In a postponed game of the 25th game of the English Premier League, Newcastle welcomes St. James' Park in Brighton.
Newcastle left with a 2-2 draw the previous matchday in a satisfying match at the home of Leeds. The match did not start well and in the first quarter they were behind the score while in the 28th minute they risked a second goal but the home team missed a penalty. In contrast to the same one who was accurate from 11 steps in the 31' and 69' taking a lead in the score which, however, did not last as in the 79' it equalized and was fatally limited to the level of a draw.
This was the second game in a row for Newcastle to stay out of the top three and now the battle for the top four is on fire, after 35 matches it is in 3rd place in the standings with 66 points, as many as 4th Manchester United and plus 1 from 5th Liverpool of 36 matches.
Brighton were impressive on Sunday afternoon at the home of Arsenal, beating the home team 3-0. In the first half both teams had chances to score but they proved misplaced and unlucky in the final effort. In the second half, Brighton opened the scoring in the 51' and then, although limited to a passive role, they did not leave the home team's defensive mistakes unexploited and with 2 more goals in the 86' and 90'+6', they gave dimensions of triumph to their victory .
Thus, Brighton certified another competitive season in the excellent season it is going through and claims with claims a European ticket, after 34 matches it reached 58 points and is in 6th place in the Premier League.
Very interesting matchup between two teams that are justifiably so high in the standings. Both want the victory to take another step towards their goal, Newcastle that of the four while Brighton that of the six. It is dangerous to predict a point, however, with the quality they possess, they can give us a match with many phases and goals.
Tip: Newcastle - Brighton Over 3,5 goals with odds of 2.50
