Brighton vs Newcastle form
Brighton's performances so far this season have probably been enough to satisfy their fans. Despite a few blemishes from defeats at Everton and Bournemouth, the Seagulls have shown the makings of a team capable of finishing in the top half of the table.
The tougher the opponent, the better the team playing at the Amex Stadium. A prime example is their two victories against Man City (2-1) and Chelsea (3-1).
Furthermore, Brighton could have also secured all three points in their match against Tottenham in round 5 if they hadn't dropped points after leading by two goals.
Despite showing a fairly positive performance, Seagulls are currently only ranked 12th. However, with only a 3-point gap to Crystal Palace in 6th place, the home team has a very good chance of breaking into the top 10.
Of course, securing three points against Newcastle is a must. However, achieving this goal will not be an easy task for Fabian Hurzeler and his team.
At the very least, besides the home advantage and consistent form recently, the German strategist's "luck" could also boost the home team's confidence.
In all three encounters with his colleague Eddie Howe and Newcastle, the manager born in 1993 remained unbeaten, securing two wins and one draw.
Brighton themselves have not lost in their last five encounters with Newcastle, with three draws and two wins.
In their three home games since the start of the season, Seagulls have yet to suffer a defeat, securing one win and two draws.
New signing Nick Woltemade is having an impressive start at St James' Park.
On the other hand, Newcastle will also travel to the Amex with confidence.
After a rocky start marked by personnel issues, The Magpies are gradually stabilizing and beginning to achieve impressive results.
In their last two matches, the away team won both, scoring 6 goals and conceding none. In particular, expensive new signing Nick Woltemade, who was bought to replace Alexander Isak, is making a strong impression. After 7 appearances, the German striker has contributed 4 goals.
Before the match at the Amex, both teams were close to each other in the standings with 9 points each. Brighton were only temporarily ahead due to a better goal difference. With such a balanced situation, it is likely that each team will be satisfied with leaving the field with one point in hand.
