Brighton preview: Hurzeler’s Seagulls
Brighton and Hove Albion come into this one on the back of a steady start to the 2025/26 Premier League season with two draws, three defeats and two defeats in their opening seven matches, with those games consisting of 20 goals.
The Seagulls most recently shared a 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux a couple of weeks ago before the October international break, courtesy of a late equaliser scored by defender Jan Paul van Hecke.
Newcastle preview: Steady Newcastle
Newcastle United have embarked upon a very busy summer transfer window and the Magpies have had to gel at the start of this season but things are beginning to move in a positive direction across all competitions.
Newcastle eased past Nottingham Forest by two goals to nil a fortnight ago to mean that they have now suffered just one defeat in their last five matches across all competitions, even that was by a slender margin and with heartache against Arsenal.

Brighton vs Newcastle prediction
Down on the south coast, Brighton and Hove Albion will be able to try and set themselves about a Newcastle side that have seemingly become a bit more reactive this season with a bit more of a focus on transitional football. The Seagulls will be expected to be on the front foot but that may suit Newcastle with their counter-attacking capabilities, such as Anthony Elanga and Anthony Gordon supporting link man Nick Woltemade.
Brighton vs Newcastle tip: Double chance – Newcastle to win or draw
