Liverpool-Newcastle United betting preview
As the final day of the season beckons, Liverpool will be kicking themselves for letting go a golden opportunity to win the Premier League title. Two weeks ago they were on the driver’s seat, in need of just seven more points from the three remaining matches to clinch a long overdue crown. However, then Steven Gerrard slipped and they lost against Chelsea. A week later, they suffered a miserable final 15 minutes against Crystal Palace and held to a draw. Now, they can win the title only if Manchester City lose against West Ham and they defeat Newcastle.
Beating Newcastle United may not be a big deal. The Magpies had run out of steam after the first half of the season. They are one of the poor performers of the league in recent times. They won 3-0 against Cardiff last week. It was their first win after six straight defeats.
After 11 straight wins, Liverpool have spent two weeks without a win. They would prefer to end the season with yet another enthralling performance, irrespective what happens in the Manchester City vs West Ham match. Their recent H2H record against Newcastle is good: six wins and two draws in the last ten games.
Liverpool will welcome back Jordan Henderson, who has been a good luck charm for the team. There are no injury worries to the squad. That means Newcastle will have to deal with one of the most explosive forward line-ups in Europe.
Liverpool-Newcastle United Prediction
Liverpool are likely to play with their best. Newcastle will be lucky to even escape with a narrow defeat.
