Before you lock in your Brighton vs. Newcastle picks or Premier League predictions, you need to see what proven soccer expert Martin Green has to say.
After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since last year's World Cup, Green has been profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks, including the Champions League (+4.78 units), the FA Cup (+3.07), the EFL Cup (+3.09) and MLS (+2.18).
Green knows that the Magpies have controlled the series against Brighton recently. Newcastle are unbeaten in their last four matches against Brighton, with two wins and two draws. Last season, these teams drew 0-0 at the Amex, and the Magpies then eased to a 4-1 victory over the Seagulls at St. James' Park on May 18. These teams also played a preseason match in July in New Jersey with Newcastle winning, 2-1.
But Green also has taken into account that the Seagulls are getting a potential star in the midfield in Carlos Baleba. A 19-year-old from Cameroon who signed a contract with Brighton earlier this week after the club agreed to a deal for his transfer with Lille, Baleba already has impressed with his stamina, dribbling and passing range in his brief career. He is projected to fill the hole left by Moises Caicedo's departure for Chelsea this summer.
Now, Green has taken a close look at the Premier League match from all sides. We can tell you he is leaning Over on the goal total.
