Here are our Newcastle v Brighton predictions, odds and free bet tips from our range of football betting sites ahead of the game.
Newcastle v Brighton Match Preview
Newcastle and Brighton will lock horns in a pan-Premier League FA Cup Fifth Round tie on Sunday afternoon.
March spells a critical month for Eddie Howe’s men as his side chase a Champions League berth next term, and end their long, painful wait to lift a domestic piece of silverware.
The EFL Cup Final is a couple of weeks away, although Newcastle will renew hostilities against Liverpool, a side they lost 2-0 away to at Anfield in midweek in the Premier League.
Brighton, on the other hand, are gathering momentum at the perfect time, reeling four wins on the bounce in all competitions, the latest being a thrilling 2-1 win over Bournemouth in the league.
The Seagulls were 1-0 victors the last time they visited St James’ Park, but will they come out on top again? I’m on hand to provide some pre-match thoughts and underline my Newcastle Brighton predictions with some juicy betting tips.
Seagulls to swoop in on Newcastle
It has largely been an excellent campaign for Brighton to date, and they could well emulate the high of the 2022/23 season when they finished sixth in the Premier League.
Newcastle, as mentioned, have a make-or-break kind of month, and the year 1955 weighs like a millstone around their neck.
That, of course, is the last time they lifted a trophy, and the burden of expectation is always heavy in the North East.
Despite progressing from each of their past nine FA Cup Fifth Round ties, Newcastle have only won two of their previous 15 meetings with Brighton (D7, L6).
When you also consider that Brighton have won each of their previous four FA Cup ties against Newcastle without conceding a goal, that doesn’t bode well for the Magpies.
Newcastle will also have to be wary of Georginio Rutter, who has been the ace in the pack for Brighton in the FA Cup, contributing four goals and two assists in his previous three appearances in the competition.
To kick things off, I’m going with Brighton to win and complete the job within 90 minutes. A 21/10 price has been offered up at Unibet for that outcome.
Joao Pedro on the mark again
When these two sides last met, Danny Welbeck made Newcastle pay with a tidy finish from close range.
Although Welbeck ended a 14-game goalless streak in all competitions with the winner against Bournemouth, he’s not the most prolific.
The goals, nevertheless, have flowed for Brighton over the past few weeks, rattling home 11 in their past four games in all competitions.
Joao Pedro has played a key role, scoring in back-to-back games against Southampton and the Cherries, and I think he could find the back of the target against Newcastle.
To wrap things up, I’m backing Pedro to break the deadlock, and he’s trading at a sizzling 15/2 with bet365.
