Newcastle host Everton on Monday, 2 November, in the final match of the English Premier League’s ninth round, with the home side regarded as the bookmakers’ favourite. The prediction for the fixture is a 1-1 draw.
Newcastle go into the match eighth in the table after collecting 11 points from their opening eight games. Matthias Jaissle’s side have recorded three wins, two draws and three defeats in the Premier League this season.
The Magpies have scored 12 goals and conceded 14, leaving them with a negative goal difference. They are the only club in the top 10 to have scored fewer goals than they have allowed.
Newcastle’s recent record has also been mixed. Across their six most recent matches, they have won three and lost three.
Everton are three points behind their opponents in 11th place, having taken 10 points from eight matches. The Toffees have won twice, drawn four times and suffered two defeats during the current Premier League campaign.
Their attacking record is among the weakest in the division. Everton have scored nine goals, making them the fourth-lowest scorers in the Premier League.
They have failed to win any of their past three matches and have been beaten twice during that run.
Head-to-head record
Newcastle and Everton have met 189 times. Everton have the better overall record, with 78 victories compared with Newcastle’s 72. The other 39 matches ended in draws.
Despite Everton’s historical advantage, Newcastle are considered the more likely winners of Monday’s game according to the bookmakers.
The forecast is for both teams to score once, with the points shared in a 1-1 draw.
