Brighton
Newcastle United and Brighton face each other at St. James’ Park in a highly-anticipated FA Cup game. The Magpies set up a meeting with Brighton by beating Birmingham City on the road, but they do not want to stop now. Newcastle have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be top scorer Alexander Isak, while all Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles, and Joelinton remain in the treatment room.
The Seagulls, on the other hand, have been involved in some high-scoring games of late as well. Given Brighton’s attacking potential and Newcastle’s fine home record, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Danny Welbeck is a major doubt, while all Lewis Dunk, James Milner, Ferdi Kadioglu, and Igor should miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Sandro Tonali):
After starting his youth career at Piacenza back in 2009, Sandro Tonali moved to Brescia three years later. The 181-cm-tall defender has been playing for le Rondinelle ever since and it has to be noted that he made his debut with the Stadio Mario Rigamonti outfit on August 26, 2017 in a 2-1 defeat to Avellino.
Sandro Tonali scored his first ever league goal for Brescia in a 4-2 loss to Salernitana on April 28, 2018. The talented midfielder, who was born in Lodi on May 8, 2000, represents Italy U21 team in international matches.
He made his debut with the Italy U21 national team on June 19, 2019 in a 1-0 defeat to Poland. His main position is defensive midfielder, but he is used as a central midfielder as well. Sandro’s preferred foot is right and his contract with Brescia should expire on June 30, 2021.
Highlighted Team (Brighton):
Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club were formed in 1901. The Seagulls welcome their opponents at Falmer Stadium and the capacity of Brighton’s home ground is 30,750. The stadium was built in 2008 and it was opened in 2011. The venue is known for commercial purposes as American Express Community Stadium.
Brighton & Hove Albion compete in the Premier League and they play in blue and white stripes. The colour of Brighton’s away kit is green. The club made it to the FA Cup final in 1983, but English giants Manchester United proved to be a big catch for the Red Devils.
Brighton’s main rivals are Crystal Palace and the Seagulls have recorded 35 wins over the Eagles. Frank Stapleton, Martin Chivers, Joe Corrigan, Bobby Zamora, Mark Lawrenson, Bobby Smith, John Crumplin and Frank Worthington are notable footballers who played for Brighton in the past. The Albion is Preston’s yet another nickname.
