Newcastle vs Brighton Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Despite Brighton’s recent rise, they will go into this game as the underdogs. A win for the visitors here is priced at 3.6 while Newcastle United have odds of 2.06 to win. A draw comes with odds of 4.00.

Newcastle United are coming from two straight outings without a win. They almost pulled a comeback win against Leeds United in the last game but Leeds rallied to see the game end 2-2. Ahead of that game, the Magpies had lost 2-0 at home to Arsenal. As they return home, Newcastle United will be focused on strengthening their hold of third place. Newcastle United have scored in all but one of their last five matches and are strong at home. They have seven wins in 10 home matches and only failed to score twice – against Arsenal and Liverpool. The hosts have however not been very strong defensively of late. Coming into this game, they’ve kept no clean sheet in the last five games and four have had over 2.5 goals. In the last three meetings with Brighton, Newcastle United haven't lost.

Brighton have been superb against teams in the higher league positions. They are coming from wins over sides in the top four in two of their last three matches. However, they are without a win against Newcastle in three meetings. The most recent one ended in a 0-0 draw in August 2022. Three times in their last five matches, Brighton have kept clean sheets. It will be interesting to see how they extend that here when facing the in-form Callum Wilson. A 3-0 win away to Arsenal in their last game is a massive boost for Brighton. They're good in attack, netting in each of their last five matches and the same is the case away from home. Brighton have failed to score once in five matches against Newcastle United.
