Premier League preview: Everton vs Newcastle

Everton have lost five of their last seven matches, and Newcastle United will look to take advantage of that at Goodison Park. With 23/20 odds for Newcastle to win outright, 77% of punters are backing them to continue their strong form.

While these odds are enticing, Everton’s unpredictable performances can sometimes surprise, making this bet slightly riskier than it seems.

Newcastle’s attack will be led by the likes of Harvey Barnes, who has the potential to be a game-changer.

Odds of 5/2 for Barnes to score reflect the belief in his attacking threat, especially with Everton’s defensive inconsistencies this season. If Barnes can find space, this might be one of the more rewarding markets.

For those looking at the overall game dynamics, the 8/13 odds for Over 2.5 Goals suggest that the game could see a flurry of goals, although only 27% of punters have backed this market.

Given both teams’ defensive frailties, there’s potential for goals, but some bettors may feel that these odds don’t offer significant value.

Another option to consider is Jesper Lindstrøm’s Over 0.5 shots on target, available at 6/5.

While not widely backed yet, Lindstrøm could be a key figure in Newcastle’s attempts to break down Everton’s defense, and his involvement might be more significant than expected.
