Newcastle vs Brighton Prediction & Betting tips
The Saturday in the Premier League ends with a duel at the beautiful St. James’ Park, where Newcastle United receives Brighton & Hove Albion in-house. Can the players of Newcastle United celebrate a party on Saturday night? Or does Brighton take the points to the South of England?
Newcastle United:
Five games have been played and Newcastle United can be found again under the red line. However, that is no reason to panic at The Magpies, because Newcastle United has had a difficult time in the Premier League in recent years and was regularly under that line. The fact is that Steve Bruce did not start his employment at Newcastle United as he had hoped. Bruce only took four points with Newcastle United, which already won 0-1 against Tottenham Hotspur and, just before the interland break, drew 1-1 against Watford.
Newcastle United continued the competition last weekend with a 3-1 defeat visiting Champions League winner Liverpool. At Anfield, The Magpies took the lead early on with a great goal from Jetro Willems, but as the game progressed, it turned out that Liverpool had a lot more individual qualities than Newcastle United. A defeat at Anfield is also not a disaster for a club like Newcastle United, as long as the points are caught against the competitors. Brighton is one of those competitors and at Newcastle United they should not lose at St. James’ Park anyway if The Seagulls are guests on Saturday night.
Brighton & Hove Albion:
Brighton & Hove Albion is not doing much better than Newcastle United, as The Seagulls are only two places above Saturday’s opponent and only one point more. Moreover, Graham Potter’s team has not won in the Premier League since the first round, when Brighton was no less than 0-3 too strong for Watford. In the four games that followed, Brighton grabbed only two points, including the point that The Seagulls took in-house last weekend against Burnley.
In its own American Express Community Stadium, Brighton did not get further than a 1-1 draw against Burnley. Potter’s team took the lead just after half-time by a goal from Neal Maupay, but unexpectedly left that lead in the final stages when Burnley struck from a long shot in the extra time. As a result, Brighton lost two expensive points, as Burnley, like Newcastle United, is normally just a competitor of Brighton & Hove Albion.
