Newcastle United vs Liverpool Match Preview
Liverpool’s recent record on Tyneside is not good (see stats above)…but surely they will find a way to win this time with the Premier League title on the line.
The Reds are in the midst of a humongous 12 days which will decide whether they end their 29-year wait to become English champions again – and also retain the chance of a potential magnificent double by conquering Europe as well.
This game has been slotted halfway in between the two legs of the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona, with the return match at Anfield on Tuesday (first-leg score not known at the time of writing).
One win in seven away to Newcastle does not bode well, but this is a different Liverpool who have kept the pressure on title rivals Manchester City with 10 straight wins in the two big competitions they are targeting – and that superb form should override the statistical omens.
Much has been speculated about the part ex-Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez could play in his former club’s title aspirations and just how difficult the Newcastle manager will make it for his current team to be broken down.
Newcastle have been in good form since the second half of January, but we do not envisage them stopping the Liverpool bandwagon and expect Jurgen Klopp’s side to prevail and put the ball back into Manchester City’s court for their home match against Leicester on Monday.
Newcastle vs Liverpool: Head-to-head
The Reds bagged six goals without any response in last two meetings with Newcastle United.
However, the Magpies have a positive head to head record in matches at St. James’ Park where they lead the tie by nine wins coming into 76th encounter with Liverpool.None of last nine head to head games between these two sides saw away teams snatching the spoils.
Newcastle vs Liverpool: Prediction
Rafael Benitez’s men will enter this clash without any kind of pressure and it could be very helpful for them against such rivals.
Even though the Reds are in a must-win situation here, it is really hard to see the value in backing the away win at the odds of 1.30 knowing none of past nine head to head encounters ended with such scenario.
