Newcastle United are set to host Brighton & Hove Albion at the weekend.
Brighton are set to visit Newcastle this weekend, as domestic action returns after the international break.
And Bruno is expecting a tough test for his side, at a stadium which he has become familiar with during his time in English football.
“The atmosphere at St James’ Park feels different, it feels special,” he said. “As a player it’s nice to play there and I’m looking forward to Saturday.
“They’ll expect to take three points as they’re playing at home. We’ve been big rivals with Newcastle since the Championship, so they’ll especially want to take them against us.
“It’s always a tough place to visit because of the team’s quality and the atmosphere, but that atmosphere can also go against them if we manage to start the game well.”
Bruno is likely to start for Brighton in the contest, with Chris Hughton’s side looking to disappoint the home faithful.
Newcastle are under pressure to get their first three points of the season, after what has been a poor start.
Rafael Benitez’s side have struggled for results over the opening part of the campaign, and are already sat in the relegation zone.
Newcastle were beaten 3-2 by Manchester United at Old Trafford in their most recent outing, in what was a heartbreaking defeat.
Some reports have suggested that Benitez is now under pressure, and Newcastle will need a result to eradicate the question marks currently looming over their squad.
