Newcastle vs Liverpool brings us one of the strongest trends in Premier League betting - goals. Lovers of the stats need only look at the most recent clash to see Newcastle beat Liverpool by a 2-1 scoreline. That narrow win for Eddie Howe's men came in the English League Cup last March at Wembley Stadium. Dan Burn and0Alexander Isak scored either side of half-time, before the beaten team hit a consolation near the end. Liverpool are out for revenge on Monday evening, but will they get it? The visitors will be popular in pre-match predictions.
Looking beyond the most recent match, we see the goals trend continues through the seasons. These rivals met three times last season in the Premier League and cup, with 11 goals scored in total. The pair shared a six-goal draw at this venue late last year, before the EPL champions won 2-0 at Anfield in February. Newcastle United and Liverpool met twice in the 2023/24 season, scoring a combined nine goals. That haul includes a 2-1 win for Liverpool here.
I thought long and hard about taking the slightly easier option here and betting on both teams to score, but over 2.5 goals offers better odds, so that's our first approach at St James' Park. A bet on three or more goals would've secured you a return in four of the previous five, and that's enough to catch our eye and merit a bet. You can add the pick to your Monday night acca.
Tip: Over 2.5 goals @ 4/7 (bet365)
Bet explanation: You want the game to produce three or more goals for both teams combined.
With our first pick best suited to your multiples, we turn our attentions to one for lovers of a single at higher odds. Our second prediction at St James' Park builds on the first tip, picking both teams to score in a Liverpool win. With this approach, the final scoreline isn't important to your bet, and who scores the goals doesn't impact you either. If Liverpool beats Newcastle on the road, but the home team puts up a fight and scores at least once, you're a winner. I'm a fan of this market as it allows you to cheer every goal scored.
We again return to the stats to back up this bet. Playing Liverpool to win and both teams to score would've boosted your balance when Arne Slot's champions beat Bournemouth 4-2 in the opener at Anfield last Friday. The Reds also scored two and conceded two in the Community Shield, before losing on penalties to Crystal Palace. Six goals scored in two starts this season prove how dangerous Liverpool are in attack, but they've also conceded four goals in that two-game period. I'm confident followers will get a run for their money here.
Returning to the head-to-head statistics, there's plenty more to get excited about. If you had placed a bet on both teams to score and Liverpool to defeat Newcastle United, you would've made a profit in four of the previous nine. What's also interesting is that the aggregate score from the last three meetings at this venue is Newcastle 4-7 Liverpool. More of the same, please.
Tip: Liverpool win and both score @ 12/5 (bet365)
Bet explanation: If Liverpool win and Newcastle score one or more goals, your bet lands.
We keep the biggest price bet for last, picking Mo Salah to score the opening goal at St James' Park. The world-famous striker has become a hero at Anfield over the years, due to his high work rate, energy, and thirst for goals. He's the ultimate professional, and you can be sure Salah will be as good this season as he was last. The striker has already scored more than 180 goals for Liverpool since his arrival, adding 60 for Egypt. I'm confident he'll make the difference here.
In the head-to-head stats, we see that Salah celebrated goals against Newcastle in five of the previous six seasons, which is special. That run goes as far back as the 2017/18 campaign and into the 2024/25 season. The spare in that run was in 2022/23 when Salah failed to score against the Magpies. That's an impressive run and encourages us to stick with the Egyptian goal machine on Monday evening.
Sticking to recent games, Salah netted a brace in his most recent game at St James' Park, scoring two of Liverpool's goals in that 3-3 draw. You can bet on Salah to score anytime and, as long as he finds the net, you'll find a profit. But there are better odds in the first scorer market, and we place our trust in the experienced goal-getter.
Tip: Salah to score first @ 4/1 (bet365)
Bet explanation: Your bet wins if Mo Salah opens the scoring at St James' Park on Monday.
Newcastle win @ 5/2 (bet365)
Draw @ 27/10 (bet365)
Liverpool win @ 19/20 (bet365)
