I might be being optimistic hoping to watch 2 matches in as many days but here's hoping. If I miss it though, I don't think I'll be too upset because on paper, this match doesn't look too enticing.
2 teams fighting against relegation and following Fulham's loss to Leeds, both will want a win more than ever to get themselves clear of the relegation zone. This is a classic "6-pointer".
Despite their poor run, it could be argued that Brighton have been unlucky with their loss against Crystal Palace rather typifying their fortune. They had 25 shots in that match and lost 2-1 with Palace scoring from their only 2 touches in the box. Although "unlucky" could be replaced with "not good enough" demonstrated by a lack of quality finishing.
Newcastle on the other hand are just shit below average. They play shit below average football and deservedly lose, occasionaly getting a lucky draw. The fact that Callum Wilson, Allan Saint-Maximin and Miguel Almiron are all injured does give them some excuse, but they were shit below average before they got injured. They deserve to get relegated.
So I guess it's clear where my prediction's going with this game. The pattern will be obvious - Brighton will totally dominate the ball, create plenty of chances and probably miss all of them. Newcastle will be shit below average and will create few chances if the way they've been playing this season has anything to go by.
I hope for football's sake that Brighton win and dump Newcastle closer to the Championship, but it rarely ends up like that. One thing I can say with some confidence though - it'll be 0-0 at half time.

Do you think Graham Potter will become the coach of a popular team 3-4 years later?

Good question - I'd have to say no, not unless he wins a trophy which I can't see happening at Brighton within that time frame. I like the style of football he's got his team playing but the top teams go for managers who have won trophies as either a player or manager.
What do you think?

I have been following him since he became popular in Sweden. I think its potential is quite high. He doesn't have many options in Brighton and he couldn't do exactly what he wanted.
Its quality is obvious and I think it doesn't need a trophy.
He could be the next coach for Spurs or Arsenal.
I increased the reward of my daily contest a little more. Would you like to participate ?

He'd be an interesting choice for either and they're the kind of teams that would benefit from a manager like him. I think there'll be another step in-between though (Celtic or Newcastle perhaps) - the expectations at Brighton probably suit him at the moment as he matures as a manager.
I certainly would - I don't know anything about Basketball or Bitcoin so I'm just throwing random numbers in each time 🙂
