Command Analysis
Everton
Current form
Everton confidently entered the season, even going on a six-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League. However, in the last two rounds, the toffees failed the strength test in matches against top rivals, losing to Chelsea and Arsenal with the same score 0:2. As a result, after eight rounds, David Moyes' team is only in 11th place with 10 points in the asset. In the League Cup, Everton went through two rounds, achieved victories over Preston (4-0) and Wolverhampton (1-0), and played reliably in defense as usual. The Toffees' main problem at the moment is a weak attacking game, with only eight goals scored in the Premier League.
Disqualifications and injuries
Grealish, Brantwaite and Mikolenko will not play due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
In 9 of the last 10 matches, Everton's players have been offside more often than their opponents.
In 4 of Everton's previous 5 matches, no more than two goals were scored.
Newcastle has not been stable since the beginning of the season, which is not surprising, given the loss of key players in the off-season. At the same time, there was no outright decline. The Magpies, led by Matthias Jaissle, have scored 11 points in eight rounds in the Premier League and are in eighth place. After two defeats in a row in the last round, we managed to beat Crystal Palace with a score of 2:0. In the League Cup, Newcastle went through two rounds, beating West Brom (3:2) and Millwall (0:1) with some problems. It should be noted that the magpies are experiencing defensive problems away, since the beginning of the season they have managed to concede four goals from Leeds and Coventry, losing with the same score 1-4.
Disqualifications and injuries
Jauen and Livramento are injured. Fernandez-Pardo and Miley are in doubt.
Interesting betting trends
In four of the last five matches, Newcastle have not won in the first half.
In five of Newcastle's eight previous matches, no more than eight shots on target were recorded.
Approximate composition: Hornicek – Dedic, Tschau, Botman, Hall – N. Gonzalez, Joelinton – Murphy, Willock, Barnes – Wissa.
Everton has maintained its usual level throughout the season, and does not allow itself to fail against comparable or inferior opponents. The Toffees have two losses in the passive, from Chelsea and Arsenal. A well-structured game by the second number under the leadership of David Moyes does not give a positive result only against top opponents. The current Newcastle is definitely not one of them now.
The Magpies are not stable, they have already failed on the road in matches with Leeds and Coventry. Undoubtedly, an important point when choosing bets is that in the seven previous face-to-face meetings at Everton, taking into account all tournaments, he suffered only one defeat. We believe that due to their stability and reliable defensive play, the hosts will have a better chance of reaching the quarterfinals.
Our betting tip is for Everton to pass by a factor of 1.70
Everton plays strictly as the second number, relies on reliable defense and counterattacks. It is no coincidence that the Toffees have won all their four victories since the beginning of the season with a dry score. We don't think the Magpies will have many chances to score at least two goals today.
The second bet is that Newcastle's individual goal total is less than 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.55
Betting on corners
Newcastle has a very weak corner record. In three of the last four matches, the Magpies have played fewer innings from the corner flag than their opponents. Based on this trend, we recommend another bet on the match.
Prediction – Everton win on corners with a coefficient of 1.92
