Newcastle vs. Liverpool Odds
Game Preview
Newcastle played to a 0-0 draw in Birmingham against Aston Villa, though we need to say, the Magpies had better chances and were closer to winning. This was their 7th consecutive game without a triumph, meaning that they haven’t won one since the start of the preseason.
Alexander Isak’s situation has disrupted Eddie Howe’s unit. Apart from Newcastle’s failure to score in the past two events, the chemistry and morale appear to be compromised.
Liverpool looked sloppy in some parts of the opening game, but on the other hand, when they woke up, the Reds were forceful. In the end, it was 4-2 for the champs against Bournemouth, and this event was the 7th straight with over 3.5 goals and both teams netting.
Nothing changed in Liverpool’s approach, as they constantly try to attack no matter the cost. The defense is vulnerable, but on the other hand, the attack is ferocious.
Newcastle vs. Liverpool Head to Head
Last year Newcastle beat Liverpool at Wembley in the EFL Cup finals, 2-1. EPL games saw a tie in Newcastle, 3-3, and L’Pool’s win at Anfield, 2-0.
By the way, Liverpool hasn’t lost an EPL fixture to Newcastle since 2016.
Newcastle vs. Liverpool Predictions
Without Isak, Newcastle is limited, and that’s a fact. They have to adapt to a whole different strategy, which takes time. Liverpool, on the other hand, has nothing to adapt to because they already have a system, which is why we pick the guests to win.
