Match Preview
As Newcastle United prepares to host Liverpool at St. James' Park on Monday evening, both teams come into the match with contrasting recent form. Newcastle has struggled to find consistency, managing just two draws in their last five matches, while Liverpool has shown resilience, winning three of their last five. Historically, this fixture has been competitive, with both teams winning four times in their last ten encounters, and a high likelihood of goals, evidenced by six of those matches seeing over 2.5 goals.
One notable angle for this match is Newcastle's defensive vulnerabilities, which have been exposed in recent games. With Liverpool's attacking prowess, particularly through players like Mohamed Salah, the visitors will look to exploit any lapses in the home side's backline. The odds suggest a tight contest, but with both teams likely to score, backing both teams to find the net (BTTS Yes at 1.5) could be a prudent choice. Expect an engaging match with plenty of attacking intent from both sides.
