West Bromwich Albion - Newcastle United betting tips and odds

Though the match can honestly go either way, West Bromwich Albion will be at a bit of a disadvantage. Their victory is priced at 2.60 despite the home-field advantage, so they’ll need to bring their A-game.

Newcastle United are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 2.88 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

The Baggies displayed excellent form the last time we saw them at The Hawthorns. The top online bookmakers agreed that they didn’t stand much chance against Brighton & Hove Albion , but they took the lead in the first half and ended the game with a 1:0 home win.

Newcastle’s previous outing at their home stadium ended inconclusively. However, they kicked off as clear underdogs compared to Wolverhampton Wanderers, who were the away team. With that in mind, the 1:1 score at the end is not that disappointing.

The Baggies’s previous two matches were quite uneventful, all things considered. They both featured only one goal – or no goals at all.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Premier League engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

The current season is entering its later stages, and The Baggies are on their way to relegation unless they make drastic changes. They have a shot at walking away with 3 points this Saturday, so the pressure is high.

Though Newcastle are not exactly on their way to relegation, they’re still too close for comfort. With just 3 points between them and the relegation zone, they’ll need to work hard to stay on the right track.

Though the odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, the head-to-head history for this Premier League clash tells a different story. The Baggies lost the last time these two teams met on the pitch, so an upset is definitely possible.

We recommend keeping it safe with a Double Chance for Away or Draw. There are minor risks involved, mind you, but the 1.57 odds are enough to make the bet worth taking.
