Newcastle United - Liverpool betting tips and odds

Newcastle United are definitely more likely to win, though all three possible results are quite reasonable to expect. This makes it hard to make reliable betting predictions when this match is concerned, though we may find some betting value.

The visiting team knows that beating The Magpies on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

An expected stalemate was all The Magpies were able to take away from their trip to AFC Bournemouth in the last round of the Premier League. They struggled to break through in the first half and ended up settling for a point against all odds.

Liverpool gave the fans at their home stadium quite a show in their previous game against Everton, snagging a decisive 2:0 victory. The victory itself was somewhat predictable, but the first-half lead and notable lead speaks volumes about their form.

Whether they’re playing home or away, Newcastle games are rarely as exciting as fans might want them to be. Thheir previous five outings all had less than 3 goals at the 90-minute mark.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

Newcastle are just 10 points behind the table leaders, but getting 3 points from Liverpool won’t be easy. Either way, they’ll have to work hard to maintain the success they’ve recorded so far.

Although the 2.55 betting odds for a home win show that Newcastle are the favourites, their track record against Liverpool this season is not great. They lost an earlier bout, though it was a rather narrow defeat.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Emil Krafth, Javi Manquillo, Matt Targett for the hosts, and Virgil van Dijk, Thiago Alcântara, Roberto Firmino, Arthur for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 2.05. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
