It has been a campaign to remember for Newcastle United, with their first major trophy bagged in more than 60 years with the Carabao Cup and they are now chasing a top 5 finish. They have their destiny in their own hands in pursuit of Champions League football, but they know that this will be a tricky test at Brighton. The Seagulls knocked Newcastle out of the FA Cup back in February and both sides will be desperate to pick up all three points here.

Brighton vs Newcastle United Analysis
Both of these sides will be looking for three points, in what promises to be an excellent game for both punters and EPL betting sites.
Brighton
Qualifying for the Champions League next season now looks to be well beyond Brighton, but the Seagulls will be desperate to keep their push for European football alive this term. Having endured a couple of rough results lately, the Seagulls dug deep to overcome West Ham last time out and they are a side who will be actively recruiting and rebuilding again during the summer. They have plenty of key players that will be up for this one, despite the fact they are seen by many as underdogs for this game with most punters and Premier League betting sites.
Team news: Joao Pedro is suspended for Brighton, whilst James Milner, Igor Julio, Ferdi Kadioglu, Adam Webster and Georginio Rutter are out injured.
Brighton Predicted Lineup:
Verbruggen, Hinshelwood, Van Hecke, Dunk, Estupinian, Baleba, Wieffer, Ayari, Mitoma, March & Welbeck.
Newcastle United
For Newcastle, the equation is very simple, if they win all of their remaining games, they will be playing Champions League football next season. The Magpies continue to evolve and develop under Eddie Howe and with the potential summer of spending on the cards, they could be a real force to be reckoned with in the Premier League next season. This is a big one in terms of their ambitions though and Newcastle know they will need to be at their best to prevail here against a dangerous Brighton side.
Team news: Lewis Hall and Jamal Lascelles remain out of action for the Magpies.
Newcastle United Predicted Lineup:
Pope, Livramento, Schar, Burn, Trippier, Guimares, Joelinton, Tonali, Murphy, Barnes & Isak.
Brighton vs Newcastle United Prediction
Both of these sides have enjoyed good Premier League campaigns and getting over the line will be their key objective here. Brighton continue to grow as a force and securing any sort of European football would be a huge achievement for the Seagulls this season. Newcastle meanwhile have the bit between their teeth at the moment and are playing with plenty of confidence. Picking up all three points is key for both sides but perhaps Newcastle look best placed to win this one.
Prediction: Newcastle United to win the match – 11/8 (+138) – Rhino Bet.
Brighton vs Newcastle United – The Ultimate Bet
Newcastle United to win & BTTS – 3/1 (+300) – Fitzdares
Both of these sides have heaps of attacking talent and it could suit Newcastle more if it transpires to be an open game.
