Newcastle vs Brighton Prediction 18.05.2023.

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: 18.05.2023
• Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CEST
• Venue: St. James' Park (Newcastle)

duel between two teams that have improved the most compared to last season and which, by all accounts, will represent the Premier League in European competitions. Which of them, remains to be seen through the next rounds.

Newcastle put their place in the Champions League in doubt after a draw with Leeds and a defeat against Arsenal. They were in the TOP 4 teams during the entire season and it would be a great misfortune if they lost their place in the elite European competition. Liverpool is in fantastic form and is now only 1 point behind Man Utd and Newcastle, but it is still a big deal that they have played one match more than these two. Newcastle needs 2 wins to theoretically secure the Champions League.

Brighton has no chance for the Champions League (unless a miracle happens and they win all the matches to the end and other teams like Liverpool, Man Utd, and Newcastle get bad results) Their fight is about the position in the Europa League and it is very likely that they will defend at least position 6 because Tottenham is 1 point behind them with two matches played more. In the previous round, Brighton achieved a great victory against Arsenal in London 3-0 and once again showed what a good team they are.

Newcastle vs Brighton pick: UNDER 2.5 GOALS

This is a very important match for both sides and there is a big chance that it will be crucial not to allow the first goal because it could decide this match. Newcastle and Fulham play very well when they score the first goal and continue to increase their lead or maintain it. Newcastle have the best defense in the league with Manchester City, as both teams have conceded 31 goals each. In the first direct match played at the beginning of the season in Brighton, there were no goals after 90 minutes. We expect a tough match with few chances on both sides. UNDER 2.5 GOALS is the best option
