Latest football match prediction: Brighton vs Newcastle
After a run of six winless matches in the Premier League and FA Cup, Brighton revived their European qualification ambitions with a crucial victory over West Ham last Saturday afternoon. The match took place at home under pressure from the East Sussex crowd, and it looked like another disappointing day for the home side as West Ham led until near the end of the game. However, two substitutes – Kaoru Mitoma and Carlos Baleba – shone, securing all three points.
After finishing 11th last season, Brighton are continuing their pursuit of a European spot. Currently, Fabian Hurzeler's side sit 9th, level on points with Fulham (8th), as the season enters its most dramatic phase.
Despite ranking only 9th in home record, Brighton remains a formidable opponent at the Amex Stadium. They have lost only 3 of their 17 home games this season – only Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Chelsea have lost fewer at home.
While the summer signings haven't yet made a significant impact, Joao Pedro – a signing from 2023 – remains the brightest star in the Brighton squad. The Brazilian forward currently leads the team in both goals (10 goals) and assists (6).
After ending a 70-year trophy drought with a league title in March, Newcastle have focused all their efforts on the Premier League, aiming to return to the Champions League after a season's absence.
Newcastle have won six of their last seven Premier League games, including a comfortable victory over relegation-threatened Ipswich last weekend. That match saw Dan Burn and Will Osula score their first goals of the season, alongside Alexander Isak's 26th goal of the season.
With a run of five consecutive home wins at St James' Park, Newcastle have climbed to third place in the Premier League table, creating a two-point gap over Nottingham Forest in sixth place.
Newcastle currently have the fourth-best away record in the league, which gives them confidence heading to the South of England. However, their most recent away game was their heaviest defeat of the season – a 1-4 loss to Aston Villa on April 19th.
One of the standout players in the Newcastle squad is Jacob Murphy. The former Norwich City player currently has the second-highest number of assists in the Premier League this season, behind only Mohamed Salah of Liverpool.
