Newcastle Utd take on the visitors Brighton at “St James' Park” in the gameweek 21 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, December 30th.
Newcastle Utd’s performance doesn’t impress in this season. “The Magpies” deserved only three triumphs alongside with five defeats and single draw at their own turf. The side’s offense is a real disaster, having scored only nine goals so far which is a horrible result for such a club. Besides, the team is also conceding quite much – 12 goals in nine clashes. Newcastle Utd managed to succeed in the previous fight against West Ham with 3:2 scoreline which is of course quite promising, however, one shouldn’t forget that there had been quite a long unlucky series before that as the club had been unable to win since the 21st of November. The club has been broken twice by Arsenal and Everton with the same 0:1 scoreline before that victory.

On the contrary, Brighton have surpassed everyone’s expectation in this season. However, the team conducts its away games not quite well as it has lost seven out of 10 encounters played on the road with only two clashes won instead. The side has also scored too little – only five goals which is a disastrous result, having conceded 13 goals instead. Thus, one can come to a conclusion that the team feels extremely uncomfortable at away turfs. However, Brighton started to take on their form. “The Seagulls” picked up four points in three latest battles, having recorded 1:0 triumph over Watford, 0:0 draw against Burnley in face of their fans and 0:2 loss to Chelsea which was quite predictable though.
The previous head-to-head between the rivals was finished in 1:0 victory of Brighton this September. In total the teams met 13 times with seven clashes finished in favour of “The Seagulls” and four other won by Newcastle Utd. I assume that there won’t be many goals combined in the forthcoming battles as both opponents are not in their best shape now.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 scored goals.
