Brighton & Hove Albion vs Newcastle United Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/18/25

The return of the Premier League this weekend will be welcomed by both Brighton and Newcastle, who have both been in good form to start the season. While the pair sit 11th and 12th in the Premier League table, both teams have only lost 2 games each from their opening 7 games, and there should be plenty of optimism in both camps.  Brighton have avoided defeat at home so far this season, beating Manchester City and keeping Tottenham at bay in a 2-2 tie.  The Seagulls have also beaten Chelsea away from home and they should be a tough nut to crack. Sadly for Fabian Hurzeler’s team, the Magpies have been robust at the back, with only Arsenal conceding fewer goals. Eddie Howe’s side has yet to lose on the road, and after 3 wins in 4 games, they will travel to Brighton with a spring in their step.

While Newcastle’s defensive record has been impressive this season, this matchup is often a banker for an end-to-end battle. Both teams have scored in 7 of the last 9 meetings between the pair since 2021. Brighton’s xG of 11.2 is only bettered by 4 teams, while Newcastle’s is a healthy 8.4. Both sides have averaged over 11 shots each per game, and there’s every chance we will witness another lively affair at the AMEX Stadium this weekend.
