Brighton vs Newcastle United to End in a Draw â 5/2
Fabian Hurzeler’s Brighton and Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United have drawn three games each in the 2025/26 Premier League season, and we expect another stalemate on Saturday.
At the Amex Stadium, Brighton have drawn two of their three matches (W 1). Newcastle, meanwhile, have drawn all three of their away league matches this season, with all three finishing goalless.
To top it off, three of their last four meetings at the Amex Stadium have ended in a draw, making it the most likely outcome.
Brighton and Newcastle are unlikely to be the only teams to share points this weekend. Crystal Palace vs Bournemouth betting tips suggest there could be another draw at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Both Teams to Score: Yes â 4/6
Brighton & Hove Albion have not kept a clean sheet at home this season, and they almost always find a way to score (6/7 games this season), even when they are playing poorly.
Newcastle United have yet to score an away goal in the Premier League this season. But considering how impressive they were (18 shots, 9 on target, xG 3.45) in the 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest, we are backing them to score at least once.
Nick Woltemade to Score Anytime â 9/4
After Alexander Isak’s departure, Newcastle United got into a bit of a lull. But over the past four gameweeks, they have found a new focal point in Nick Woltemade.
The German has scored three goals in his four Premier League matches. Across competitions, he has been on a three-game scoring run for Newcastle United.
Woltemade also scored the only goal as Germany beat Northern Ireland in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers earlier this week.
