Latest Brighton vs Newcastle football review
After a run of six games without a win in the Premier League and FA Cup, Brighton revived their European ambitions with a crucial win over West Ham on Saturday afternoon. The home game was played under pressure from the East Sussex crowd, and it looked like it would be another disappointing day for the home side as West Ham took the lead late on. However, two substitutes – Kaoru Mitoma and Carlos Baleba – shone, securing all three points.
After finishing 11th last season, Brighton are continuing their push for a European spot. Currently, coach Fabian Hurzeler's team is 9th, equal on points with Fulham (8th) as the season enters a dramatic phase.
Despite being ranked ninth in the home record, Brighton are still a tough opponent at the Amex Stadium. They have lost just three of their 17 home games this season – only Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Chelsea have lost fewer at home.
While the summer recruits have yet to make their mark, Joao Pedro – a 2023 signing – remains Brighton’s brightest star. The Brazilian striker is currently leading the team in both scoring (10 goals) and assisting (6).
After ending a 70-year title drought with the title in March, Newcastle have turned their full attention to the Premier League, aiming to return to the Champions League after a season's absence.
The Magpies have won six of their last seven Premier League games, including a comfortable win over relegation-threatened Ipswich last weekend, which saw Dan Burn and Will Osula score their first goals of the season, as well as Alexander Isak’s 26th of the season.
With five consecutive home wins at St James' Park, Newcastle have moved up to third 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 into the south of England, but their last away game was their heaviest defeat of the season – a 4-1 loss to Aston Villa on 19 April.
One of the bright spots in Newcastle's squad is Jacob Murphy. The former Norwich City man is currently the second-highest assist provider in the Premier League this season, behind only Liverpool's Mohamed Salah.
