Match Statistics
Lineups
Squad Ratings
The overall squad rating for Brighton is 6.91, compared to 6.79 for Tottenham. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. Brighton's highest-rated starter is J. van Hecke (7.32), while Tottenham's best-rated player is B. Davies (6.93).
Attacking Output
The starting XI of Brighton have contributed 23 goals and 11 assists this season, led by D. Welbeck (13G). Tottenham's starters account for 16 goals and 10 assists, spearheaded by Richarlison (10G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.
Defensive Solidity
Brighton deploy 4 defenders rated 6.99 on average, against Tottenham's 4-man backline averaging 6.77. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.
Midfield Control
Brighton field 4 midfielders averaging 6.90, versus Tottenham's 5 rated 6.75. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.
Forward Threat
Brighton start 2 forward(s) averaging 6.70, compared to 1 for Tottenham averaging 6.84. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.
Passing & Build-Up
Passing accuracy averages 85% for Brighton and 75% for Tottenham. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.
Discipline
Brighton's starters have collected 28 yellow cards this season, compared to 22 for Tottenham. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.
Age & Experience
The average age of Brighton's starting XI is 31.1 (youngest: J. Hinshelwood (20), oldest: J. Milner (39)), while Tottenham average 27.3 (youngest: D. Udogie (23), oldest: Son Heung-Min (33)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.
Squad Depth
Brighton's starters average 20 league appearances each, versus 22 for Tottenham. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
