Brighton’s trip to Newcastle looks to be one of the more interesting Premier League matches this weekend.
The Seagulls flew into the international break in excellent form following a thrilling 3-2 comeback success against Tottenham. But, for 45 minutes, that outcome appeared incredibly unlikely after a defensive horror show at the Amex.
Newcastle continue to be steady in the Premier League after winning three from seven to sit seventh in the standings.
However, the Magpies come into matchday eight after failing to win in their last three.
Odds
Newcastle will be a short price favorite on the moneyline for the visit of Brighton at -101. An away success for the Seagulls is priced up at +246.

Newcastle’s record against Brighton is extremely poor, winning just twice in the last 14 Premier League matches between the sides.
Brighton have won two of their last five visits to St James’ Park, but the Seagulls have lost two of their last three trips to the North East.
Both teams to score will be a prominent angle this weekend. The selection has been a winning one in the last three, and five of the last seven.

Newcastle vs. Brighton Prediction
Newcastle’s poor record against the Seagulls makes this a very tricky game to predict on Saturday.
However, there could be value in the market for the points being shared. Three of the last six matches between the teams have ended in draws, which includes this exact fixture in 2023-24.
