High-flying Brighton have a great chance to rubber stamp their place in the top six of the Premier League table when they visit out-of-form Newcastle on Saturday afternoon. 

Following last week's imperious 3-0 victory over Chelsea, the Seagulls have now picked up 13 points from their last five fixtures. The race for a place in Europe next season is incredibly tight, but if Brighton can maintain their current form, they will have every chance of securing at least a place in the Europa League. 

Newcastle's season has lurched from bad to worse in recent weeks. After being thrashed 7-2 by Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League, Eddie Howe's side have lost four consecutive league games. That poor sequence of results has virtually ended their European qualification hopes and left them with very little to play for in their remaining four games.

Our Newcastle vs Brighton Prediction

The bookies cannot separate these two sides, but the form book suggests that Brighton will be far too strong for a Newcastle side severely lacking in confidence at the moment. 

The Seagulls produced an awesome display in their last game, demolishing Chelsea 3-0 in a result that severely flattered the Blues. If they can produce anything like that level of performance on Saturday, they should have more than enough to claim another vital three points and consign the home side to a sixth loss on the spin. 

Our prediction for Newcastle United vs Brighton and Hove Albion is: Brighton to win.
