The final matchday of the Premier League season brings us a thrilling clash between newly crowned European champions Tottenham and Brighton, as Spurs look to cap off a memorable season at home. Can the European champions wrap up their domestic campaign with a win on their home soil?

Tottenham Preview & Form

Tottenham heads into this final home game in high spirits after lifting the UEFA Europa League trophy in midweek, ending a 17-year trophy drought. Ange Postecoglou’s side claimed a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the final at San Mamés, securing a spot in next season’s Champions League. However, despite their European glory, Spurs’ domestic form has been a struggle. Last weekend, they suffered a 2-0 defeat at Aston Villa, marking their 21st loss of the Premier League season. The team is on a six-game winless streak in the league, with five losses and one draw. They’ve also been poor at home recently, having lost their last two Premier League games, conceding two goals in each of them.

Brighton Preview & Form

Brighton are looking to secure a top-eight finish and a place in European competition next season. To keep their hopes alive, they need a win here and some favorable results elsewhere. Under the guidance of Fabian Hurzeler, the Seagulls have been in great form, going unbeaten in their last four Premier League matches, winning three and drawing one. Last weekend, Brighton pulled off a stunning 3-2 victory over Premier League champions Liverpool, coming from behind twice to snatch all three points. Their attack has been on fire, scoring two or more goals in each of their last five league games. However, Brighton’s away form has been a bit shaky, with just one win in their last four road matches. Still, three of their last four Premier League away games have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals.
