Premier League
Newcastle v Everton betting tips
Newcastle and Everton have been plagued by defensive issues this season. It is perfectly encapsulated by their form in recent outings, roughly conceding twice the number of goals they have scored. In addition, BTTS has been a regularity in this period. The Magpies have seen goals from both sides in three of their last five fixtures, while the tally stands at four for the visitors. With five of their last six duels seeing similar conclusions, we expect both goalkeepers to pick the ball out of their nets in this Premier League encounter.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men are currently top of the Premier League table, although they lost for the first time in any competition this season last weekend, falling 2-0 away at Southampton.
It was the Toffees’ worst performance of the season so far by some distance, lacking any of the attacking verve which has earned so many admiring glances throughout 2020/21.
In Newcastle, they face an opponent yet to find any consistency but perfectly capable of grinding out valuable results when required.
Steve Bruce’s men pulled off a 1-1 draw away at Wolves in their last match, recovering quickly from their 4-1 defeat to Manchester United. After six games, the Magpies sit 14th in the table on eight points.
