Newcastle v Burnley Betting Tips

Newcastle can go out and land a win which could get them the league title. They could get it with a draw if leaders Brighton lose at Aston Villa. The Magpies have an easier last game than Brighton do and Newcastle have won their last two matches to put themselves in with a shot of stealing the title from the Seagulls. Newcastle have gone W14 D3 L5 on home soil in the Championship this season and earlier in the campaign, they collected a 2-0 win out at Barnsley. A 2-0 Newcastle correct score at bet365 in this one fetches a price of 13/2. Newcastle are on a four-match unbeaten streak at St James Park in the league (W3 D1) and will be expected to win this one. The Magpies are a price of 11/10 at bet365 to win to nil and the game to go under 2.5 goals is a decent price of 7/4. The Magpies also have winning form against Barnsley at home, winning their last four in a row there against them, scoring 13 goals.

You have an option of both teams to score at 5/6 to oppose Newcastle earning a clean sheet. Barnsley have scored exactly one goal in three of their last four visits to Newcastle. Barnsley aren’t too likely to sneak into the top half of the table even with a win in this one and winning isn’t something they have done much of recently. They have taken one win in their last thirteen league games now which was out at Blackburn in early April. They have gone D2 L2 since then. They have lost five of their last six away games as well in the Championship (W1) and their overall away record this term is W9 D2 L11. In the bet365 anytime goalscorer market, Newcastle’s Dwight Gayle is up at 1/2 favourite with Aleksandar Mitrovic, Daryl Murphy and Ayoze Perez all at even money. That’s some scoring power that Barnsley aren’t likely going to handle at the end of the day.

Newcastle Home Win: This should be easy picking for Newcastle who won’t be feeling the pressure Brighton will be under at Aston Villa. Easy win for Newcastle, worth a flutter on both teams to score though.
