Newcastle vs Brighton Prediction & Tips
Newcastle United will host Brighton & Hove Albion at St James’ Park on Sunday, March 2, 2025, at 1:45 PM GMT, in the FA Cup fifth round. This match is particularly intriguing as both teams are Premier League sides, making it one of five all-Premier League ties in this round.
Manager Eddie Howe has confirmed that striker Alexander Isak is doubtful due to a groin injury sustained during the recent 2-0 loss to Liverpool. Howe emphasized the importance of not risking players’ long-term fitness, especially with the Carabao Cup final approaching.
Other absentees include Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles, Jamal Lewis, and Joelinton. Callum Wilson is expected to lead the attack in Isak’s absence.
The Seagulls will be without Jason Steele, Igor, Lewis Dunk, Ferdi Kadıoğlu, Joël Veltman, and James Milner. Despite these absences, Brighton has been in strong form, securing four consecutive wins, including a 2-1 victory over Bournemouth.
