Brighton vs Newcastle – To no one’s surprise, Newcastle also got off to a winning start this season, while Brighton opened with a bang against Manchester United. They can’t wait to face each other this Saturday at the Amex stadium.

Once again, Brighton was one of the better teams in the league, having finished ninth last time around. Keep in mind that previous seasons of the Premier League had significantly tighter competition.

One of their signature victories late last season was a 4-0 thrashing of Manchester United, and they recently finished the double with a 2-1 victory in the season opener, and that too at Old Trafford.

Naturally, they are feeling more optimistic than ever, and they want to keep the good times rolling. Meanwhile, Newcastle earned their first win of the season, throwing supporters into a frenzy as they began their climb toward a top-tier finish this time around.

One of the top teams in the league during the second half of the previous season, the Magpies should not be overlooked. What’s more, they’ve been scoring goals at a constant rate as of late, and that includes their away games.

There have been a lot of goals scored in the vast majority of previous head-to-head matchups, so it stands to reason that this weekend’s game will likewise include a lot of goals.
