Brighton vs Newcastle betting tips and summary

Brighton to win or draw – strong H2H record

Under 3.5 goals – good H2H record + Newcastle trend

Over 9.5 corners – Good recent trend

Newcastle will make the long journey south to play Brighton, as both sides resume their 2025/26 English Premier League season following the international break on Saturday afternoon.

It had been a season clouded by off the field drama for Newcastle, as the transfer of Alexander Isak took over the headlines throughout the summer and into the beginning of the campaign.

Despite a somewhat underwhelming points tally, the Magpies have lost only three times this season – with both EPL losses coming in stoppage-time against Liverpool and Arsenal.

A 4-0 win over Belgian side Royal Union Saint-Gilloise got manager Eddie Howe’s side’s first points on the board in their Champions League campaign, following a competition opening defeat to Barcelona.

Newcastle are yet to lose on the road this season and they will be keen to correct a poor record at the Amex Stadium on Saturday, especially with the form of new striker Nick Woltemade.

The hosts, meanwhile, have recorded an identical record to Newcastle so far this season.

With two wins, two draws and three losses, manager Fabian Hurzeler’s side sit level on points with Saturday’s opponents and will look to extend their unbeaten run to four English Premier League matches.

Brighton claimed a 3-1 win away to Chelsea sandwiched between draws with Tottenham and Wolves in their latest English Premier League match.
