Newcastle United won the match 3-1.
The match took place on Saturday, 2 May 2026.
Newcastle United beat Brighton 3-1 at St. James' Park. Our model favoured Brighton at 43% probability, a pick that did not land. Newcastle's recent form had been poor, showing two losses in their last five matches, yet they dominated this encounter to secure a comfortable victory. Both sides had shown balanced attacking and defensive records in their recent outings, but Newcastle's home advantage proved decisive. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Newcastle occupy 15th; Brighton are 6th, a 9-point gap. This is a significant drop-off match for the hosts, who have won once in five. Brighton's attacking potency, evidenced by 4 goals in five games, contrasts sharply with Newcastle's 1-goal tally. BTTS probability stands at 50% for both sides. The fixture carries weight in Brighton's top-six push and Newcastle's relegation-form concerns.
