Liverpool vs Newcastle United Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips

Liverpool will enter their home match with Newcastle United full of confidence following their emphatic 2-0 win over Manchester City at the weekend.

The Magpies have not beaten Liverpool at Anfield since 1995 when they scraped a narrow 1-0 victory in the League Cup, while their last Premier League win on the red half of Merseyside was back in April 1994.

Arne Slot’s side have the best home record in the Premier League, having accumulated 29 points from 12 matches at Anfield, scoring 26 and conceding just 10, while Newcastle have been inconsistent away from St. James’ Park, having amassed 21 points from 13 games, scoring 22 and conceding 19.

With both sides being a goal threat, we believe that the Both Teams to Score market will come off as it has in six of the last eight head-to-head clashes between these two sides.

Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Newcastle

Premier League leaders Liverpool hosts fifth-place Newcastle United in a crucial encounter on Wednesday night, as the Reds look to close in on a record-equalling 20th league title, while the Magpies are aiming to qualify for the Champions League for what would be a second time in three seasons.

Location: Anfield

When these two sides last met back in early December, the match resulted in a 3-3 draw, as Fabian Schar scored a 90th-minute equaliser after Liverpool went into a 3-2 lead thanks to goals from Curtis Jones and Mohamed Salah (2).

The Reds are having a season to remember, as they are 11 points clear of Arsenal with just 11 matches to go, having won 19, drawn seven and suffered just one defeat, seeing them earn 64 points while scoring a staggering 64 goals.

Arne Slot’s men will actually face Newcastle United in the final of the League Cup having dismantled Tottenham 4-1 in the semi-finals after progressing past West Ham United (5-1), Brighton (3-1) and Southampton (2-1).

On top of this, Liverpool topped the Champions League Group Stage with seven wins from eight and have since been drawn to play PSG in the competition’s Round of 16. The only blot on their copybook this season was their shock 1-0 loss away at Plymouth Argyle in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup.

On the other hand, this season has been a progressive one for Newcastle, as they look set to improve on last season’s seventh-place finish. A bright spark for them has been Swedish striker Alexander Isak, who has fired in an impressive 19 goals from 24 league matches, only bettered by Mohamed Salah’s 25 in 27.

Eddie Howe’s men have a lot to play for this season, as they are still in both domestic cup competitions, having made it to the final of the League Cup after their impressive 4-0 aggregate victory over Arsenal in the semi-final, while in the FA Cup, they will host Brighton & Hove Albion in the Fifth Round following wins against Bromley (3-1) and Birmingham City (3-2).

Newcastle have won three of their last four matches since suffering a shock 2-1 home loss to Fulham on 1st February.

Last time out, Newcastle managed to emerge victorious over Nottingham Forest in a seven-goal thriller as strikes from Lewis Miley, Jacob Murphy and Alexander Isak (2) game them a 4-3 win.
