Newcastle Utd vs Everton Live Stats & Betting Odds
Newcastle United Prediction – Can Newcastle bounce back again?
A familiar trend is taking shape where Newcastle United are concerned as The Magpies succumbed to a third defeat in their last four matches on the road on Boxing Day with a heavy 4-1 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
This loss followed previous away defeats at Aston Villa and Burnley, but at least Newcastle return to St James’ Park for this Saturday clash against Everton, where the hosts have a decent chance of bouncing back with a win.
Newcastle sit mid-table in the Premier League in 10th place and it’s been their solid form at home which has helped them into the relative comfort of their current league position, with a record of 4-4-1 10/7 which includes winning 3 of their last 4 at home with victories over Bournemouth, Southampton and Crystal Palace.
Indeed, Newcastle are unbeaten in their last 8 matches at home this season but with 4 of these matches ending in draws it maybe worth a look at the goals market – 5 of Newcastle’s 9 home matches have seen both teams score, and we need to take into account Everton’s recent revival too.
Everton Prediction – Can Everton continue revival?
A narrow 1-0 home win against Burnley extended Everton’s unbeaten run in the Premier League to four matches as The Toffees continued their rejuvenation under new manager, Carlo Ancelotti, who took over the reigns from caretaker-manager, Duncan Ferguson.
Ferguson’s role in the capacity of caretaker-manager shouldn’t be under-estimated as he instilled a renewed sense of belief and confidence into the Everton squad and they’ll now make the trip to St James’ Park in confident mood having registered a 3-1 win over Chelsea along with picking up points in draws with Manchester united and Arsenal.
Indeed under Ferguson, Everton picked up 5 points from the 9 on offer but more importantly, against some of the strongest sides in the top flight, but there’s still a lot of work ahead for Everton in terms of results away from home.
An away record of 1-2-6 9/18 suggests that backing Everton for the win here looks risky but with 6 of Everton’s 9 away matches also resulting in both teams scoring, this looks the safest option here.
Key-Facts – Newcastle Utd vs Everton
- 5 of Newcastle’s 9 home matches have seen both teams score
- 6 of Everton’s 9 away matches have also resulted in both teams scoring
- The last two meetings between these two sides have seen both teams score
Betting Tips Verdict
Both teams are in pretty good form right now and both should score as a result.
