Liverpool v Newcastle Betting Preview

The Reds are really putting together a strong finish to the season and breezed to a big 4-0 Merseyside derby against Everton in the week at Anfield. That will help keep momentum and morale high and now they will be eying up three points against the relegation-threatened Newcastle, a game which brings the return of Rafa Benitez to Anfield. Newcastle have fought their way to four points from their last two league games, but they need to find a way to keep building on that, however, their away form continues to read very poorly.

Liverpool v Newcastle Betting Tips

Interesting set up here. Liverpool may well make changes to their side in order to rest some players ahead of the UEFA Europa League semi final first leg next week. But they still need points to push on for a top six finish in the top flight. So they will have to try and balance things. They fielded an understrength side at Bournemouth last weekend and put a 2-1 win on the board. That says a lot about the confidence in the squad and they look on top of their game. They are on a three match winning streak in the top flight and have fired off ten goals in those three games. They have struck four times in each of their last two league games at Anfield, which doesn’t bode well for Newcastle. Daniel Sturridge is 5/6 in the anytime goalscorer market for the visit of Newcastle and he has scored six goals in eight Premier League matches against the Magpies.

The Reds also have Divock Origi, who, thanks to his goal against Everton in midweek, has netted five goals in his last five appearances for Liverpool. He can be backed at 11/8 to keep his scoring going, which is the same quote as Roberto Firmino as well. The Reds have netted in each of their last nine league games and have averaged just under three goals per game in that sequence with a total of 26 league goals. They did lose 2-0 at St James Park earlier in the season, but look on track to right that wrong. Liverpool have gone W3 D1 at home against Newcastle in the last four, but at this stage, because Newcastle have to come and press and Liverpool may be understrength, both teams to score is 4/6 while over 2.5 goals can be backed at a price of 3/5 with online betting site Boylesports. Liverpool have scored at least two goals in nine of their last ten home games against Newcastle in the top flight.

The return of Rafa Benitez to Anfield will take some headlines in this one, and he will bring his Magpies side who have earned four points from their last two games, with a win over Swansea and a point against Manchester City. However, those points came at home. Newcastle have taken just 24% of their total points this season out on the road. They still have a big game against Spurs to come on the final day of the season, which won’t be easy, so the threat of the drop is still realy. Newcastle fans will be worried about their team’s poor away record. They have lost their last nine away games in a row and have taken victories in just three of their last thirty games out on the road (W3 D3 L24). In their last 23 away games, Newcastle have only managed the 11 goals and they have had indiscipline problems at Anfield, with four players sent off in their last three trips there in the league. They have been battling much better, but their away form continues to blight them. Can they take anything away from Anfield?

Liverpool v Newcastle Predictions

The Reds have been going pretty well lately and even with a reshuffle they can get three points on the board, as they showed at Bournemouth last weekend. Both of these played in midweek, so neither is going to be fresher. You would have to side with the Reds here simply because Newcastle can’t get things right on the road and their defence is likely to slip up at some point. Shoot for both teams to score and a home win.
