Liverpool V Newcastle Predictions & Betting Odds

Liverpool v Newcastle Betting Tips – Premier League 3rd March 5.30pm

Liverpool are really pushing along well for a top-four finish now and made it back to back league wins last weekend as they crushed West Ham at Anfield. They will expect to go out and do a similar job on Newcastle as well this weekend. The Magpies managed to dig out an away point at Bournemouth last weekend, but it may be harder for them to do at Anfield.

Liverpool News and Form

Liverpool have been a strong force on home soil as they have gone W8 D6 L0 for the term at Anfield. There was an easy 4-1 victory there for them over West Ham last weekend and in three of their last five games at Anfield in the top flight, Liverpool have struck at least four goals. Liverpool have averaged almost three goals per game at Anfield and will be expected to net a few here. In the bet365 correct score market a Liverpool 2-0 is the shortest-priced option at 7/1 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 11:19 p.m. on February 26th, 2018). Liverpool have conceded only the ten home goals at home as well this season but they haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last four. 68% of their goals scored at home have been in the second half of matches and 70% of their goals conceded at Anfield have been after the break as well. Liverpool have scored first in 71% of their games this season and a Liverpool/Liverpool half-time/full-time bet is at 4/6 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 11:19 p.m. on February 26th, 2018). Mo Salah took his tally to 23 league goals with a strike against West Ham last weekend and a dozen of those have been at Anfield.

Newcastle News and Form

The Magpies are scrapping for all their worth at the moment having only suffered one defeat in their last eight games, and the defeat in that sequence was out at Man City. Newcastle picked up a point in a 2-2 draw at Bournemouth last weekend thanks to a brace from Dwight Gayle, but they did blow a 2-0 lead in the game which could be costly down the line. Newcastle haven’t managed a clean sheet in any of their last three on the road and their defence will be put to a severe test by the powerful Liverpool attack. Newcastle have conceded an average of 1.6 goals per game this season and have earned a clean sheet in just 14% of their road games. They are actually on a seven-match scoring streak of form in the league and both team to score at bet365 is at 19/20 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 11:19 p.m. on February 26th, 2018). Despite the points that they have been picking up they go into the weekend just two points above the drop zone.

Liverpool v Newcastle Head to Head

Liverpool were frustrated with a 1-1 draw at St James’ Park earlier in the season and that’s back to back league draws against the Magpies now for them. Things are even in the last seven top-flight contests with two wins each and three drawn matches. Liverpool have won two of their last three Premier League home games against the Magpies (D1) and have lost just one Premier League home game ever against them, which was the very first one in 1994.
