Both Teams To Score

Reason for tip

The emphasis here will be for both teams to attack after they were defeated at home last week. Brighton were stunned by West Ham at the Amex while Newcastle’s two defeats in their opening three games will be a disappointment despite the fact the reverses were against Manchester City and Liverpool, so expect both teams to score in this one.

Draw 2-2

Reason for tip

There have been 14 goals in Brighton’s opening three games and these look to be two evenly matched sides. Newcastle demonstrated their attacking prowess when they put five past Aston Villa in their opening game and a point may not be a bad result as Eddie Howe’s side look to steady the ship, so it is worth chancing Saturday’s clash ends in a 2-2 draw.

Alexander Isak To Score Anytime

Reason for tip

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe should be able to rely upon Alexander Isak to cause the Seagulls’ defence problems with his pace at the Amex. the Swede scored twice in Newcastle’s 5-1 win over Aston Villa and has the potential to net again now he has put his injury problems behind him.

Brighton vs Newcastle Predictions

  • There have been 14 goals in Brighton’s three Premier League matches this season.
  • Both teams have scored in each of the Seagulls’ last five league games at the Amex.
  • Newcastle have found the net in six of their last eight Premier League away matches.

Entertaining clash likely at the Amex

Expectations are high at both Brighton and Newcastle this season after the Seagulls qualified for the Europa League for the first time and the Magpies secured a berth in the Champions League.

However, they both suffered a setback last week as Roberto De Zerbi saw his Albion team fall to a 3-1 home loss to West Ham and Eddie Howe’s side were beaten by two Darwin Nunez goals at home to ten-man Liverpool.

So the emphasis is there for both to get back into the swing of things quickly and both teams look capable of finding the net at the Amex.

Before their defeat to the Hammers, Brighton had been excellent in consecutive 4-1 wins over Luton and Wolves, even though both of those opponents are expected to struggle this season.

They have failed to score in just one of their last 16 home Premier League matches, but the magpies could exploit gaps their attacking style can leave at the back so both teams to score is an attractive bet.

Challengers could be difficult to separate

Newcastle ended last season nine points ahead of the Seagulls, but they could be evenly matched in this clash.

After losses to Liverpool and Manchester City, a point may not be a bad result for the Magpies, who drew eight of their 19 away matches last season, a tally that was beaten only by strugglers Everton last term.

There is a feeling that Brighton claimed their opening two victories over weak teams and Newcastle will provide them with more problems, but six of their last eight games at the Amex have featured more than three goals, so it is worth chancing that the game will end in a 2-2 draw.

Isak finding his feet for the Toon

While their supporters will be disappointed to see Newcastle in the bottom half of the table even at this early stage of the campaign, defeats to the champions and Liverpool should not be considered disastrous for the Toon Army.

One big plus is that they have a top striker in Alexander Isak, who looks to have put his injury problems firmly behind him as he attempts to firmly establish himself in the English top flight.

The Swede scored twice in their opening 5-1 victory over Aston Villa and he represents good anytime-goalscorer value to make his mark again on the south coast.
