Safe Core Pick

"Brighton's excellent offensive form (4 wins, 1 draw in last 5) and higher league position (6th) suggest they are very capable of scoring. Newcastle, despite poor form, is playing at home and can also contribute goals. Over 1.5 goals is a common occurrence in Premier League matches, especially with these teams' styles. The estimated 88% probability for at least two goals provides a good edge."
