Newcastle v Liverpool Betting Preview – Premier League 1st October 4.30pm

This should be an entertaining fixture from Tyneside on Sunday evening. Newcastle are unbeaten in their last three on home soil and they have won their last two Premier League fixtures there. Liverpool have now won just one of their last six games across all competitions and either it is their defence letting them down or they can’t convert enough of the many chances that they create for themselves in a match. This should be an entertaining battle between the two to round off the Premier League weekend.

Newcastle v Liverpool Betting Tips

Newcastle are carrying a little home from going in to this high profile clash with Liverpool on Sunday. They are unbeaten in their last three top flight home fixtures against the Reds so that is a confidence-booster for them and they have won their last two games there this season as well in the Premier league, having taken back to back wins over West Ham and Stoke. So some nice momentum in the northeast, but they suffered a tough loss down at Brighton last weekend so will want to respond to that. Former Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez will get a shot against his form club and with this expected to be an open, end to end game, over 2.5 goals at Bet365 returns a price of 4/6. Newcastle have done alright at the back this season as Spurs are the only side to have managed to score more than one goal against them in a league game this season.

Newcastle have two clean sheets in three of their league wins. Both teams to score at bet356 returns a price of 8/11 though and this should be that open. Newcastle have a W4 D1 L1 record in their last six Premier League home against Liverpool so it does all read pretty well for then as they head into this fixture. Dwight Gayle is a 7/4 anytime goalscorer option for them going into this game with Joselu at 15/8. Since meeting Spurs on the opening weekend of the new season, this will be the toughest test that the Magpies have faced since then. Newcastle have not been behind at the break in any of their six Premier League games this season so with that in mind and Liverpool as favourites, a Draw/Liverpool half time/full time bet at bet365 returns a price of 7/2.

Things haven’t gone too well for Liverpool this season as they are five points back of the Premier League leaders going into the weekend, but they have only managed back to back draws in the Champions League and have crashed out of the League Cup. In their three away games in the Premier League this season, they have conceded an average of three goals per game which is a huge concern. They opened with a 3-3 draw at Watford, were hammered 5-0 at the Etihad by Man City and then were pushed in a 3-2 victory at Leicester last time out. Along with their defence giving away sloppy goals, their powerfully quick attack has been extremely wasteful with chances lately. They do have Sadio Mane back for them and he is a joint 5/4 first goalscorer favourite at bet365 alongside Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah for the Reds.

Newcastle v Liverpool Predictions

Liverpool to win: The Reds have struggled for returns on Tyneside in recent visits, but they are not far away from putting everything together and landing a good solid away win that could push them onto better things. Expect at least a goal at both ends but Liverpool can nab the away win.
