Tottenham Hotspur vs Brighton Predictions

• Tottenham have lost five of their last six league games
• The hosts have been beaten in 12 of their 18 league games in 2025
• Brighton have won three of their last four games
• The visitors have won five of their seven visits to the bottom eight

Don’t expect Spurs to rally

Tottenham ended their 17-year wait for silverware with Wednesday’s Europa League win, securing Champions League football for next season too. They are basking in that victory, with a parade to present the trophy for their fans taking place on the Friday before their league finale against Brighton.

Tottenham slumped to 17th in the table as they focused on their European run. With their trophy celebrations taking over in the days leading up to this clash with Brighton, the hosts are unlikely to sign off with a strong result.

Brighton’s faint European hopes

In another twist to their rivalry, Crystal Palace may have snatched away Brighton’s place in Europe by winning the FA Cup. A 3-2 win over Liverpool on Monday lifted Fabian Hurzeler’s side into eighth place, which would have sent them into the Conference League had Man City beaten the Eagles.

However, Brighton could yet sneak into Europe with a little help elsewhere. If Chelsea were to slide to seventh – which would require them to lose at Forest while Aston Villa beat Manchester United – alongside winning the Conference League, then eighth place would send Brighton into Europe.

Regardless of Brighton’s European hopes, the Seagulls will be aiming for the highest possible finish to boost their prize money after a big-spending summer. Hurzeler’s first season in England hasn’t been perfect, but his side are finishing with a flourish, having won three of their last four matches.

Seagulls can cruise to victory

While Tottenham’s season is being seen in a new light thanks to their midweek win, their league form heading into the final day has been awful. Spurs have won just 14 points in 2025, losing 12 of their 18 league matches this year.

The hosts have been beaten in five of their last six league matches, while they’ve picked up fewer points than Leicester and Ipswich since the start of April. Spurs have lost 13 of their 15 meetings with the top eight this season, while they’ve lost to Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest in their previous two home league games.

Brighton have won five of their seven visits to the bottom eight, including four wins to nil. The Seagulls have scored at least twice in six of those seven trips, while they were 3-2 winners against Tottenham in the reverse fixture. This should be a more routine win for a Spurs side that have little time to prepare, while the hosts have lost 2-0 in each of their last two league outings.
