Brighton – Newcastle Preview

Brighton & Hove Albion hosts Newcastle United at the American Express in a match from the 35th round of the Premier League. Stick with us and our sure soccer predictions for this clash. Here we go!

Let’s start with the hosts here. Brighton & Hove Albion are 9th in the league with 51 points won. They are on par with the 8th Fulham, so reaching Top 8 is a pretty much a realistic goal for the Seagulls.

Last weekend Brighton enjoyed their 13rd win for the season. The Seagulls faced West Ham United at home, and prevailed in a dramatic affair at the American Express – 3-2. Ayari, Mitoma and Baleba scored for Fabian Hurzeler’s team. It was Brighton’s first win since some time, so the fans were happy.

The Japanese star Kaoru Mitoma could return in Brighton’s line-up against Newcastle. The midfielder started from the bench against West Ham, but now he could be in the line-up – he’s an important player for Brighton’s creativity.

Newcastle United are the team with more to lose here. The Magpies continue to chase their biggest goal – a Top 4 finish and another participation in the Champions League. Right now Eddie Howe’s team is third in the standings with 62 points – one more than the 4th Manchester City.

Newcastle’s are almost perfect lately – four wins in their last five games in the league. Last weekend the Magpies faced Ipswich Town at home, and did enough to crush the Tractor Boys – 3-0. Alexander Isak, Dan Burn and Will Osula scored for Newcastle.

Alexander Isak remains Newcastle’s top scorer. The Swedish international has 22 goals scored so far in the league. He’s having a remarkable season once again.

That’s the sure soccer predictions for the Premier League clash between Brighton & Hove Albion and Newcastle United. Can the Magpies make another step towards the Champions League? Well, let’s see!
