Liverpool v Newcastle Betting Tips [16 March 2025]

Liverpool and Newcastle United will be fighting for the chance to win the first piece of silverware in the season. These two Premier League sides meet in the League Cup final this Sunday and we have a prediction for the match.

Separated by 23 points in the league, the two sides put aside their league focus this weekend. Liverpool, quadruple ambitions have been slashed to just two and they are going into this one as outright favorites.

The Reds are smarting from their grueling Champions League exit in midweek at the hands of PSG. They will be hoping for an easier outing and a 17-game unbeaten run against Newcastle favors them.

Newcastle United are looking to end a trophy drought that is heading to about seven decades! The Magpies are at the League Cup final for the second time in three seasons.

In 2023, they fell to Manchester United and will hope to avoid a similar misfortune against ten current holders. Five defeats at domestic cup finals is already a run too painful for the Toon and the brief will be well sent from the fans.

However, their record against Liverpool makes for a grim reading and history may just be unforgiving, once again. Newcastle have lost three times in their last five matches and one of those was against Liverpool.

Newcastle United are keen on ending a lengthy trophy drought but their run against Liverpool is a stumbling block. The Magpies haven't beaten Liverpool in the last 16 meetings and this could be limiting psychologically. In their earlier two meetings this season, a whopping eight goals were scored with Liverpool claiming four points.

Though this is a final match, we expect such big scores, given the stakes. Our prediction for the Liverpool v Newcastle United match is for Liverpool to win and over 2.5 goals.
