Newcastle United look to halt a worrying four-game losing streak as they host in-form Brighton & Hove Albion. As both sides are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we predict a 2-2 draw. Newcastle’s recent run has seen them drop to mid-table, averaging just 0.70 points per game while conceding a high 2.20 goals per match. The return of Bruno Guimaraes is a major boost in midfield, and Harvey Barnes could add attacking spark, but defensive fragility remains a concern, with BTTS landing in 80% of their games.
Brighton travel to Newcastle full of confidence after a 3-0 win over Chelsea, continuing a strong run with 1.90 points per game. They’ve been more balanced, conceding just 0.90 goals per match and keeping clean sheets in 40% of fixtures. Their away form is solid, and with no fresh injury concerns, they look well-equipped for this test. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
Considering high-scoring trend in Newcastle matches and Brighton's attacking output, Both Teams to Score seems like a sure bet, with additional value on Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals.
This Premier League match will be played on Saturday 2 May 2026 at 15:00.
