Newcastle vs Brighton Prediction: 11/5/2024

Riding high on consecutive victories against Sheffield United (5-1) and Burnley (4-1), Newcastle United aims to secure a Conference League berth as they face Brighton at St. James’ Park. The Magpies have been prolific scorers recently and are expected to continue their aggressive offensive strategy against the Seagulls. Kieran Trippier is in a race to recover in time for Saturday’s match, while Fabian Schar, Joseph Willock, Jamaal Lascelles, Lewis Miley, and Sven Botman are all sidelined due to injuries.

On the flip side, Brighton, coming off a win against Aston Villa with a goal from Joao Pedro, faces a tougher challenge at St. James’ Park. Considering Newcastle’s impressive performance in the Premier League, a victory for the home side seems likely. Brighton will be without Adam Lallana, Kaoru Mitoma, Jan Paul van Hecke, Pervis Estupinan, Evan Ferguson, and Jack Hinshelwood, who are all unavailable due to injuries.

The game is predicted to end with a 2-1 victory for Newcastle United.
