Brighton vs Newcastle Prediction & Preview — Premier League Clash at the Amex

Welcome to Extratips! This week, Brighton and Newcastle face off in a match that promises tension and excitement. Kickoff is at 14:00, October 18, 2025, in the Premier League. Brighton, 13th with 5 points, hosts Newcastle, 12th with 6 points — both teams searching for momentum after a wobbly start to the season. Recent form suggests unpredictability: their last meeting ended 1-1 and both teams have seen mixed results lately. Brighton have won 2, drawn 2, and lost 1 in their last 5 at home, while Newcastle are W1 D3 L1 in their last 5 away. Both sides rely on attacking flair but have shown defensive gaps. Key strengths for Brighton include sharp wing play and set-pieces; weaknesses include lapses at the back and slow starts. Newcastle’s strengths are direct attacks and late motivation, but they’re prone to errors under pressure and struggle against quick transitions. Injuries to Brighton’s key midfielders could tip the balance. Will Newcastle finally grab an away win, or will Brighton’s home crowd spark a turnaround? With both teams eager to climb the table, this fixture has all the ingredients for a hard-fought contest.
