Brighton & Hove Albion form and stats

Brighton & Hove Albion have played 18 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-6-7 (wins-draws-losses). Three consecutive losses here at The American Express Community Stadium is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.

Brighton manager G. Potter and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Southampton (placed 12th) in the Premier League. Ahead of that match, Brighton lost 0-5 at home to Manchester City.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Brighton have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found nine games) they have won two times, drawn two and lost five.

Brighton has scored 20 league goals at home this season, in 18 matches. Brighton have conceded 27 from these games.

Newcastle United form and stats

There's been little loot from Newcastle United's travels as they have only collected 17 points from 18 away games in the Premier League. Newcastle United, who have the most conceded goals (37) away in Premier League, only have 5 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 2 draws. Three has not been a lucky number for Newcastle as they have been defeated three times in a row since the West Ham United match. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Newcastle have lost on their last two travels.

Newcastle's previous game was their home loss versus Tottenham Hotspur (1-3). Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Watford's place.

Newcastle United are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and three defeats. From a total of five matches.

Newcastle United are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 18 away goals from 18 games (in the league). The Newcastle manager S. Bruce has some worries about the defense as 37 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Brighton-Newcastle United H2H statistics last nine meetings regardless of arena: Brighton & Hove Albion four wins, Newcastle United two wins, three draws. one of these nine matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
