FW Predictions for Brighton vs Newcastle
Two teams that picked up maximum points on the opening day of the Premier League season go head-to-head this weekend as Brighton play host to Newcastle. Both sides will be confident that they have the ability to maintain their 100% record this weekend and we're expecting an entertaining 90-minutes between the pair.

Both Teams to Score
Both teams scored in each of the two meetings between Brighton and Newcastle last season, and we're expecting more of the same on Saturday. The Seagulls have seen four of their last five matches end with both teams getting on the scoreboard while the same can be said for two of Newcastle's last four fixtures, so you can see why we're not backing either side to keep a clean sheet this weekend.
Over 2.5 Goals
At least three goals have been scored in three of the last four league meetings between these two sides, and there is a good chance we will be treated to over 2.5 goals on Saturday as well. Four of Brighton's last five matches have featured at least three goals while over 2.5 goals have been scored in three of Newcastle's last six outings, adding further weight to our prediction.

A close and competitive 90-minutes expected at the AmEx
Brighton would have been expecting a very tough test at Old Trafford on the opening weekend of the new season as the Red Devil's new manager would have been aiming for a winning start to his reign. However, it was Brighton that looked the better of the two sides and took the lead through Groß on the half-hour mark. The very same player was at it again 9-minutes later, firing the ball home from close range. In the second half, Man Utd did get back into the game when Mac Allister deflected the ball into his own goal in the 68th-minute but Brighton held firm to secure a famous away win.
Brighton Predicted Lineup: Sánchez, Webster, Veltman, Dunk, Lallana, Groß, March, Mac Allister, Caicedo, Welbeck & Trossard
Newcastle were expected to win comfortably at home to Nottingham Forest. While the opening goal failed to arrive in the first forty-five minutes, the Magpies were by far the better of the two teams. A belter from Schar eventually broke the deadlock in Newcastle's favour, just before the hour mark. The home side confirmed all 3pts 12-minutes from time when Wilson finish after good work from Joelinton.
Newcastle Predicted Lineup: Pope, Trippier, Schär, Burn, Targett, Almirón, Willock, Guimarães, Wilson, Saint-Maximin & Joelinton
Team News
