Everton will aim to build on their first Premier League win of the season as they host Newcastle United at Goodison Park on Saturday, seeking to maintain momentum against a challenging opponent.

Bet 1: Match to End in a Draw
Given the recent performances of both sides, backing a draw appears to be a wise choice. Everton have struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last five games and conceding an average of 2.5 goals per match. Their backline has been leaky, allowing opponents ample opportunities to score. Newcastle aren’t faring much better; they haven’t kept a clean sheet in six consecutive matches, and their most recent away game ended in a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Fulham.
The head-to-head record between these teams is remarkably balanced. In their last five meetings, each has secured two wins and there has been one draw. Everton might take solace in having won two of the last three encounters at Goodison Park, but given their inconsistent form this season, it’s hard to predict a clear winner.
Both teams possess attacking players capable of changing the game—Dwight McNeil for Everton and Anthony Gordon for Newcastle—which suggests goals could come from either side. As our BettingTips4You.com expert, Gram Dodd, aptly puts it: “With both teams showing defensive weaknesses and boasting attacking talent, a draw seems the most logical outcome. Neither side has demonstrated the consistency or solidity to dominate this fixture.”

Bet 2: Dwight McNeil to Score Anytime
Placing a bet on Dwight McNeil to find the net could be a savvy move. McNeil has been a standout performer for Everton recently, scoring twice in their victory over Crystal Palace. He’s becoming an integral part of Everton’s attacking play, having notched up four goals already this season. Interestingly, McNeil has scored in two of the last three matches against Newcastle, indicating that he enjoys facing the Magpies.
Over his last two games, McNeil has increased his offensive output, registering seven shots. With Newcastle’s defence struggling—they haven’t kept a clean sheet in six games—McNeil will likely have opportunities to test the goalkeeper. His long-standing relationship with Sean Dyche, spanning six years across Burnley and Everton, means he fully understands the manager’s tactics and expectations. Considering his form and history against Newcastle, backing McNeil to score anytime offers good value.
Bet 3: Under 2.5 Goals in the Match
Expecting fewer than 2.5 goals in this match could be a smart move. Despite both teams having defensive vulnerabilities, their recent encounters haven’t always been high-scoring affairs. Everton average just 1.2 goals per game, and Newcastle aren’t far ahead with 1.3 goals per match. Both sides might adopt a more cautious approach, prioritising defensive solidity to avoid conceding early.
Additionally, key attacking players are absent due to injuries—Everton are missing Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti, while Newcastle are without Alexander Isak. This could limit the offensive firepower on both ends. Considering that neither team has kept a clean sheet recently, but also hasn’t been prolific in front of goal, a low-scoring draw seems plausible. All these factors suggest that the match might produce fewer than 2.5 goals.
