Harry Redknapp’s Analysis of Newcastle United

In a conversation with BetVictor, Redknapp commented on the challenges Newcastle faces. He highlighted Brighton as a tricky opponent, noting their ability to defeat top teams while struggling against others. This season, Brighton has shown inconsistency, having recently secured victories against major rivals but underperforming against lower-ranked teams.

Newcastle’s Recent Form

Redknapp acknowledged Newcastle’s significance in set-pieces and their pace, suggesting they could pose problems for Brighton. He predicts a closely contested match, forecasting a 2-2 draw. He observed, “The amount of late goals conceded by Newcastle is unbelievable,” but also noted their recent positive showing in a win at Nottingham Forest.

• Newcastle has conceded late goals in several matches this season.
• They secured a much-needed victory against Forest recently.
• Nick Woltemade has been a standout player, scoring in recent games.

Brighton’s Performance at Home

Historically, Newcastle has struggled at Brighton, having lost only two of their last seven league matches there. Redknapp’s prediction aligns with previous encounters, as five of the last seven games at the Amex ended in draws. Brighton’s home form has been mixed, with results that saw them draw against Fulham and Spurs.

Defensive Statistics

Defensively, Newcastle has been solid, maintaining clean sheets in five of seven matches this season, including all three away games. In contrast, Brighton has conceded in every league match this season. If Newcastle can secure another clean sheet on Saturday, they stand a good chance at victory.
