Newcastle v Liverpool Tip

This tip pretty much writes itself when the home side are eight points higher in the league table, and on much better form, and yet priced down as underdogs! Newcastle are best odds of 85/40 (BetVictor) to beat a Liverpool team who have lost five of their last six top flight matches, including the last three away from Anfield.

The Reds continue to be priced up on stature and reputation, but they have shown very little to back that up. Indeed, in 2012, only Wolves (5) have picked up fewer points than ‘mighty’ Liverpool (8).

Any thoughts that the Magpies might falter when handed the chance to secure a top-six spot look to have been well and truly vanquished at the Hawthornes last Sunday. Newcastle produced one of their best performances of the season to comfortably run out 3-1 victors over improved WBA. With new striker Papiss Cisse banging in the goals, the Toon Army are frankly insulted by the odds on offer.
