Newcastle United vs Liverpool Prediction: Sportpesa Mega Jackpot Predictions

ENGLAND: PREMIER LEAGUE – ROUND 24

Date: 18 February 2023, Saturday

Kick-off at 20:30 EAT

Venue: St. James’ Park (Newcastle)

Newcastle’s unbeaten run in the Premier League was extended to 17 matches with a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth. However, this was their third draw in a row, bringing their total draws for the league season to 11, which is more than the number of games they have won (10).
Although the Magpies have been performing well, it is their resolute defence that has played a significant role in their top-four position, as they have managed to keep ten clean sheets during their unbeaten run of 17 matches.
Newcastle, playing at home, are yet to lose a match in the Premier League this season, having won six and drawn five of their 11 games at their home ground.
They are aiming to extend their unbeaten run of 12 matches at home, having won seven and drawn five since May 2022, when they face Arsenal.
On the other hand, Liverpool have won two, drawn two, and lost six of their away matches in the league this season.
They are hoping to break a three-match losing streak away from home and have not managed to avoid defeat since their draw against Aston Villa in December 2022.
Liverpool managed to end their five-game winless streak in the league with a 2-0 victory over Everton in the Merseyside derby on Monday. They were the only team to have beaten Newcastle in the league this season, with a 2-1 win in August.
Although Liverpool won their recent match, many believe that the most they can realistically achieve in the league this season is a top-four position.
Therefore, they will be keen on narrowing the nine-point gap that separates them from Newcastle, as Liverpool have a game in hand.
To achieve this goal, the Reds will be looking to secure a victory that would see them create history by avoiding defeat for the first time in six consecutive league visits to St. James’ Park (W3, D2).
Otherwise, a loss in this match would mark their fourth successive Premier League defeat on the road, something that hasn’t happened since April 2012, when they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle.
