Newcastle vs Liverpool Football Preview
Newcastle sit in fourth place ahead of this weekend’s game, two points clear of Tottenham in fifth and five points adrift of Manchester United in third. Eddie Howe’s side are unbeaten in the league since the reverse of this fixture in August, but they lost their momentum somewhat, drawing five of their previous six.
Liverpool are struggling to string together a consistent run of performances. Their 2-0 win in the Merseyside derby ended a four-match winless run, with Jurgen Klopp’s side now nine points off the top four.
Newcastle will be confident as they prepare to host Liverpool – they are undefeated at St. James’ Park this campaign. You also have to question Liverpool’s form on the road this season. Only five teams have accumulated fewer points away from home than the Reds, who head east having lost three away games on the bounce.
Klopp’s side do have a strong record in this fixture. They have won eight of their previous 12 meetings against Newcastle, with their last defeat coming in 2015. Despite their impressive history against the Magpies, Liverpool will make the trip as slight underdogs in an evenly matched contest.
Newcastle vs Liverpool Football Odds
The hosts are slim favourites at 2.42, with Liverpool at 2.71 and a draw priced at 3.47. However, you will find these odds enhanced come 10am on Saturday thanks to BetPlus. Both teams to score is heavily backed at 1.59, with either team to keep a clean sheet at 2.26.
The favourites to open the scoring are Newcastle’s Callum Wilson (5.50) and Alexander Isak (6.00), with Mo Salah (6.40) and Darwin Nunez (6.80) most likely to break the deadlock for Liverpool.
Premier League Betting Tips
Draw – 3.47
Newcastle have struggled to get over the line in recent weeks. They are drawing a lot of games and would probably be happy to take a point against Liverpool. Given Klopp’s side are hardly in scintillating form themselves, a point on the road at St. James’ Park is not a bad result.
Under 2.5 goals – 2.05
The Magpies have conceded just six goals at home in 11 league matches, and we expect Howe will be taking a defence-first approach once more on Saturday evening. When you also factor in Liverpool’s misfiring attack, under 2.5 goals looks a solid option. A 1-1 scoreline will be fancied by a few, but this selection covers your bases if either side escapes with a narrow 1-0 win or if it’s a bore 0-0 draw.
