Newcastle v Everton Betting Tips [8 February 2022]

Two relegation threatened teams face off when Newcastle host Everton at St James’ park for matchday 24 of the Premier League. Both teams have a lot to play for in a match that could have a significant impact come the end of the season. The hosts currently sit 19th but can move out of the drop zone with a win, while the visitors will be looking to increase their four point lead over 18th place. Newcastle will be encouraged by their recent form as the Magpies have taken five points from their last three league matches - their best run of the season so far. Everton also have reasons to feel optimistic after the Toffees responded brilliantly to their first match under new manager Frank Lampard with a 4-1 win over Brentford in the FA Cup to advance to the fifth round. Both teams come into this match off the back of a win as Newcastle’s most recent result was a 1-0 away win against Leeds.

Despite Everton only taking one point from their last five Premier League matches, they come into this match with a good chance of turning around their losing skid. The oddsmakers have priced this one extremely close, giving the slight edge to Newcastle. However, we’ve seen so often in the past how a change of manager can often spur a team on to a string of good results in the subsequent matches. Everton looked the much better side against Brentford in their last match, creating four clear cut chances on 14 shots while only allowing Brentford two shots on target. Lampard seems to have had an immediate impact on this team and the players should be in high spirits for what is an important match for both sides.
