'I am worried': Jamie O'Hara now predicts if Tottenham can beat Brighton this afternoon

Tottenham face Brighton & Hove Albion this afternoon in what could be a huge Premier League tie for the north London side.

Having beaten Manchester United last weekend and then secured a 2-1 win away in Hungary against Ferencvaros in the UEFA Europa League, Tottenham are looking in good shape ahead of today’s trip down to the south coast.

With Heung-min Son still out injured, though, Spurs could be for a tough game against Brighton, who despite recent results in the Premier League have looked good this season under new manager Fabian Hurzeler.

And pundit Jamie O’Hara has now shared what he thinks the score will be today.

Tottenham predicted to drop points against Brighton

Speaking on TalkSport, the pundit predicted that Brighton will take points away from Tottenham, with O’Hara stating that the Seagulls usually have Spurs’ number based on previous meetings.

With a win potentially enough for Tottenham to climb into the top-four if other results today go their way, there will be a huge incentive from Ange Postecolgou for the north London side to get all three points at the Amex Stadium.

However, O’Hara is not too confident that Tottenham have what it takes to win away to Brighton, who they themselves will be keen to claim a big result having not won in the Premier League since August against Manchester United.

O’Hara said: “We never really play well against Brighton, so that’s why I am worried about. I think it’s going to be a good game. I think there is going to be goals. I think 2-2 or something like that.”

Tottenham can send a message by winning today

Tottenham have had a mixed start to the new season, with Spurs showing bright moments in some matches yet still failing to fall short in their quest to finish in the top-four this season.

Which is why a win today against Brighton could be huge for the north London side in their mission to the return to the UEFA Champions League, with wins today exactly the sort of thing that will get Tottenham over the finish line.

Indeed, Tottenham have the quality to claim all three points against Brighton, and Postecoglou knows how important a win could be today for Spurs in beating the likes of United and Chelsea to top-four.
