Premier League Betting Tips - Everton vs Newcastle Preview
It is safe to assume that the Everton vs Newcastle matchup is an important relegation Premier League game. The story of the season has been Newcastle, but not because of their excellent results. Quite the opposite, after the buyout, the Magpies became one of the richest clubs in the world and yet they are one of the worst in England at the current moment.
Everton’s season started taking a turn for the worse and they are not eight points away from the relegation zone. A season riddled with injuries and bad luck could be saved by them managing to stay up. The game against the Geordies might give them the necessary boost they need.

Everton vs Newcastle Recent Form
Neither Everton nor Newcastle can’t be happy with their form. Everton managed only a single win in their last 10 games. On the other hand, Newcastle has only a single victory the whole season.
Everton managed to surprise Arsenal and won against the Gunners at Goodison Park by 2:1. The Toffees were behind at the end of the first half but managed to score two late goals in the last ten minutes of the match to grab three points. They managed to surprise Chelsea most recently as they played 1:1 against the Blues. Jarrad Branthwaite was the game’s unsung hero as he scored the deciding equaliser for Rafa Benitez’s men.
After getting their first win of the season against Burnley (1:0), the Magpies lost three in a row. However, they were able to get a point in their last game against the wavering Manchester United team. Allan Saint-Maximin got the Geordies up and running in the 7th minute of the game. But thanks to the heroics of Edinson Cavani, who came off the bench, the Red Devils managed to get a valuable point.
Eddie Howe’s men are still in the relegation zone but are only two points away from safety at the moment.
Everton vs Newcastle Recent Matchups
Everton has the upper hand when it comes to all-time matches versus Newcastle. The Toffees won 74 out of 178 matchups against the Magpies. But Newcastle got 68 wins of their own. The rest of the games, 36 in total, ended with a draw.
Quite surprisingly, Everton lost both games against Newcastle last season. The Geordies won at home by 2:1 and at Goodison Park by 2:0, with Callum Wilson scoring a brace in both games.
But Everton has five wins if we count only the last 10 matchups. The Geordies won three while two games went to a draw. But Everton hasn’t won versus Newcastle in their last three games, with their most recent win coming in December 2019 away by 2:1, thanks to a Dominic Calvert-Lewin two-goal scoring effort.
Everton vs Newcastle Stats & Analysis
Everton has had lots of injury problems this season. The biggest one was with their best player and top goalscorer Dominic Calvert-Lewin. The English international made only three caps this season but managed to score three goals. Even now, their front line is devastated as forwards Salomón Rondón and Richarlison, midfielder Andros Townsend, and winger Demarai Gray are all out injured.
All the injury woes caused the Toffees to drop to 15th place of the league with 19 points and only eight away from the relegation line. Demarai Gray is their leading goalscorer with five, while three other players have three goals apiece.
Newcastle is tied on points with Burnley but have a much worse goal difference. In fact, the Magpies host the league’s worst defence with 42 goals allowed. They have been conceding three goals a game during their last four games, while they only scored two goals in total during the same period.
Callum Wilson (6 goals) and Allan Saint-Maximin (4 goals) are the only two players of note in the black and white Newcastle shirt. Their medical staff will only be concerned about the situation with Federico Fernández and Jamal Lewis who will be out for this match.
Everton vs Newcastle Betting Tips
Everton is the favourite to win, but their recent record and injury concerns do not make them firm favourites. That is why we propose betting on the Magpies for a straight win. At 5.25 they surely deserve a try as they need to get out of the relegation zone fast.
Callum Wilson might be the decider once again. It seems that he has a thing for Everton’s goalkeepers and Jordan Pickford might already be having nightmare dreams about him.
