Newcastle vs Brighton

Brighton and Hove Albion have picked up their third Premier League victory at St. James’ Park in what was their eighth such fixture (D3 L2), with the Seagulls having kept a clean sheet in over half of their trips to Newcastle in the competition (5/8).

Newcastle United are now winless in their last four Premier League matches (D2 L2) after going unbeaten in five previously (W4 D1); it is the Magpies’ longest winless streak since losing four in a row between December and January last season.

Newcastle United have failed to score a Premier League goal at St.James’ Park for the first time since the start of last season, having scored in each of their last 22 at home; it brings to an end what was their longest home scoring run in the top-flight since a run of 24 from 1995 to 1996.

Newcastle are unbeaten in their last three Premier League home games against Brighton (W2 D1), having failed to win any of their first four against them without scoring a single goal (D2 L2).

Brighton have lost just two of their 14 Premier League meetings with Newcastle (W5 D7), though both defeats have come across their last three visits to St James’ Park.

Although they’ve lost just one of their last eight Premier League games (W4 D3), Newcastle are winless in their last three (D2 L1). However, at home the Magpies are unbeaten in their last 11 (W6 D5).

Brighton have conceded eight goals in their last three Premier League games (2-2 v Nottingham Forest, 2-4 v Chelsea, 3-2 v Tottenham), one more than they had in their previous eight matches combined. The Seagulls haven’t conceded 2+ goals in more consecutive league games since March 2022 (a run of 6).

Brighton have scored 2+ goals in each of their last three Premier League games, last having a longer such run in January 2023 (5). Indeed, they’ve netted multiple goals in five of their seven league games so far this season, having failed to do so in any of their final 13 games in 2023-24.
