Before Betting On Everton vs Newcastle

Everton will return to Premier League action on Thursday when they look for a huge three points in their battle to avoid relegation. The Toffees currently sit in the bottom three, but they could move up to 16th with a success against the Magpies this week. However, wins have been hard to come by for Sean Dyche’s team in recent weeks, as they have gone five without a victory.

Over that period, they have lost twice. However, the Toffees have an excellent record in matches played on a Thursday, as they are unbeaten in their previous eight since a defeat against Hull City. But, their record in midweek fixtures this season has been incredibly weak, as they have lost their previous three. Over that period, they have allowed nine goals and scored just once.

At the opposite end of the standings, things look much brighter for Newcastle. The Magpies appear set to finish in a Champions League spot for the first time in 20 years, and they come into this match on the road after winning five of their last six. They responded to their setback against Aston Villa in excellent fashion, with a 6-1 home win over Tottenham Hotspur last weekend.

However, the Magpies don’t have the best record away from home against Everton, as they have landed just a single win in their previous ten visits to Goodison Park. But, they have won four of their last five matches against the Toffees in the Premier League.

This will be a massive game at Goodison Park for Everton. However, they have struggled at both ends of the field in recent weeks, and didn’t look like scoring in Saturday’s 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace. For that reason, we will be siding with the away side landing the maximum points.
