Intro

Newcastle United will be looking to boost their hopes of playing Champions League football next season when they travel to take on Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday afternoon.

Brighton have had a good Premier League campaign this season, but their recent form has seen their hopes of playing in Europe next season take a battering.

They ended a five-game winless run last time out when they recorded a 3-2 home win over West Ham United with goals from Yasin Ayari, Karou Mitoma and Carlos Baleba.

Before that win over the Hammers, the Seagulls had drawn two and lost three of their last five matches in the Premier League.

They are currently in ninth position and victory over the Magpies increases their chances of a top half finish this season.

Brighton will be without Joao Pedro through suspension, while Jan Paul Van Hecke, Adam Webster, Georgina Rutter and Ferdi Kadioglu are all out injured.

Newcastle United tasted Champions League action a couple of seasons ago, and they are on the verge of returning to the elite football competition next year.

The Magpies have already had a great campaign thanks to their Carabao Cup win over Liverpool at Wembley in March.

They occupy third place on the Premier League ladder. They are one point ahead of Manchester City in fourth and two points clear of fifth-placed Chelsea.

Newcastle have won four of their last five games in the Premier League. Their only blip was a 4-1 hammering away at Aston Villa.

They come into this game on the back of a comfortable 3-0 win over Ipswich Town with Alexander Isak, Dan Burn and William Osula scoring the goals that relegated the Tractor Boys back down to the Championship.

Brazilian superstar Joelinton misses out this weekend with a knee injury and there are concerns that his season could be over. Matt Targett has suffered a setback with another hamstring problem, while Jamaal Lascelles is still out after missing over 12 months of action.

Head To Head

These two teams have met 21 times in total over the years with Brighton having the advantage with nine wins, while the Magpies have picked up five victories.

These two have already met twice this season with Brighton winning both of the matches. They needed an extra-time goal from Danny Welbeck to secure a 2-1 win in the FA Cup to dump the Toon Army out.

Their league encounter at St James’ Park saw Brighton take home all three points with Welbeck scoring the winner. The Magpies will be looking for a measure of revenge against the Seagulls.

Brighton have been impressive this season. They might have had a little blip recently, but they are in ninth place with 51 points.

If you would have offered Newcastle manager Eddie Howe a Carabao Cup Final win and Champions League football at the start of the season, he would have snapped your hand off. They are close to securing both.

Our Betting Tip for Today

Brighton might have picked up two wins already against the Magpies, but looking at the bigger picture, United need to keep their eyes on the Champions League qualification prize.

We are backing Newcastle United to win the game and they can be backed at 13/10 with BetMGM. The Seagulls are on offer at 37/20 with the draw being backed at 14/5.

When Newcastle United are on form, they are very exciting to watch. They need to get back in that mood to get over the finish line in terms of qualifying for the Champions League.

The Toon have one of the best strikers in the Premier League in Isak and he has already scored 22 goals this season.

The Sweden international is clinical in front of goal and if you give him half a chance, he is more than likely going to punish you. We are backing him to get on the scoresheet against Brighton.

He is not the only player we are backing to score on Sunday. We also like the look of Harvey Barnes, and he is another one who likes to punish sloppy defending.

The former Barnsley and Leicester City winger has scored nine goals himself this season and we expect him to reach double figures.
