Liverpool vs Newcastle predictions and football betting tips for this weekend’s Premier League match at Anfield with the best odds for each bet.
Liverpool host Newcastle on Saturday with kick off scheduled for 15:00 in this Barclays Premier League fixture, our football tipster has picked the best three bets this weekend. Jurgen Klopp has Liverpool on fire recently and this time they welcome back Rafa and a Newcastle side fighting to stay in the top league.
Liverpool vs Newcastle Predictions
Liverpool now look a new side under Jurgen Klopp. He has inherited this side and slowly through the season started to implement his way of working. They were inconsistent when he first took over, but this year no team has scored more Premier League goals in 2016 than Liverpool. They come into this game on terrific form, the confidence from that memorable European night still has them riding high. The “youth team” he sided got a win against Bournemouth and then midweek they made Everton look pathetic in the Merseyside Derby, a 4-0 score line wasn’t justifiable. They should have walked away with seven or eight as it looked like a training exercise for them.
Rafa Benetiz returns to Anfield where he famously brought the Champions League home back in 2005, this time the situation is very different, he needs to be his former side to keep Newcastle from dropping to the Championship. Sitting 19th in the league and fighting to stay up it does seem a task to far, they are two points off Norwich in 17th and Sunderland can go four points above them if they win their game in hand. It will be an interesting end to the season but with a 1-1 draw with Manchester City on Tuesday they will believe they can achieve something here.
Match Result Betting Tip
Liverpool have Villarreal to think about midweek as they are through to the Europa League semi-finals, so Klopp may follow last weekend’s trick and rest the big boys and field a less experienced, more youthful side. Newcastle need to stay up and with Rafa in charge anything is possible. The fans may start to believe now after two very good results and facing a Liverpool side who have one eye in Spain this may be a very good chance. I think Liverpool will prove a little tough to beat though so my for my first Liverpool vs Newcastle prediction I am going for a match result to be a draw.
Anytime Goalscorer Tip
Liverpool’s strike force has been impressive of late, but with the chance of them rested it’s time for the fringe players to step up. Origi looks to be spending some time on the sidelines through injury, Sturridge will most likely be rested as he will be needed to play the full 90 in the semi’s so will Klopp look at Benteke to lead the line again? He may fancy Sheyi Ojo as he has really impressed with his performances of late, this player is already becoming a fan favourite. Even if Benteke is picked ahead of Ojo he will at least play on the wing, he has pace, skill and the strength to the box and bag a goal. My second Liverpool vs Newcastle prediction for this weekend’s match is going to be Sheyi Ojo to score anytime.
SHEYI OJO TO SCORE ANYTIME – 3/1 at Betfred.
Bookings Betting Tip
Jonjo Shelvey returns to face another former team of his here and he has caused Liverpool trouble in the past when facing them. He appears to be sort of a bogey player for The Reds. Depending on Rafa’s line up he will be forced to defend tricky play in a midfield where Liverpool have been dominant of late and then relied upon him to take the attack forward. He may just get caught when going forward and have to make a “professional foul” to stop Liverpool progressing. He may just get angry and overwhelmed by the crowd and try to throw a big tackle in early, regardless of how it happens I feel a booking is due here. This is only really worth taking on if he makes the starting 11 so I would suggest checking the line ups an hour before kickoff. My third Liverpool vs Newcastle betting tip is going to be Jonjo Shelvey to be shown a card.
JONJO SHELVEY TO BE BOOKED – 11/5 with Bet Victor.
