Everton vs Newcastle: Preview and Prediction

Monday 23rd April 2018

England Premier League
Monday 23rd April 2018
Kick off at 8pm BST
Venue: Goodison Park

Match Preview:

Everton HQ seem to have created a faux pas by recently asking season ticket holders if they think manager Sam Allardyce is doing a good job? To make such requests so public makes little sense and there are now rumours that Allardyce may be out of the door at Everton in the summer. Fans were vocal after the club drew 1-1 at Swansea last weekend and the Toffee’s have been abysmal on the road this season. However at home Everton have won 75% of their total points and still have Leicester in their sights to finish the season in 8^th position.

Newcastle could leapfrog Everton with a win and Rafa Benitez’s side have been in brilliant form winning their last 4 games in a row. Their last away game was a vital 2-1 win over Leicester which ended two months of winless streaks on the road, however the Magpies have lost 50% of their games away from home.

Based on the last decade of matches played at Goodison there is a 100% success rate that the game will see over 2.5 goals

Everton vs Newcastle Prediction:

Everton have not won at home for two games and Newcastle have been highly impressive of late and should be able to cause Everton problems. We expect to see goals in this match from both sides and this should be an entertaining match given that both clubs are safe. The only word of caution would be with both teams safe from relegation, and neither team in the race for European qualification, such low incentive levels increase the element of the unexpected happening.
