Matter of stats | Spurs vs Brighton (WSL) | The numbers behind Sunday’s clash

Brighton & Hove Albion are the visitors to Brisbane Road in the Barclays Women’s Super League on Sunday (3pm UK, live on SPURSPLAY) and we put some strong statistics on the line.

All eyes will be on the encounter in the capital this weekend as we look to leapfrog the Seagulls in the table, with only two points separating us after 15 league games.

And we boast quite an impressive home form against Brighton in the WSL.

In our last five meetings at home to the south coast side, we’ve won three and drawn two, including last season’s 1-1 draw at Brisbane Road, which saw Bethany England rescue a point with a late leveller.
