Match Preview
Brighton & Hove Albion host Newcastle United at the American Express Community Stadium on Saturday, 18 October, in a clash that promises to be intriguing given both teams' contrasting recent form. Brighton come into this match with a solid record, having secured three wins and two draws in their last five outings. Their attacking prowess has been evident, with both teams scoring in seven of their last ten encounters against Newcastle. Conversely, the Magpies have struggled, managing just one win in their last five matches, which has raised concerns about their defensive stability. One key angle to consider is Brighton's home advantage. The Seagulls have been formidable at home, and their ability to create chances could exploit Newcastle's defensive frailties. With the potential for both teams to find the net, this match could see an exciting exchange of goals, especially given the historical trend of high-scoring games in their recent head-to-heads. As Brighton look to maintain their momentum, Newcastle will need to tighten their defence to avoid slipping further down the table.
