Sunderland v Newcastle Betting Tips and Predictions

Sunderland v Newcastle betting tips and predictions for this weekend’s football in the Premier League on Sunday 25^th October 2015.

 

It seems to be the case that whenever a new manager is appointed at the Stadium of Light, one of the first games for the new boss is the Tyne-Wear derby, here our football tipster has picked out his three best betting tips.

 

Sunderland v Newcastle Predictions

 

After tasting defeat to West Brom in his first game in charge, Sam Allardyce knows that a loss against arch rivals Newcastle is simply not an option. Unlike managers in recent times – Di Canio, Poyet and Advocaat – Big Sam does fully understand the importance of this derby having been manager of Newcastle in 2007.

 

The pressure is always on when Sunderland and Newcastle go head to head, but it is even more so when you look at the current league table. The Black Cats sit bottom of the pile, with the Magpies only three points and two places better off after nine games apiece. A defeat for Sunderland will leave them at least five points from safety, while Newcastle boss Steve McClaren is fully aware that supporters expect his side to put on a performance on Sunday.

 

When was the last time Newcastle beat Sunderland? The Geordies haven’t won this fixture since 2011, with Sunderland winning the last five by an aggregate of 10-1!

 

The last Sunderland manager to lose a derby was Steve Bruce in 2011. Martin O’Neill drew his two derbies in charge and Paolo di Canio, Gus Poyet and Dick Advocaat between them won five out of five.

 

While the formbook suggests there really is only one winner, I am going to have to sit on the fence and predict a draw for my Sunderland v Newcastle result prediction when the two sides meet each other on Sunday afternoon. The way the league looks at present and the importance of the clash for both managers, I just cannot see either side losing.

 

My first Sunderland v Newcastle betting tip is for the match to end in a draw, the best odds are 23/10 with Sky Bet.

When Allardyce was in charge of Newcastle for this particular match up at the Stadium of Light back in 2007, the game ended 1-1, and I am tipping a repeat of that scoreline.

 

My second Sunderland v Newcastle predictions is for a correct score, a £10 bet on the final score being 1-1 with Bet Victor will pocket you £75 if successful.

The Toon Army may be hovering just above the bottom of the league, but they will go into Sunday’s clash feeling on top of the world after beating Norwich 6-2 last weekend. And one man in particular will be flying high after bagging four goals in the victory. Georginio Wijnaldum has hit the ground running since his big money move from PSV in the summer and looks a class act. The Dutch midfielder has shown he has an eye for goal and having already notched on six occasions this season, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him on the scoresheet again at the weekend.

 

We all know the Mackens are shaky at the back, so for my final betting tip for Sunderland v Newcastle this weekend, get your money on Gio at odds of 3/1 with Bet365 to score at any time to turn your Sunday afternoon into a money making affair.
