Prediction: 2-2
Newcastle
Football game between Brighton and Newcastle United will close Saturday’s program in the Premier League round 4. The Seagulls kicked off the new campaign with back-to-back wins over Luton and Wolves, but they head into the match following a 3-1 loss to West Ham United. Julio Enciso is sidelined with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Magpies, on the other hand, dropped a one-goal advantage against ten-man Liverpool and, no doubt, they are desperate to make amends for the heart-breaking defeat. Since both sides are likely to go for a victory in Saturday’s encounter, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. As for the away team, Emil Krafth misses out with injury, while Javier Manquillo is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. In their last meeting in the national championship Newcastle defeated Brighton 4-1
