Newcastle vs Brighton Predictions

• Brighton have only lost one of their last eight away games.
• Newcastle have lost two of their last four home matches.

Seagulls could cause an upset in the north east

Newcastle fell to their fourth defeat in their last eight games at Anfield in midweek and the in-form Brighton could take advantage of their fragility when they lock horns in the FA Cup on Sunday.

The visiting Seagulls took all three points off Bournemouth in their midweek tie to extend their winning run to four successive matches, including back-to-back wins over Chelsea.

They have only lost one of their last eight away games and beat Newcastle 1-0 at St James’ Park in October to make it three meetings without defeat against Eddie Howe’s side.

With two defeats in their last four at home, Brighton are worth backing in the double chance market, and I think they might take the win inside 90 minutes, too.

They have scored twice or more in six of their last eight away games and Newcastle have conceded nine times in their last four at home, including a 2-1 defeat to Fulham, making that an attractive correct score prediction.
