For our Premier League predictions today, we’re looking to the North East, where Newcastle host the champions and league leaders Liverpool. We’ve analysed the stats and recent form to bring you our Premier League tips & predictions for this crunch tie here at Betastic.
Newcastle face tricky festive fixtures
By all accounts and Premier League predictions, it hasn’t been a bad season thus far for the Magpies, as they sit in 13th place with the top half of the table well within site. However, some fans remain critical of Steve Bruce’s negative tactics and feel it doesn’t fit the ethos of the club. Steve Bruce’s side were dealt a bad hand with the festive schedule as well. Their boxing day outfitting was an away trip to Newcastle, they host champions Liverpool on the 30th for this fixtures followed by Southampton on new years Day.
Liverpool slip up, but remain top
Few Premier League predictions would’ve foreseen Liverpool dropping points at home to West Brom, but that’s exactly what happened on Sunday afternoon. Sam Allardyce kept up his good record by holding the Reds to a 1-1 draw on their home turf. Liverpool’s attacking trio struggled to break down a stern defence on Sunday, and could expect more of the same on their trip to St. James’ Park on Wednesday. Liverpool are able to field a strong first 11 despite injuries, but are perhaps missing the back up of the likes of Diogo Jota to see them through the jam-packed festive schedule.
Liverpool have won their last 5 games against Newcastle, and are unbeaten in their last 7. The last time the Magpies beat the Reds was in December 2015, which ended in a 2-0 win at St. James’ Park. The second goal was scored by Gini Wijnaldum, now a key player in Liverpool’s all conquering squad. Last season, the Reds beat Newcastle 3-1 in both fixtures. Despite being unbeaten against Newcastle in 7, Liverpool have only managed 2 clean sheets in their last 8 against the Magpies. Sadio Mane has scored 3 in his last 2 games against Newcastle.

Our Betting Tip for Today
Having analysed the above information, our Premier League predictions today point to an away win for Liverpool on Wednesday night.
Liverpool to return to winning ways
Liverpool might have dropped points on Sunday, but doing so again at St. James’ Park looks unlikely. West Brom manager Sam Allardyce actually has a decent record against Liverpool at Anfield and they also managed to draw against Manchester City. And while Newcastle have managed impressive wins over Everton and West Ham this season, none of their results have come a against a traditional top 6 side – unless you count the luck provided by VAR against Everton. Given these facts and recent results, it seems inevitable that Liverpool will comfortably return to winning ways, even against a deep sitting Newcastle side. As you can see from the results listed above, Liverpool have won 4 of their last 5 against the Magpies by 2 or more goals. That’s why our betting tip for today is to back a Liverpool win by 2 goals at odds of 4.33 with Bet365.
