Newcastle Are leaky at St James’ Park

Newcastle have conceded 28 goals in 17 Premier League games at St James’ Park this season. The north east outfit have also seen BTTS in a league-high 13 games at home.

Eddie Howe’s side are currently in their worst spell of form this season after losing five games in a row and conceding 14 goals.

Newcastle have lost 2-1 in their last two home games against Sunderland and Bournemouth, allowing over 2 XG in both defeats.

The Toon’s losing streak continued with a 1-0 loss at Arsenal. Howe’s side conceded after nine minutes and couldn’t score with 1 XG.

Brighton Have a Dangerous Attack

Brighton are the most in-form Premier League side and have secured 13 points from their last five fixtures. The Seagulls have scored 10 goals during that strong run of form.

The south coast side were on a three-match winning streak away. Brighton beat Brentford 2-0, Sunderland 1-0 and Burnley 2-0 before a 2-2 draw at Tottenham.

Fabian Hurzeler’s team hit back with a comfortable 3-0 home victory against Chelsea. Ferdi Kadioglu, Jack Hinshelwood and Danny Welbeck scored and Brighton dominated with 2.13 XG.
