Does the Magpies’ run of form continue?
Newcastle United can be very pleased with their season opener overall. The Magpies remained unbeaten at Manchester United on Sunday (0-0) and have lost only one of their last 12 league games this season – a 2-1 defeat at Liverpool FC. That means Eddie Howe’s troops go into the English week sixth in the table.
Meanwhile, Everton arrive in anything but form. The Blues recently lost two league games in a row again and bring with them a poor away record. Since the start of the 2021/22 season, no team in the Premier League has lost more away games than the Toffees (15 times). Accordingly, the odds on Newcastle against Everton are swinging in the direction of the home side.
If Newcastle United can avoid defeat at St James’ Park, the Magpies will remain unbeaten in their first six home games of a season for the first time since the 2011/12 campaign. However, the north-easterners have only lost one of their last 15 home games, which is why Newcastle vs Everton betting tip 1 is also very favourable.
If betting on a home win for the Magpies is a little too risky for you, you can bet on a goal from Callum Wilson, who has already scored six goals in his last four Premier League games against Everton.
Newcastle – Statistics & current form
Newcastle United Football Club have four national championships and six FA Cup victories to their name. All titles, however, are already far in the past. The takeover of the club, which has been circling around in the doldrums of the league table, by a consortium led by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund Public Investment Fund was received positively.
For two transfer windows, the managers invested a lot of money in new additions, which means that the fans can now dream of more successful times again. After ten games of the 2022/23 season, the Magpies are ranked sixth in the Premier League.
The best defence in the Premier League
NUFC were particularly convincing defensively. Only nine goals conceded from ten league games give Eddie Howe’s side the best defence in the Premier League. Only Machester City (four) have kept a clean sheet more often than Newcastle (three) so far this season.
The north-easterners will be well prepared for the twelfth matchday. The Magpies recently picked up seven points from a possible nine in their last three games and also took a point from Old Trafford on Sunday with a 0-0 draw at Manchester United.
Only lost one of last 15 Premier League home games
At home at St James’ Park, Eddie Howe’s side have even made a comeback as a home power recently. The Black and Whites have lost only one of their last 15 Premier League home games (nine wins, five draws) and could now go unbeaten in their first six home games of a Premier League season for the first time in 11 years.
Given that they have also won their last two Premier League home games in a row against the Toffees, it makes a lot of sense to play Newcastle vs Everton tip 1 in light of this recent performance data.
Predicted Newcastle line-up:
Pope – Burn – Botman – Schär – Trippier – Joelinton – Guimaraes – Longstaff – Murphy – Almirón – Wilson

Everton – Statistics & current form
Everton Football Club, as nine-time national champions and five-time overall FA Cup winners, would also love to be back at the top of the Premier League. However, even a recent transfer offensive in the two-year era of Carlo Ancelotti did not lead the Blues back into international competition.
Instead, under Frank Lampard, the Toffees finished a dismal 2021/22 season in 16th place, just managing to stave off relegation from the Premier League for the first time in the club’s history despite 21 defeats from 38 league matches.
Won only two of first ten league games
The tide has yet to really turn for the better in the 2022/23 season.
The Liverpool outfit have won just two of their ten league games so far and sit just two points clear of a direct relegation spot in 14th position in the table.
The defensive values are basically good with only eleven goals conceded. However, the Toffees’ biggest shortcoming by far is their weak attack, which has only scored eight goals – the fourth worst figure in the entire Premier League.
Five key players injured
Adding to this is the very poor record on away grounds. No other team in the Premier League has lost more often away from home since the start of the 2021/22 season than the Blues (15 times), who consequently come to Newcastle upon Tyne as underdogs
The Toffees have recently lost two league games in a row again. With coach Frank Lampard having to compensate for the absence of five key players – Ben Godfrey, Mason Holgate, Nathan Patterson, Abdoulaye Doucouré and Andros Townsend – there is no sign of a turnaround.
Predicted line-up of Everton:
Pickford – McNeil – Mykolenk – Coady – Tarkowski – Coleman – Onana – Gueye – Iwobi – Maupay – Gray
Last games played by Everton:
Premier League
15/10/2022 – Tottenham 2 – 0 Everton
10/10/2022 – Everton 1 – 2 Manchester United
01/10/2022 – Southampton 1 – 2 Everton

Newcastle – Everton Direct Comparison / H2H Balance
Head to head: 69 – 36 – 75
There have been a total of 180 meetings between the two teams so far and Everton lead the head-to-head comparison with 75 wins. The Toffees also won their last Premier League match to date against the Magpies 1-0 in March 2022, but the three games before that all went to Newcastle.
Newcastle – Everton betting tips
The prediction for Newcastle against Everton goes clearly in the direction of the home side. In addition to the home strength (only one defeat from the last 15 Premier League home games), the current form also speaks for the Magpies. The north-easterners have lost only one of their last twelve league games. On the other hand, the Blues are missing five key players, have only won two of their first ten league games and have recently suffered two defeats in a row.
In addition, the Toffees’ away weakness, who have also lost their last two matches at St. James’ Park. Accordingly, the bet on a home win for the Magpies is coherent.
