Newcastle vs Brighton: Predictions & Odds
Newcastle will be hoping to put even more distance between themselves and the relegation zone this weekend when they play host to an out-of-form Brighton on Saturday. The Seagulls sit 8pts and four places above Newcastle in the Premier League table but have suffered defeats and failed to score in each of their last three league games.

Newcastle to Win
Newcastle haven't beaten Brighton since the Seagulls made their way into the Premier League back in 2017. However, the Magpies are best placed to win this game now that they have found some level of consistency under Eddie Howe which has produced four wins and two draws from their last six outings. Brighton sit above Newcastle in the Premier League table but head into this game in poor form having lost each of their last three league games, failing to score on each occasion.
Under 2.5 Goals
We're expecting another low-scoring game between these two sides on Saturday. Five of the last seven head-to-heads between the two clubs have produced under 2.5 goals, including the 1-1 draw the duo played out at the AmEx in November. The recent results of both teams also add weight to our prediction for fewer than three goals being scored in this weekend's clash as five of Newcastle's and four of Brighton's last six fixtures have witnessed under 2.5 goals scored.

Newcastle looking to take advantage of Brighton's poor form
Newcastle would have been very confident about their chances of securing a victory away at Brentford last weekend and once Dasilva was sent-off with just 11-minutes on the clock, there was only one direction this result was going to head. Joelinton, not known for his scoring ability, broke the deadlock in the 33rd-minute and when Willock added a second right before the break, Newcastle had effectively wrapped up the win. No further goals were added in the second half so Newcastle won 2-0 and moved further away from the drop zone.
Newcastle Predicted Lineup: Dúbravka, Schär, Burn, Krafth, Targett, Shelvey, Fraser, Murphy, Willock, Wood & Joelinton
Brighton were hoping to get back to winning and scoring ways when they played host to Aston Villa last time out but instead, the match ended in a third straight defeat. Cash put the visitors in front in the 17th-minute and in the second forty-five, Watkins doubled Villa's advantage after good work from Mings. The Seagulls have slipped down to 10th as a result of that defeat and could soon find themselves back in the bottom half if their poor form continues.
Brighton Predicted Lineup: Sánchez, Veltman, Dunk, Cucurella, Lamptey, March, Moder, Bissouma, Mac Allister, Trossard & Maupay
