Draw- 3.70
Newcastle- 2.28

Brighton and Newcastle lock horns on the south coast in a high-stakes clash that could shape the European qualification picture. With goals flowing freely for both clubs in recent weeks, fans can expect a thrilling encounter between two of the Premier League’s most attack-minded sides.

Brighton’s Late Comeback Offers a Glimmer of Hope

Albion snapped a six-game winless run with a dramatic 3–2 victory over West Ham last weekend, overturning a 2–1 deficit with two late goals. That result not only lifted morale but kept their faint hopes of European football alive, with 8th place potentially enough to secure a Conference League berth.

While Roberto De Zerbi’s side have been patchy, especially away, they’ve been far more competitive at the Amex. Brighton have lost just 3 of their 17 home league games and scored 11 goals across their last 6 at home.

Newcastle’s Form Too Strong to Ignore

By contrast, Newcastle are surging. 7 wins in their last 8 across all competitions have reignited their push for Champions League qualification. They arrive in Sussex full of confidence and goals.

Eddie Howe’s side have found the net 3 or more times in 4 of their last 5 outings, and their 3.2 goals-per-game league average underlines their firepower. Alexander Isak’s 22nd of the season last time out against Ipswich underlined his importance, and Harvey Barnes continues to contribute regularly.

With just a handful of fixtures left, the visitors know any slip-up could be costly. Expect them to go all-in.

Expect Goals, and Plenty of Them

This one sets up perfectly for goals. Brighton’s last 3 games have all gone over 3.5 goals, while three of Newcastle’s last four have also hit that mark. Combined, these two average over 6 goals per match, and both are unlikely to sit back.

Newcastle haven’t drawn a blank in their last nine, and Brighton’s attacking unit remains dangerous, especially on home soil. Over 3.5 goals at 2.34 looks a strong angle.

A 3–2 away win is worth a look in the correct score market, with Brighton capable of striking but Newcastle possessing the superior firepower.
