Brighton & Hove Albion Preview – Will the Seagulls get back to winning ways?
Brighton & Hove Albion were fast out of the blocks this season, picking up six wins from their opening seven league and cup matches. The Seagulls spent the early weeks of the campaign in the top six of the Premier League table.
Brighton have slowed up of late, though, not winning in the league since a 2-1 home victory over Leicester City on 19th September. They followed that up with a Carabao Cup success over Swansea City, but Graham Potter’s boys have lost two and drawn four of their following six league and cup fixtures.
Brighton were 2-0 down at Anfield and seemingly on their way to a third Premier League loss of the season last weekend. However, they stunned Jurgen Klopp’s boys, with goals from Enock Mwepu and Leandro Trossard giving them a share of the spoils in Liverpool. Can they build on that with three points here?
Newcastle United Preview – Magpies’ winless run to go on?
Newcastle United parted ways with Steve Bruce last month after opening their Premier League season with five losses and three draws from eight. At the time of writing, the Magpies are still on the search for Bruce’s permanent replacement.
Graeme Jones has taken control of the team for the last two matches. In game one, Newcastle picked up a handy 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. They were level with leaders Chelsea at the break last weekend, but a dominant second-half display from the Blues saw Thomas Tuchel’s team leave St James’ Park with a 3-0 victory.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Newcastle United Betting Advice
In this fixture last season, Brighton picked up an easy 3-0 win over the Magpies in March. Leandro Trossard opened the scoring on the stroke of half time, with Danny Welbeck and Neal Maupay adding goals in the second period. Maupay scored twice, while Aaron Connolly was on the scoresheet in a 3-0 Brighton victory at St James’ several months earlier.
Key Facts – Brighton & Hove Albion vs Newcastle United Betting Tip
- Brighton have suffered just two league defeats thus far
- Newcastle are winless in their opening 11 league and cup games
- The Seagulls are unbeaten in eight against United (four wins, four draws)
Brighton did the double over Newcastle without conceding last season. In fact, they have kept four clean sheets in a row against the Magpies, with United netting just once in the previous eight meetings between the two. Graham Potter’s men are due three points, and we fancy the hosts to win to nil at 13/8.
Neal Maupay was a thorn in Newcastle’s side last season, scoring three times across the two meetings. You can get 7/4 for the Frenchman to net in a Brighton win at the weekend.
