Newcastle are riding high into this one after earning a draw vs. Man City that they could have won with a little luck. Everton is in fine recent form and has home-field advantage, but our soccer betting picks see the Magpies filling the Toffees’ net.
Fueled with confidence after their draw with title holders Man City, Newcastle look well-equipped to not leave Everton’s ground empty-handed.
Newcastle took advantage of City’s squad problems and European fatigue to win a point in a highly-contested encounter. A successful trip to Goodison Park vs. Everton will look to confirm the good moment Newcastle are going through.
See why I believe their offense will be humming in my Everton vs. Newcastle predictions and free betting picks for Saturday, October 5.
EPL predictions for Everton vs Newcastle
My best bet:
Newcastle 2+ goals (-114 at Betano)
My analysis
Everton stand 16th in the Premier League after six games, and the four points they’ve won this season only came in their last two matches.
This campaign is going to be a long and difficult ride for Sean Dyche and his men. Despite the turbulent times at the club and the limits imposed by their roster, Everton will not hold back from a fair game of football. And that’s exactly what Newcastle is set to get on Saturday afternoon.
Judging by what they’ve shown since the start of the season, Newcastle should be able to create chances quite easily, given that Everton is not the team to defend cynically.
The Magpies are fresh from a 1-1 draw against Man City, playing convincingly and having the champions under threat on multiple occasions. Newcastle had 11 shots, with four on goal and another four blocks from City.
Numbers suggest a solid offensive game from Eddie Howe’s players, who should keep the drive to harm their opponents when they visit Everton.
There have been Over 2.5 goals in six of Everton’s last seven matches. Newcastle will have chances, but the likes of Joelinton, Gordon, or Barnes will need to make them count.
Newcastle are aiming for Champions League access next season, so opponents like Everton shouldn’t be counted as slips if the objective is to be reached. At -114 via Betano, the return for Newcastle scoring at least twice at Everton looks solid.
Strikers Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson will be out for Newcastle, so Anthony Gordon will need to lead the attacking line against his former team. Gordon has an average of 1.2 shots on target so far this season, so adding him to the SGP rounds up the return nicely.
Newcastle only lost once this season, 3-1 at Craven Cottage against Fulham. The Magpies made a strong case for themselves since the Fulham defeat, though.
They shouldn’t let last week’s draw against City count for nothing as they look to add points to their bid to play Champions League football again next season.
