Newcastle vs Liverpool Prediction

Newcastle Form

Newcastle have seen it all in their last three matches, which added four points to their account. They first shared the points in a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest, before claiming 3 points in a 3-1 win against West Ham. Unfortunately for them, this was followed by a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Fulham. Newcastle won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Premier League, while also drawing zero. They suffered three defeats, while they scored 12 and conceded ten goals.

Liverpool Form

Liverpool have been a tad mediocre in their last three matches where a win has failed to come their way. Against Chelsea, they gained a 1-1 draw, before coming up short against Aston Villa, who ran out 4-2 winners. Lately, they finished even in a 1-1 draw with Brentford. Liverpool claimed two wins against zero draws and four defeats in their last six away matches in the Premier League. The scoreline from these matches reads 12 goals conceded and nine scored.

Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, and we fully expect the trend to continue, when Newcastle renew Liverpool their acquaintance.
