Premier League Battle: thrilling showdown between Newcastle United and Brighton!

Match Stats

Newcastle may have narrowly missed out on another top-four finish this season, but their strong recent form has kept them in contention for Europa League qualification. With four wins in their last five games, including a commanding 4-1 victory over Burnley, they're currently sixth in the table, just two points ahead of seventh-placed Chelsea and Manchester United.

To secure European football next season, Eddie Howe's side must continue their positive run, starting with their upcoming clash against Brighton. Newcastle has a recent history of success against Brighton at home, winning their last two encounters with a combined scoreline of 6-2.


On the other hand, Brighton's season has been somewhat inconsistent, with a recent win over Aston Villa breaking a six-game winless streak. Despite sitting in 11th place, their hopes of European qualification are slim, with a seven-point gap to seventh-placed Chelsea.

While Brighton has struggled on the road lately, winning just one of their last 10 away games, their recent record against Newcastle is promising. They've lost only two of their last 13 meetings with the Magpies and are aiming for their third league double over Newcastle, having previously achieved it in 2020-21 and 1978-79.
