Tottenham Hotspur Ladies will be brimming with confidence as they prepare to host Brighton & Hove Albion Women in the Women’s Super League on Sunday. Tottenham has enjoyed an impressive unbeaten run of five games, including three league victories and two FA Cup triumphs. Their recent successes began with a penalty shootout win over Manchester City in the FA Cup, followed by back-to-back 1-0 league wins against Leicester City and Bristol City. The North London club continued their FA Cup run with an extra-time victory in their first semi-final appearance, securing a place against Manchester United in the final next month. Prior to their upcoming clash at Wembley, Tottenham played out a 2-2 draw with Manchester United in a dress rehearsal last weekend. Beth England and Jessica Naz scored for Spurs, giving them a 2-1 lead, but Maya Le Tissier netted a stoppage-time equalizer for the Red Devils. Robert Vilahamn’s side will now turn their attention to Sunday’s contest, aiming to repeat their success against Brighton after their 3-1 triumph in the reverse fixture earlier this season. Brighton, on the other hand, has had mixed results, winning two, drawing one, and losing two of their last five WSL matches. One of those defeats came last weekend when they fell 2-1 at home to Everton. Despite Tatiana Pinto’s equalizer, an own goal by Guro Bergsvand ultimately left Brighton with nothing to show for their efforts. After the disappointing home result, the Seagulls will now travel to Tottenham with the hope of extending their three-game unbeaten away league run. Having failed to win any of their last four head-to-head meetings with Tottenham, Brighton will be determined to break their losing streak and claim their first win against Spurs since October 2021. Tottenham will be without Celine Bizet due to a foot injury, while Martha Thomas and Drew Spence are doubtful after picking up knocks against Manchester United. England, who has scored three goals in her last five appearances, will be keen to maintain her impressive form against Brighton. Brighton, meanwhile, will welcome back Spanish midfielder Vicky Losada after she served a one-match suspension. Pauline Bremer may also return to the starting lineup after playing over half an hour against Everton following a three-game injury absence. Maria Thorisdottir is another player who has recovered from an injury and could start on Sunday. Given Tottenham’s strong recent form and their ability to beat Brighton three times in their last four encounters, we predict that the hosts will continue their positive momentum and secure a narrow victory in this weekend’s clash.
