Upon return to winning ways against out-of-sorts Southampton last weekend, Brighton will aim to take their high momentum into this fixture, one that is very crucial to their survival in the Premier League this season.

Newcastle United, like their opponents, are battling to keep the demons of relegation at bay. Following a third consecutive stalemate in the Premier League last weekend, they will strive to bring this disappointing run to a halt.

Brighton vs Newcastle United Team News

Brighton's last fixture ended in 2-1 victory against Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium. After Che Adams's goal for Southampton canceled out Lewis Dunk's opener, both sides went in at halftime on level terms. Ten minutes into the second period, Brighton reclaimed the lead courtesy of a Leandro Trossard's goal, which was enough to seal the deal for the visitors.

This victory spelt the end of an embarrassing run that saw Brighton go winless in five successive Premier League games, losing their last three. And having collected 29 points from 28 league games, the Seagulls currently sit in 16th place on the league table, three points clear the relegation zone.

Brighton's position on the log is not a true reflection of their performances so far this campaign, and this can't be stressed enough. Nevertheless, Graham Potter will be aware of the little margin for error available to his side, as they seek to salvage what is left of what has been a disappointing campaign.

Meanwhile, the same can be said for his opposite number, whose side currently sit one place beneath Brighton & Hove Albion on the league table. Steve Bruce will be sweating to come up with a plan to arrest what has been a huge slump for his side.

Having managed to gather a total of 28 points from 28 league games, the Magpies sit two points above 18th-placed Fulham - who might tentatively leapfrog them into 17th-place, depending on their result on Friday evening. Furthermore, Newcastle are on a five game winless run, playing a stalemate in each of their last three Premier League games.

Their last stalemate came against Aston Villa at St. James' Park. It was an evenly contested fixture which ended with a 1-1 scoreline. With five minutes plus stoppage time to go, Newcastle's two central defenders were in the mix of action, as each one of them scored at either ends. After a Ciaran Clark's own goal, his partner Jamaal Lascelles scored in stoppage time to salvage a point for the hosts.

It was a resounding 3-0 victory for Brighton & Hove Albion when these sides met in the reverse fixture last September. Brighton, the hosts this time around, scored two early goals to take Newcastle out of the contest at St. James' Park.

Brighton vs Newcastle Predictions

Brighton will look to claim to back-to-back victories in the Premier League for the second time this season, and for the first time since their impressive 1-0 wins against Tottenham and Liverpool.

Newcastle, on the other hand, will aim for their first win in six games. While they have the third worst away record in the English top flight, nothing glowing can be said about Brighton's home record either. Although there is no clear difference between both sides, we expect Brighton – the more confident team – to slightly edge out as winners.
