Betting on Newcastle United
Incredibly, Newcastle United continues to add draws to its tally, and after last week’s draw, the team has totaled 11 in the current season. Despite losing just once in 22 matches played (against Liverpool), the Magpies is in fourth place in the standings with 41 points, due to the large number of matches in which the team has only been able to take one point.
Eddie Howe’s side is 10 points behind the leaders, Manchester City and Arsenal, and only two points ahead of Tottenham, which is after Newcastle’s Champions League spot.
The hallmark of this campaign has been the team’s strong defensive performance, especially in a league as high-scoring as the Premier League. So far, the team has only conceded 13 goals, eight less than Arsenal, which is second in the division.
What’s more, Newcastle is unbeaten at home after having conceded just six goals while drawing five of its 11 home games.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Nick Pope; Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schär, Sven Botman, Dan Burn; Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, Joe Willock; Miguel Almiron, Alexander Isak, Allan Saint-Maximin.
Betting on Liverpool
Liverpool is a far cry from being as untouchable as in the previous campaign; thus, it is currently a long way off the European places. With just one win and one draw in its last five Premier League matches, the Reds sit ninth in the table with 32 points, seven behind Tottenham in the Conference League.
In addition to this rather complicated situation, Jurgen Klöpp’s team must travel to Newcastle after being eliminated from the FA Cup at the end of January, apart from hosting Real Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday.
In terms of its away games, the road has been a real nightmare for Liverpool this year, as the team is the sixth worst in the Premier League with eight points from 11 games. Additionally, it has lost four of its last five matches on the road, managing to score just 11 goals and concede 19, the seventh-highest number in the English league.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Joel Matip, Joe Gomez, Andrew Robertson; Jordan Henderson, Stefan Bajcetic, Fabinho; Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez.
JefeBet Prediction
Liverpool’s performance this season has left a lot to be desired overall, but Newcastle must not be happy at all to host them this Saturday. While Klöpp’s side must be thinking about its clash against Real Madrid, the Magpies has struggled for a win. What’s more, Newcastle has not tasted the sweet taste of victory in the last 12 games against Liverpool.
In that span, Liverpool has won eight games and drawn four, while Newcastle’s last win dates back to the 2015 season, when it won 2-0 at home.
Prediction: Tie (NEW 1 – LIV 1).
