Everton vs Newcastle Prediction & Betting Tips (5 October)

Everton have not been in the best of form on their own patch recently, winning just two of their previous 16 top-flight matches, and the Seagulls have actually been beaten in four of their last six home games. Newcastle, by way of contrast, have enjoyed eight wins in 13 the Premier League fixtures of late, and they have splashed the cash on new players this summer.

Entertainment levels have been high in recent Everton home games in the Premier League, with 16 of the last 18, including six in a row of late, serving up three goals or more. Seven of the previous ten Newcastle away matches in the league have also been of the over 2.5 goals variety, which suggests that this contest should provide plenty of excitement.

When Newcastle come calling in the Premier League, excitement usually follows, with the team both scoring and conceding during the same 91 minutes in 16 of their previous 21 away games. Given that 13 of the most recent 16 Everton home matches at this level have followed the same pattern, something similar is expected when the teams go head-to-head.
