Newcastle v Everton Premier League Prediction Match
Champions League-chasing Newcastle host mid-table Everton on the final day of the Premier League season at St. James' Park on Sunday. Can the Magpies claim all three points in the top five race?
Newcastle United Preview & Form
Newcastle United will head into a crucial final day round in search of all three points that will guarantee their return to Champions League football next season. The Magpies start this round sitting fourth in the league standings, level on points with fifth-placed Chelsea and sixth-placed Aston Villa but are ahead on goal difference. Eddie Howe's men have already qualified for European competitions by beating Liverpool in the final at Wembley Stadium in March, but they are mainly focused on finishing in the top five and securing UEFA Champions League football for next season. Last weekend, they suffered a huge setback as they were beaten 1-0 by Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, with the result ending a three-match unbeaten run.
Eddie Howe’s men are enjoying terrific home form, with the Magpies currently riding on a seven-match winning streak, with two or more goals scored in each of the games.
Everton Preview & Form
Everton bid farewell to Goodison Park for the men’s team last weekend, as they prepare to relocate to the Hill Dickinson Stadium at Bramley-Moore Docks next season. The Toffees gave their formal stadium a huge sendoff by beating already relegated Southampton 2-0 at the iconic Goodison Park, thanks to a first-half brace from Ndiaye. The result stretched their current unbeaten run to three games in a row, winning two and drawing once. David Moyes' side is now guaranteed to finish the season in 13th place, no matter the outcome of the game.
David Moyes's men have also struggled significantly with their road games, having managed just two wins from their last five Premier League away games. It is worth noting that five of the Toffees' last six away games have produced a low-scoring result, with each ending in under 2.5 goals.
