Newcastle vs Everton prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-05-24 15:00.
[p]This is a huge contest for Newcastle United, who know a win here against Everton will almost certainly guarantee them a spot in next season’s UEFA Champions League. They start matchday 38 sitting fourth but locked on 66 points with two other sides, so they know that anything less than victory means they will be heavily relying on results elsewhere. The Magpies did suffer a costly 1-0 loss away to Arsenal last Sunday, but just one league defeat in nine (W7, D1) prior to that should have ensured that confidence remains high. [/p]
[p]Boosting that belief further will be Newcastle’s strong recent history of finishing the campaign on a high. They have won their final game in eight of the last ten seasons (D1, L1), while six Premier League wins at St James’ Park in their last six matches there does highlight how tough visiting teams have found facing them on their own turf in recent months. [/p]
[p]Wolves’ defeat to Crystal Palace on Tuesday means that Everton are guaranteed a 13th-placed finish no matter the result here, making this effectively a dead rubber from their point of view. There have been no signs of the Toffees slowing down in recent weeks though, and if they win this game, they will end a league season with three consecutive victories for the first time since the 1988/89 campaign.[/p]
[p]Everton do not have the best record when it comes to rounding off the season though, winning their final league match in just one of the last eight campaigns (D1, L6). The travelling Toffees faithful have also not seen their side earn three points at Newcastle since December 2019 (D1, L3). [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Only Andy Cole in 1993/94 (13) and Nolberto Solano in 1999/00 (15) have assisted more goals in a league campaign for Newcastle since records began than Jacob Murphy (12) this term. After his double last week, Iliman Ndiaye has now scored six times in his last ten Premier League starts for Everton.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: From the day of Everton’s first Premier League win under David Moyes this season on January 19th, only four teams in the division have picked up more points than the Toffees’ 28.[/p]
