LiontipsNewcastle vs Liverpool. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 English Premier League (February 18, 2023).
Command Analysis
Newcastle United have won the hearts of many Premier League fans this season. The team started confidently and found itself in the top four of the EPL. They mounted the longest unbeaten streak in league history, consisting of 17 games. The streak began, by a strange coincidence, after a 1-2 defeat to today's opponent back in August.
However, in five of their last six Premier League matches, the Magpies shared the spoils with their opponents. The team's main strength is its defense, they conceded only 13 goals in 22 games. Newcastle have only one defeat in the last 24 home games.
The hosts will be without Guimaraes, Wilson, Willock, Targett, Manquillo, Krafth.
In the last round, Liverpool got a long-awaited victory over Everton (2-0) in the Merseyside derby. Some fans are convinced that Jurgen Klopp's team can still finish in the top this season, but that would require focus and exceptional performance in the remaining games. They are currently nine points behind Newcastle.
The visitors have a good record against Newcastle and have not lost in six consecutive matches at St. James' Park. On the other hand, the Reds may face their fourth consecutive away defeat in the Premier League for the first time since April 2012. Currently, Liverpool have nine victories and five draws, which corresponds to 32 points and the ninth position in the standings.
Alcantara, Ramsay, Konate, Diaz, and Arthur have been ruled out of this fixture.
