De Zerbi side have every right to dream of qualifying for next season's UEFA Champions League and they will look to strengthen those credentials by claiming top honours at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Outright Betting
Tottenham, who have triumphed in each of their last four Premier League home games, head into this game as narrow 31/20 (Bet 365) favourites.
Despite avoiding defeat away from home in the Premier League since October, Brighton & Hove Albion arrive in North London as 17/10 (Bet 365) outsiders while a share of the spoils can be backed at 5/2 (Bet 365).
Betting Angles
Goals are usually on the agenda when Brighton are involved and there is plenty of scope for a repeat here with Over 2.5 Goals making appeal at 5/6 (BetVictor).
Roberto De Zerbi's forward-thinking outfit have been entertaining Premier League crowds all season, as evidenced by their most recent home game which was a barnstorming 3-3 draw with Brentford.
While the Seagulls were more controlled and professional in their aforementioned 2-0 win over Bournemouth in midweek, it's worth noting that a league-high nine of their 13 top-flight road trips this term have featured three goals or more.
What's more, Albion have only managed to keep their sheets clean in two of their 13 away days thus far and their cavalier approach should present their top-heavy hosts with goalscoring opportunities here.
Although Tottenham are not firing on all cylinders at the moment, they are a team filled with goal-threatening talent, not to mention they have only failed to score in four of their 29 Premier League assignments this season so far.
With that in mind, coupled with the fact that Overs has paid out in 31 of the pair's 56 Premier League contests combined this season, there is a smidgen of value in siding with three or more match strikes on Saturday at 5/6 (BetVictor).
Elsewhere, I'll also head to the player card market and have a small play on Brighton's Moisés Caicedo to pick up a card at 5/1 (Bet 365).
The highly-rated Ecuadorian has clocked up eight cards in 26 Premier League appearances this season and he looks overpriced to add to that tally in a game loaded with top-four jeopardy.
