The betting angle: Can a broken Spurs defence handle Brighton’s relentless press?
De Zerbi’s tenure in north London got off to the worst possible start last weekend with a dismal defeat to Sunderland. Their miserable top-flight winless streak stretches back to late December, leaving dressing room confidence completely shattered. To make matters worse, talismanic club captain Cristian Romero is now sidelined with a concussion following a nasty collision on Wearside, leaving a terrifying void at the heart of the Tottenham defence.
Conversely, Fabian Hurzeler has his dynamic squad purring following a clinical 2-0 victory over Burnley. They have won five of their last six matches, playing with ruthless, high-pressing efficiency. Even with Hurzeler forced to watch from the stands while serving a touchline ban, Brighton possess the firepower to ruthlessly exploit their old manager’s fragile defensive setup.
Without their Argentine enforcer, Micky van de Ven faces a monumental task trying to hold Spurs’ structure together against a clinical Brighton side. The Seagulls love to draw desperate teams in before exploding down the wings into vacant space. With the visitors brimming with confidence and Spurs drowning in relegation anxiety, expect Brighton to heap maximum misery on their former boss.
