Newcastle v Brighton Tips

Newcastle are in poor form, having lost their last four and are dropping into the relegation picture. Brighton are still in with a European shout and will be up for this.

These draw odds seem way too high for such a close game between two teams who haven't been as high-scoring this season as previously.

Newcastle United have dropped to 14th place. Their recent form is worrying, with consecutive defeats against Bournemouth 1-2, Crystal Palace 1-2, and Sunderland 1-2.

This looks like it will be a close game. Brighton are chasing European football and have the better form, but Newcastle have the home advantage. I expect a home win with Brighton scoring.

While Brighton are flowing with confidence, Eddie Howe's Newcastle look fragile in defense, having conceded at least two goals in four of their last five matches.
