Newcastle vs Everton prediction and betting tips on April 02, 2024
One of the matches of the 31st round of the English Premier League will take place on Tuesday late evening at St. James' Park, where the local Newcastle will host Everton. Will the hosts manage to clinch a victory in this encounter? Here's the prediction from the experts at Dailysports.
Newcastle
The "Magpies" lost crucial points early in the season when they participated in the group stage of the Champions League alongside the Premier League. Newcastle lacked the strength to perform on multiple fronts simultaneously. Only after their exit from European competitions did their results improve, but talk of contending for European positions has understandably ceased. Currently, the "Magpies" sit in 8th place in the league table, trailing the top five by 13 points.
In the previous Saturday's round, Newcastle hosted London's West Ham and secured a spirited 4-3 victory. Trailing 1-3 by the 48th minute, the "Magpies" managed to turn the tide and score three times after the 77th minute. This win marked only their second victory in the last five matches, during which the "Black and Whites" lost as many matches. However, it's worth noting that Newcastle suffered defeats to Arsenal and Chelsea.
Everton
The "Toffees" are enduring a challenging season, which includes underwhelming performances in the league and disciplinary sanctions. Initially deducted 10 points, Everton later had four points reinstated. This helped the Liverpool-based team climb out of the bottom of the league table. Currently, Everton occupies the 16th position, with 25 points to their name.
In the last round, Everton played an away match against Bournemouth, where they were defeated 1-2. Conceding in the middle of the second half, the "Toffees" managed to equalize three minutes before the end of the match. However, they couldn't withstand the opponent's pressure and conceded a disappointing second goal in the first minute of added time, with Coleman scoring an own goal. As a result, Everton hasn't won in the Premier League in 12 matches.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head History

Newcastle vs Everton Prediction
Everton appears quite vulnerable at the moment and seems destined to fight for survival until the last matchday. Newcastle may comfortably play out the remainder of the season, but it's unlikely they'll play lackadaisically at home. Our bet is on "Newcastle to Win" with odds of 2.01.
