Liverpool – Newcastle: betting on football

The 5th round of the championship of England will again please with a performance at Anfield. Recently, the local club won a crushing victory and will try to continue in a similar spirit. The enemy will grant a completely different level, but will it be possible to avoid trouble?

Liverpool

Liverpool are going through a difficult start, but in the 4th round they unexpectedly defeated the poor Bournemouth. By the 31st minute, Scott Parker’s wards conceded 4 goals, and in the remaining playing time the numbers only increased. Brazilian Roberto Firmino did an excellent job. His scoring instinct helped to score 2 goals, as well as complete the overall picture with 3 assist points. With Darwin Nunez returning, it was important to be reminded that he should not be written off and pushed into deep stock.

Newcastle

I confess that I did not expect to see such a good start from Newcastle. But this club never ceases to please. Having a comfortable schedule, they scored 6 points and are in the top ten. By the way, along with the “Brighton”, “Tottenham”, “Manchester City” and “Arsenal” are those who have not lost. Close to this were in the last game, where Alain Saint-Maximin helped to avoid defeat. The rivals turned out to be a difficult “Wolves”, who was super-motivated.

Head-to-head statistics

In December 2021, the team of Jurgen Klopp left no chance to the opponent, who was outplayed (3-1). In April, we also managed to win, but the result was much more modest (0-1).

Prediction for football Liverpool / Newcastle: total “under 2.5” (odds 2.57)

In the previous performance, Liverpool played superbly. But does this mean that they will be able to continue such a game? The answer is quite obvious – no. Now on the road is a more experienced and well-coordinated opponent, who is also in chic shape. I admit, of course, a victory and 3 points in the piggy bank, but in order to score more than 2 with a weak Salah? I highly doubt…
