Everton vs Newcastle United prediction, H2H and probable lineups — 29 November 2025
As part of Matchday 13 in the English Premier League, Everton will take on Newcastle United. The clash is set for Liverpool on Saturday, 29 November, with kick-off scheduled for 18:30 Central European Time. I'm backing a bet on goals in this encounter.
Match preview
Everton's season has been a rollercoaster, but the team looks more balanced compared to previous campaigns. With David Moyes at the helm, the Toffees have stabilized their play and are gradually reclaiming their status as a solid mid-table side.
Their home form stands out: on their new ground, the team plays with more aggression and creates significantly more chances. Notably, since moving from Goodison Park, Everton have lost just one match at Hill Dickinson.
However, defensive issues still linger. Occasional lapses at set pieces and errors when playing out from the back have led to unnecessary goals conceded. Despite this, Everton's attack has become more versatile: they use the flanks better and involve full-backs in forward moves more often.
Their last game against Manchester United will be long remembered by the Liverpool faithful. Idrissa Gueye got into a spat with Michael Keane as early as the 13th minute, striking his teammate and earning a red card. Remarkably, despite playing almost the entire match a man down, Everton not only avoided defeat but took all three points from Old Trafford.
Newcastle continue to build a project aimed at consistent European qualification and regular top-six challenges. The start of the new season was rough, but Eddie Howe's men have been showing a high level of performance in recent matches.
The team plays powerful attacking football, keeping their core intact and making targeted reinforcements. Thanks to squad depth, the coaching staff can rotate players actively, allowing the Magpies to maintain a high tempo in every match.
That said, their away form has been poor: Newcastle often drop points against weaker opposition on the road. The Magpies do find the net in almost every away outing, but their defensive work leaves plenty of questions.
Midweek, Newcastle struggled in the Champions League. Barnes opened the scoring early against Marseille, but Aubameyang's brace early in the second half turned the match on its head. The English side suffered defeat but remain a respectable 11th in the overall standings.
Match facts
- Everton are unbeaten in three straight matches.

H2H

- Everton have beaten Newcastle at home only twice in the past seven years.
Prediction
The playing style, current form, and football model of both teams point to a high-tempo match with plenty of chances. Everton are strong at home, so the Magpies may struggle to break down the hosts' defense, but Newcastle's attacking potential is considerable. Expect an exciting contest—my bet is on the total goals over 2.
