Two sides neck and neck in the Premier League table clash this weekend as Newcastle United travel to the South Coast to take on Brighton.
- Date: 18/10/2025
- Kick-off: 3:00pm
- Location: Amex Stadium, Brighton
Brighton are currently 12th in the league table with nine points from seven games. The Seagulls have had a solid start to the campaign and will be satisfied with where they sit in the standings.
Their form is decent, with Fabian Hurtzeler's side winning two, drawing two and losing one of their last five outings. Their wins came against Chelsea (3-1) and Barnsley (6-0), their draws came against Wolves (1-1) and Tottenham (2-2) while their sole defeat came against Bournemouth (2-1).
Over 2.5 goals have been scored in all of their last five outings in all competitions, while BTTS has occurred in all of their last five matches in the league.
Newcastle United sit 11th in the league table with nine points from seven games. Amidst a tough fixture schedule and much off-pitch turmoil, Newcastle have done well and will fancy their chances of kicking on and ascending up the table in the coming weeks.
The Magpies have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five games, in the shape of wins against Nottingham Forest (2-0), Union Saint-Gilloise (4-0), and Bradford (4-1), while their draws came against Bournemouth (0-0) and their defeat against Arsenal (1-2). Over 2.5 goals have been scored in three of their last four outings, while BTTS has occurred two of their last four matches.
Brighton have seen a lot of success in this fixture of late, winning three of the last five head-to-head matchups, while the other two have ended in draws. The most recent game ended in a 1-1 draw, while three of the last four meetings at the Amex have ended all square (1-1, 0-0 & 1-1). Four of the last five meetings have seen BTTS occur, so we expect that theme to continue here in a game that could see the spoils shared once again.
Brighton 1-1 Newcastle
