Stored as Away Win

Odds: 2.48 Return (incl stake): £0.00 Net P/L: -£10.00

AI reasoning

Brighton has shown strong recent form with 4 wins in their last 5 matches, while Tottenham has struggled significantly, losing 4 of their last 5. Brighton's overall season performance is also better, with a higher win percentage and a positive goal difference. The odds reflect Brighton as the underdog, but their current form suggests they are likely to win.

Risk

While Brighton's recent form is strong, Tottenham's home advantage could pose a risk. However, given the disparity in recent performances, this risk is manageable.
