Predictions & Betting Tips

Magpies may make a meal of Everton

Newcastle United come into the upcoming match of the Premier League 2024-2025 season sitting in third place with 66 points from 37 games, meaning they could finish in the Champions League places. The Newcastle United FC vs Everton prediction will be highly anticipated given their respective positions. Everton are a distant 13th with 45 points, clear of relegation but well short of European contention. Eddie Howe’s high-tempo, high-pressing style has propelled the Magpies in the Champions League race and it has been an entertaining ride for the Toon Army, who have been in the mix for most of the season. Everton, under David Moyes, have been a more pragmatic bunch, digging in deep and counter-attacking with quality. However, injuries at the back could lead to an open game if they are forced to adapt their gameplan.

Howe’s men have the firepower to outgun Moyes’ men

For this Newcastle United FC vs Everton preview, it’s important to note that the Toffees have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five games, including a superb 3-1 victory at Fulham, while Newcastle have two wins, a draw and two defeats from their last five games. The Merseyside club will not be desperate for victory here. However, his side have plenty of confidence after that win over Fulham and could make things tough for Newcastle, who have failed to beat Everton in their last home head-to-head this season.

Toon Army have an appetite for victory

Newcastle cannot afford to slip up, so this game has a must-win feeling to it at St. James’ Park. That could be a good thing for the home side as they like to play on the offensive and will push the pace, stretching Everton wide and in behind their defenders. Everton will park the bus and counter, but they could be caught out if they cannot get players back to cover the wide areas when they don’t get the ball. Iliman Ndiaye has scored nine league goals in 32 appearances for Everton this season and is very capable of the quick transition. Kieran Trippier has been a creative force for the hosts with three assists in their past five games, but the real difference could be Alexander Isak. The Sweden striker has been in superb form with 23 goals in 33 league games and three in his past five appearances. With Moyes’ side likely to sit deep, the Newcastle United FC vs Everton prediction suggests this could be his best chance to get on the scoresheet. Given Newcastle’s need to win, superior firepower and the odds, which are -270 for the favorites and +785 for the visitors, our Newcastle United FC vs Everton betting tips would be to chance the home team to win and over 2.5 goals as the main selection.
