3 reasons why Newcastle will beat Brighton in the Championship this evening

Best away record in league

Brighton may have the best home record in the Championship this season, but no side has picked up more points on their travels that Newcastle this term.

The Magpies have won 11 of their 16 matches away from St James’ Park thus far, with only Fulham, Nottingham Forest, and Blackburn beating Benitez’s men, while fellow relegated sides Aston Villa and Norwich have picked up valuable draws against the North East giants.

Other than that though, Newcastle have been sensational away from home, with Slavisa Jokanovic’s Fulham the only side in the top half to beat Benitez’s side this term away from St James’ Park.

Although they still have to play the likes of Huddersfield, Reading, and Sheffield Wednesday on their travels, the Magpies will take great confidence from their excellent away record to the AMEX Stadium this evening.
