At the time of writing this article, Tottenham Hotspurs have played 22 matches in the 25-26 Premier League season. They currently sit in 14th spot with 27 points, which is 10-points clear of the relegation zone.
In their last five matches, they’ve lost two, drawn two and won one. Despite the hype at the start of the season around new manager, Thomas Frank, it appears Tottenham are yet to reach the expectations that fans and the league set for them in this 25-26 season.
In this article, we provide a brief overview of Tottenham’s form in this Premier League season and give a comparison to where they were at this time last season. Keep reading below to find out more.
Tottenham’s Home and Away Record After 22 Matches (2025–26 vs 2024–25)
In the 25-26 Premier League season after matchweek 22, Tottenham have won seven matches. However, only two of those wins have occurred at home, at their Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The majority of Tottenham’s wins have been on the road. So far in the 25-26 season, they have won five times on the road, over double that of their home record.
And if they aren’t winning at home, then they’re either losing or drawing. Unfortunately for Tottenham, the bulk of their loses in the 25-26 Premier League season have occurred at home.
In total they’ve lost six matches at home and only have three losses while playing away. This seems quite counterintuitive to what you might expect. Typically, home clubs have an advantage.
Less travel, familiarity with the pitch and pre-match routines, and of course, the home fans. However, that’s not been the case for Tottenham after 22 matches in the 25-26 season.
You can see the poor home record quite visually in the graph below; blue being home matches and grey been away matches.
For the same timeframe in last year’s Premier League, Tottenham had won two more matches at home than this year. Additionally, they had lost one less match at home last season. Again, this is all after the first 22 matchweeks.
In the 24-25 season however, Tottenham had far fewer draws. Only three draws in total after 22 matches last season (two at home, one away). Where as outlined above, Tottenham have six draws in total (three both home and away).
For comparison, the match results both home and away of the 24-25 Premier League season for Tottenham has also been graphed. You can see in the visual below that Tottenham’s home record was considerably better last season after 22 matches.
Only nine points picked up at home after the first 22 matches of the 25-26 Premier League season vs. the 14 picked up at home after the same time frame in the 24-25 season.
Goals Scored vs Goals Conceded: Tottenham’s Attack and Defence Compared Year-on-Year
We’ve looked at Tottenham’s home and away record this year compared with last year, but how about the number of goals scored and conceded.
In the 24-25 Premier League season, Tottenham had 45 goals for after 22 matches. That averages just over two goals per match scored.
On the defensive side, Tottenham had conceded 35 goals, which works out to be about 1.6 goals conceded per match. While the goals conceded metric wasn’t great (only four clean sheets out of 22 matches), the point we’re trying to make here is that Tottenham still scored goals.
Out of those first 22 matches in the 24-25 season, on 12 of them they scored more than one goal. As seen in the graph below, there is a healthy buffer between goals for and goals against for the time frame presented.
However, in the 25-26 season after 22 matches, Tottenham have only scored 31 goals. That averages out to about 1.4 goals per match, which is about 0.6 goals less per match than last season. They’ve only scored more than one goal in 10 of their first 22 matches.
Defensively, Tottenham have fewer goals against this 25-26 season. After 22 matches they have 29 goals against, which is six less than last year after the same number of matches.
Furthermore, Tottenham have recorded seven clean sheets after 22 matches. That’s one more than the whole 24-25 season.
Considering their poor goal scoring ability this season, Tottenham’s strong defensive record has helped them hold onto a lot of draws that might have otherwise ended in losses.
As you can see in the graph below, the buffer between goals for (blue line) vs. goals against (orange line) in the 25-26 season is far smaller than the graph above for the 24-25 season.
In fact, there is only a two-goal buffer between goals for and goals against. If that orange line crosser over the blue line, it means Tottenham are conceding more goals than scoring. A few more 1-0 or 2-1 losses and that might be a reality that Tottenham have to face.
Tottenham’s top five goal scorers in the whole 24-25 season were Johnson (11), Solanke (9), Maddison (9), Kulusevski (7), and Son (7). While there have been some other players who have stepped up to the plate this 25-26 season, the loss or injury of last season’s top scorers has definitely been noticeable.
As I’m sure you’re aware,
- Johnson now plays for Crystal Palace (scored two goals for Tottenham this 25-26 season before leaving);
- Solanke has been out with an ankle injury for most of the season and is yet to play a full match for Tottenham or score in the Premier League this 25-26 season;
- Maddison has not played in a competitive match since April of the 24-25 season due an unfortunate ACL tear;
- Kulusevski has also not featured in a Tottenham match since April of the 24-25 season as he recovers from a knee injury;
- Lastly, Son transferred to MLS side Los Angeles FC in August 2025 and is no longer a Tottenham player.
While players like the Brazilian Richarlison have stepped up and scored more goals this 25-26 season (scored seven Premier League goals in the first 22 matches), they are undoubtedly missing some key players from their 24-25 campaign.
What the Numbers Say About Tottenham’s 2025–26 Premier League Season
Well, that’s it for this article. In this post, we give a quick update on where Tottenham stand this 25-26 Premier League season.
We take a look at their goals for, goals against, as well as their home and away record. We compare this season’s statistics vs. the same time frame in the 24-25 season.
To date, the underlying story is that Tottenham are scoring fewer goals than last season. This doesn’t come as a surprise given the absence of key players in the 24-25 season such as Solanke, Maddison, and Kulusevski, all due to injury.
One positive is that to date, Tottenham are conceding fewer goals in this 25-26 Premier League season when compared with last year. However, if the lack of goals for continues to be an issue, the buffer between goals for and goals against will soon turn negative.
