Newcastle vs Everton Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips

Newcastle United are clear favourites for this game as they look to secure their place in next season's UEFA Champions League, although Everton cannot be overlooked given their recent form heading into this game.

The Magpies have been excellent on home soil this season, losing only four of their matches at St.James' Park, winning 12, accumulating 38 points from 54 available. Newcastle United are on an excellent run of form at home in the Premier League, with six consecutive victories and three clean sheets, scoring at least twice in those three matches.

Everton are unbeaten in their previous three matches, following two victories and a draw. However, the Toffees have been prone to conceding in recent weeks, with only one clean sheet in their previous five league matches, and that was against a relegated Southampton side.

Newcastle's record against Everton at St.James' Park is relatively strong, with three wins from the last four meetings between the two teams, which leads us to predict a 2-0 victory for the Magpies to secure Champions League football for next season.

Newcastle United 2-0 Everton

Newcastle United are on the verge of UEFA Champions League qualification, as they host an Everton side who have said their farewell to Goodison Park.

Date: 25/05/2025

Location: St. James ' Park, Newcastle.

Kick-Off: 4 pm

For Eddie Howe's side, a place in next season's UEFA Champions League will be a welcome bonus in what has already been a history-making season for the Magpies. Their Carabao Cup triumph in March had already secured European football for the Tyneside club, and heading into the season's final game, Newcastle United are in a favourable position to qualify for the Champions League for next season.

The Magpies are in third place in the Premier League (this could change if Manchester City beat Bournemouth in midweek) and will secure their place in the elite European competition with a victory against Everton at the weekend. Newcastle United have accumulated 66 points this season, level on points with Aston Villa and Chelsea and a point ahead of Nottingham Forest & Manchester City, with City yet to play their game in hand. The home side for this game has a superior goal difference ahead of those around them, but will want to get the job done in front of their home fans to cap off an excellent season for Eddie Howe's side.

Everton said goodbye to Goodison Park at the weekend, with the club set to move away from the historic ground for the first time in the club's history and into the Hill Dickinson Stadium for next season. The Toffees have made sure that they will enter their new ground with their Premier League status intact and moved into a mid-table position, after being threatened with a potential relegation under Sean Dyche. David Moyes' return has guided the Toffees to a 13th-place finish as it stands, having accumulated 45 points from 37 matches in the Premier League.

The game is not available on TV. However, scheduling is yet to be finalised for the final day of the season.
