Newcastle United vs Brighton Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
The Seagulls have reached the FA Cup fifth round in three consecutive campaigns.
Newcastle United are all set to lock horns with Brighton in the FA Cup 2024-25 fifth-round fixture at home. This is going to be a crucial clash for both sides. The Magpies ended up as the better side against Birmingham City FC in their previous FA Cup encounter. The Seagulls took down Chelsea to proceed.
The Magpies will be at home and it will be added as an advantage for them. Newcastle United do have the calibre to get to the next stage but their inconsistent form might come in their way. Eddie Howe’s men will have to come up with some consistent level of play to get to the FA Cup quarterfinals.
Brighton will be looking to continue their winning momentum going into the cup competition match against the Magpies. The Seagulls have shown some great run of form as they defeated Chelsea twice in the matter of one month. They still are going to have a tough time against Newcastle United.
