Bookmakers give Newcastle a slight edge in this fixture, with odds of 2.61 for a home win, 3.63 for a draw, and 2.69 for a Brighton victory.
The markets also expect goals, with over 2.5 priced at 1.70.
The current odds are:
- Newcastle United – 2.61

Newcastle will be looking to end a run of five consecutive Premier League defeats as they take on a Brighton side pushing for European qualification. The Magpies have struggled to recover from their Champions League exit, with their poor form seeing them slide down the table.
Brighton, meanwhile, are enjoying a strong run, winning four of their last five matches and drawing the other. The Seagulls know victory here is crucial if they are to secure European football next season.
Our prediction:
Over 2.5 goals
