Brighton vs Newcastle Match Prediction
Brighton are still struggling for consistency during the early weeks of the Premier League season, highlighted by their record of two wins, three draws and two defeats from their first seven matches.
The Seagulls have never lost a home game against Newcastle at this level (W3 D5).
Newcastle make the long trip down to the South Coast hoping to score their first goal on the road this season following goalless draws at Aston Villa, Leeds and Bournemouth.
With summer signing Nick Woltemade in red-hot goalscoring form, Eddie Howe's side should be confident of doing exactly that here.
