Key factors

    At 2.7 expected goals, the 2.5 line is close to 50/50 (52% for the over).

  3. Quality gap

    Edge: Newcastle

Team set-up

How will the two teams line up?

Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Newcastle United

Newcastle are organised and hard to break down, and they usually get results at St James' Park by winning the midfield.

Away

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton are well drilled and have enough quality up front to punish mistakes on their trip to St James' Park. Everything they do starts with control of midfield.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.

  • If Newcastle name a weakened XI

    Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.

  • If Brighton score first

    The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.

  • If a red card comes in the first hour

    Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.
