Newcastle look to confirm their sixth place finish in the Premier League when they host Brighton at St James’ Park this weekend. Brighton will be hoping to build on their 1-0 win over Aston Villa and see the season out on a high.
Newcastle vs Brighton Prediction
Newcastle made it nine goals in two games with the four-goal thrashing of Burnley at Turf Moor last Saturday.
Eddie Howe's side could still leapfrog a struggling Tottenham and finish fifth this season.
Brighton ended a run of six games without a win when they narrowly came past Aston Villa at home last weekend.
The Seagulls have fallen in to the Premier League's bottom-half of late, but could move back into the top 10 with a victory here.

This is another game that promises goals but we are backing Newcastle to come out on top. They are unbeaten in their last seven at St. James’s Park and have won four of the last five. Eddie Howe’s side are scoring an average of 3.29 goals per game during that run.
