Brighton vs Newcastle United prediction

The Seagulls have been much better at the Amex than away from home, but Newcastle are a robust attack and will feel good about adding to Brighton's clean-sheet woes. Newcastle can be tested out wide but their center backs are strong and deep. However, planning for a UEFA Champions League visit from Benfica could lead to interesting lineup decisions from Eddie Howe. Brighton 1-2 Newcastle.
