Newcastle will play Liverpool in the first round of the Premier League on August 23. Both teams performed below expectations last season and changed their coaches. We're figuring out the betting tip for who has the best chance of scoring three points today. What reliable bets should I choose for the upcoming meeting?
Command Analysis
Newcastle United
Current form
Newcastle were left without European cups last season, finishing only in 12th place in the Premier League. Nevertheless, Eddie Howe retained his post, but left the club during the pre-season training. In July, the magpies were led by Matthias Jaissle and under his leadership the team held four sparring sessions, in which they managed to win only one victory. The current Newcastle squad has clearly become weaker, especially in the midfield, since Guimaraes and Tonali have left. The Magpies did not make any truly significant acquisitions during the offseason. In the last friendly match, a 1-1 draw was recorded in regular time with Strasbourg.
Disqualifications and injuries
Joelinton and Livramento are injured, Willock is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In six consecutive matches involving Newcastle, an exchange of goals was recorded.
In four of the last five matches, the Magpies have not won in the first half.
Approximate composition: Gornik – Dedic, Tschau, Cher, Hall – Bamba, Miley – Elanga, Voltemade, Barnes – Wissa.
Liverpool
Current form
Last season, Liverpool relied on the battle for trophies in all the tournaments where they participated. However, nothing happened to win, and in the Premier League, the Reds finished only in fifth place, barely getting into the Champions League. Against the background of such results, Arne Slot was dismissed, and Andoni Iraola, who performed well at Bournemouth, was appointed in his place. Under his leadership, the Merseysiders played six friendly matches, in which they scored three victories. In the last sparring match, a 2-0 victory was recorded over Como. The main event in the transfer market was the departure of Mohamed Salah.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bradley, Ekitike, Gomez and Leonie are injured.
Interesting betting trends
In six of Liverpool's last seven matches, there have been more than three offsides
There was no goal exchange in three of the Merseysiders' previous five matches.
Newcastle is clearly not ready for the new season. It wasn't until July that the coach changed, key midfield players left the club, there were no major acquisitions, and they failed to prove themselves in the pre-season friendly matches. Andoni Iraola, after joining Liverpool, calmly prepared his players for the start of the season, played new bundles, and the Merseysiders performed well in individual sparring sessions, even though they could not use all the players of the main squad. Liverpool have won three of their last four face-to-face meetings, and we expect them to gain the upper hand today.
Our betting tip is for Liverpool to win by a factor of 1.90
Newcastle's defense regularly failed in pre-season sparring sessions, with the team conceding more than one goal in three of the last five matches. We don't think Liverpool will have any trouble scoring at least twice against a comfortable opponent today.
The second bet is that Liverpool's individual goal total is over 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.60
Betting on corners
In 9 of Newcastle's last 12 matches, there have been no more than 10 innings from the corner flag. Based on this trend, we recommend another option for betting on a match.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is less than 10.5 with a coefficient of 1.82
xG (from English "expected goals" translates as "expected goals") is the sum of the probabilities of scoring chances, a mathematical value calculated taking into account the parameters of potential scoring chances, which include shots on goal and dangerous moments without finishing shots.
