Brighton – Newcastle – 20.03.2021 – Prediction

It’s time for English Premier League football! Tonight at 20:00 GMT 0 at Amex Stadium, Brighton hosts Newcastle in the “underdogs’ derby”. The game is from Round 29 and it is expected to be a breath-taking battle.

Great play but still a thread of relegation

We have been all admired and amazed by the way how Brighton outplays their opponents and creates dozens of goal-scoring chances each game. Anyway, the team is endangered from relegation still and should go for a mandatory win for the Geordies tonight. The win against Southampton could give more courage and enthusiasm to the players.

Huge expectations before the start

The expectations for a highly successful season and qualifying for the Europa League next season were vivid and real before the start of the current campaign. Players of the calibre of Edinson Cavani and Philippe Coutinho were linked with transfers to St James Park. Newcastle is lying only 2 points above the relegation zone but with 2 games in advance. Unfortunately, the attacking force of Newcastle will be weakened as Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson cannot take part in the upcoming game.

Final thoughts

We think that Brighton deserves to get the 3 points today considering their overall performance throughout the season. It would be a hard one but also a deserved one.
