Newcastle vs Brighton Soccer Betting Tips
For their 3rd season in a row with the elite, Newcastle did not take part in the fight for retention and finished 13th in the Premier League with 10 points ahead of the relegation zone. Little really concerned by the end of the season, the Magpies have lined up 6 last games without a win in the league (2 draws and 4 defeats). On the other hand, they started the new exercise very well by gleaning a very valuable success on the lawn of West Ham last weekend (0-2). In the middle of the week, Newcastle defeated Blackburn (Championship) in the Carabao Cup at home (1-0).
Brighton lived up to expectations last year by ensuring its maintenance. The team took 15th place in the Premier League with 3 units behind their opponent of the day and 7 ahead of the red zone. The Seagulls approached the end of the championship well after the restart. They only lost against the big names (Manchester United, Manchester City, and Liverpool), for 3 wins and 3 draws. Last weekend, Brighton posed some problems for the Chelsea armada but was finally beaten at home without demerit (1-3). In the middle of the week, the team outclassed, at home, Portsmouth (3rd division) in the 32nd round of the Carabao Cup (4-0).
The workforce for Newcastle vs Brighton
Newcastle’s workforce is greatly reduced by the absences of tauliers Dubravka, Schär, Dummett, and Matthew Longstaff and potential incumbents Clark and Gayle, who fill all ranks of the infirmary. The Magpies have not lost an important player for the moment except the loaned Lazaro, Williams, Bentaleb, and Danny Rose, but on the other hand, reinforced a failing attacking sector last year (4th worst attack in the Premier League). In this sense, striker Callum Wilson has come to solidify the ranks of the Magpies, he who scored 14 league goals in 2018/2019 and 8 goals last year, just like his friend from Bournemouth, attacking midfielder Ryan Fraser. Wilson has adapted well to his new teammates and he found his way straight away on Matchday 1. This is also the case for Irish international Hendrick (ex Burnley).
3 elements are lacking in Brighton for this trip: they are the important Dutch midfielder Pröpper, the goalkeeper n ° 2 recruited this summer Walton (ex Blackburn), and the Colombian international striker Izquierdo (long-injured), all stranded in the infirmary. During the offseason, the team was forced to let go of substitute defender Shane Duffy (Celtic), important midfielder Aaron Mooy (Shanghai SIPG), and side Martin Montoya (ex-Barça). The club has been clever to compensate for these absences since it has enlisted at a lower cost the Dutch defender, often injured with Ajax lately, Joel Veltman (28), and the experienced attacking midfielder of Liverpool, also in prey to injuries, Adam Lallana (32). The 1st city remained on the bench during the 1st day while Lallana was the holder. Last year, the Frenchman Neal Maupay finished the club’s top scorer in the league with 10 goals.
