Brighton & Hove Albion vs Newcastle United Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 05/04/25

Brighton and Newcastle meet at the Amex Stadium on Sunday in a key game in the battle for the European places. The Magpies have Champions League qualification in their sights, while 8th place may be enough for Brighton to qualify for the Conference League. Newcastle are in fine form with 7 wins in their last 8 across all competitions and they look the more likely victors. However, Brighton have only lost 3 of their 17 home games and they claimed what has to be a confidence-boosting comeback win over West Ham last time out, recovering from 2-1 down to win 3-2 with 2 late goals, so the best bet could be to bet on over 3.5 goals.

Brighton’s EPL games average 3.3 goals and Newcastle’s average 3.2, and both have been involved in some high-scoring matchups of late. Over 3.5 goals has been a winning bet in each of Brighton’s last 3 games and in 3 of the Newcastle’s last 4. Both of these teams also look capable of contributing as Newcastle have gone 9 games without drawing a blank across all competitions and Albion have hit 11 goals in total across their last 6 home games. All signs point towards a shootout at the Amex.
