Scoring Trends
Recent attacking records for Newcastle United and Everton are shown below.
Defensive Records
Recent defensive records for Newcastle United and Everton are shown below.
David Moyes masterminded a convincing 3-1 victory over the Magpies in midweek, extending Everton’s impressive recent record in this fixture. Newcastle remain one point ahead of their visitors in the Premier League, although their inconsistent performances and defensive vulnerability at home offer the Toffees encouragement.
With both sides looking to establish greater consistency, this quick rematch promises another demanding examination of Newcastle’s defensive organisation and Everton’s ability to translate promising performances into league victories.
Everton Have the Blueprint to Trouble Newcastle
Everton’s midweek cup victory provided a timely reminder of their attacking potential. James Garner, Hayden Hackney and Thierno Barry all scored as Moyes’ side established a commanding three-goal advantage before Dan Burn grabbed a late consolation.
That performance followed consecutive Premier League defeats against Chelsea and Arsenal, both by 2-0 scorelines, highlighting the contrast between Everton’s cup confidence and their recent league struggles.
The Toffees began their league campaign unbeaten in six matches but have since lost twice without scoring. Their away record also requires improvement, with three draws and one defeat from four Premier League trips.
However, those figures do not tell the entire story. Everton have remained competitive away from home, and their recent success against Newcastle should provide considerable encouragement.
They have won three of the last four meetings between the clubs, including their previous two visits to St James’ Park. That familiarity with winning on Tyneside could prove significant against opponents still searching for consistency.
Newcastle’s Home Vulnerability Remains a Concern
Newcastle’s 2-0 victory at Crystal Palace offered some relief following a difficult sequence of results, but their wider defensive record remains troubling.
Jaissle’s team have conceded 14 goals across eight Premier League matches, with only Chelsea among the division’s top-half sides having allowed more during that period.
Their home performances are particularly concerning. Newcastle have won just one of their opening four league fixtures at St James’ Park and have failed to keep a clean sheet in five home matches across all competitions.
A 2-2 draw against Bournemouth, narrow 2-1 victory over Hull City and 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa illustrate their difficulty controlling matches on familiar territory.
Opponents have repeatedly found opportunities to expose Newcastle’s defensive structure, while their midfield has sometimes struggled to provide sufficient protection.
Their inability to consistently retain possession further forward has also contributed to periods of sustained pressure, leaving defenders exposed when attacking moves break down.
Everton’s midfield combination of Garner and Hackney demonstrated its effectiveness during Thursday’s meeting, and Newcastle must respond with greater aggression and discipline if they are to reverse that result.
Team News Could Influence the Rematch
Newcastle face uncertainty over Will Osula after the forward twisted his ankle during the cup defeat. Lewis Miley and Matias Fernandez-Pardo are also doubtful, while Tino Livramento and Ewen Jaouen remain unavailable.
Yoane Wissa could replace Osula in attack, with Joelinton potentially returning to strengthen the midfield.
Everton have their own selection questions, particularly surrounding Jack Grealish following his disciplinary omission. Tyler Dibling could earn a league start, while Jarrad Branthwaite may return after concussion protocols.
Those decisions could influence how effectively Everton exploit Newcastle’s defensive weaknesses.
Newcastle vs Everton Prediction
Newcastle possess enough attacking quality to respond to Thursday’s disappointment, but their defensive uncertainty makes another difficult contest likely.
Everton have already demonstrated how to trouble Jaissle’s side, and their strong recent record on Tyneside strengthens their prospects.
With Newcastle struggling to control matches at home and Everton seeking their first away league victory, another open encounter looks possible. Both sides have reasons to believe they can score, although Everton’s recent superiority could give them the edge.
📊 Market Explainer
Handicap Market

Correct Score Market

🎯 Pick 1: Newcastle Asian Handicap -0.25
Newcastle United host Everton seeking to consolidate their slight Premier League advantage, making the Asian Handicap -0.25 an appropriate approach for a team demonstrating superior league form but undeniable structural flaws. Matthias Jaissle’s side sit one point ahead of their visitors and recently secured a 2-0 victory at Crystal Palace. Conversely, Everton’s league momentum has stalled dramatically. After an unbeaten six-match start, the Toffees have suffered consecutive 2-0 defeats against Chelsea and Arsenal, leaving them searching for their first away league victory following three draws and one defeat on the road.
That disparity in recent league stability makes the home side the logical focal point, but Newcastle’s inability to control matches at St James’ Park necessitates the partial insurance of the split handicap. The hosts have won just one of their four Premier League home fixtures. Their midfield frequently struggles to retain possession or provide sufficient defensive protection, leaving the backline exposed when attacking moves break down. Because of this vulnerability, a straight Match Result selection carries unnecessary volatility. The -0.25 line ensures a half-stakes refund if Everton’s midfield disrupts Newcastle enough to force a draw.
The primary counterpoint is Everton’s impressive recent history on Tyneside, including a 3-1 cup victory in midweek and wins in their last two league visits. However, Everton’s broader league struggles and consecutive blanks against Chelsea and Arsenal suggest their cup performance may be difficult to replicate. Newcastle possess the attacking quality to secure a narrow victory, and the Asian Handicap structure suitably guards against the hosts’ lingering home instability.
🎯 Tactical Indicators
- Newcastle sit one point ahead of Everton in the Premier League table.
- Everton have failed to win any of their four away league matches this season.
- Matthias Jaissle’s side secured a 2-0 victory at Crystal Palace in their last league outing.
Risk Factor: Everton have won three of the last four meetings, including a 3-1 cup victory in midweek, posing a threat despite Newcastle's home advantage.
Key Tactical Mismatch
Garner and Hackney demonstrated clear effectiveness in midweek, combining well against Jaissle's side.
Midfield struggles to protect the backline or retain possession, exposing defenders to sustained pressure.
⚔️ Pick 2: Newcastle vs Everton 2-1 @ 8/1
A 2-1 home victory aligns closely with both sides’ recent scoring profiles, balancing Newcastle’s attacking capacity with their established inability to keep opponents off the scoresheet. The hosts have demonstrated severe defensive vulnerability, conceding 14 goals across just eight Premier League matches. Only Chelsea have allowed more among top-half sides during that period. At St James’ Park, that fragility is pronounced; Newcastle have failed to keep a clean sheet in all five home matches across competitions, with both teams scoring in four of those fixtures.
Everton’s ability to contribute to this scoreline was proven in midweek when James Garner, Hayden Hackney and Thierno Barry all scored in a 3-1 cup win over Jaissle’s team. Newcastle’s midfield gaps and transition struggles provide a clear route for the visitors to find the net. However, translating that single cup performance into multiple away league goals is challenging for an Everton side that recently suffered consecutive 2-0 league defeats to Chelsea and Arsenal. The visitors have drawn three and lost one of their four away league trips, establishing a pattern of competitive but ultimately limited away performances.
To reach two goals, Newcastle must exploit an Everton defence that conceded twice in each of their last two league outings. The hosts found a way to score in recent home fixtures against Bournemouth, Hull City and Aston Villa, alongside a 2-0 away win at Crystal Palace. While Everton’s midweek success offers precedent for an away upset, Newcastle’s slight league superiority and home advantage make a narrow 2-1 victory a coherent reflection of the supplied defensive metrics.
Risk Factor: Newcastle's defensive fragility is evident, conceding 14 goals in eight league matches, increasing chances for Everton to score.
