Liverpool vs Newcastle prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-02-25 20:15.
[p]With Arsenal dropping points a day earlier, Liverpool went into their clash with Manchester City knowing a win would see them move even closer to a second Premier League title. Arne Slot’s men more than delivered, netting both goals before half-time in a 2-0 win at the Etihad Stadium to open up an 11-point advantage over Arsenal, albeit having played a game more.[/p]
[p]The Reds now head back to Anfield after playing four of their last five matches on the road, and a victorious homecoming seems likely since Liverpool have won 22 of their last 24 home games played on a Wednesday (D2). The Kop have become well used to goals too, with Slot’s men scoring at least twice in each of their last 17 fixtures at Anfield, an output they’ve matched in all but two of their last 18 home H2Hs with upcoming visitors Newcastle. [/p]
[p]The Magpies are coming off their own goalfest, coming from behind to run out 4-3 winners in a huge clash against Nottingham Forest on Sunday. Only goal difference separates Eddie Howe’s men from the top four pre-round, but things could have been so different had they not lost three of their last five Premier League matches (W2). Another setback could be on the way here too, as Newcastle have lost 13 of their last 17 away league games on a Wednesday (W2, D2). [/p]
[p]Travelling to the league leaders here does them no favours either, as they have failed to win each of their last 20 trips to the side starting the day at the Premier League summit (D5, L15). Their record at Anfield is even more dismal, with their last league win on this ground coming way back in April 1994 (D5, L23).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: The league’s top two scorers in Mohamed Salah and Alexander Isak look set to collide. Salah scored and assisted against Manchester City at the weekend, with that the 49th league game across his time in Europe’s big-five leagues he has achieved that feat – one of the prior 48 came in this season’s reverse fixture. Isak matched him that day, while his brace against Forest made him the highest-scoring Swede in Premier League history with 50 goals. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Liverpool have won eight of their last 12 home matches by a 2+ goal margin[/p]
