Liverpool and Newcastle United return to Premier League action following midweek Champions League commitments, with the two sides set to clash at Anfield. Both teams are currently outside the European qualification places and will view this fixture as a crucial opportunity to get their league campaigns back on track. Read on for our full prediction of Liverpool vs Newcastle United.
The Reds come into this match sitting sixth in the Premier League, while Newcastle United occupy ninth place, with just a small margin separating several teams in the race for Europe. MatchPlug brings you the latest odds, insights, and analysis for Liverpool vs Newcastle United.

● 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5
Liverpool head into this fixture still reeling from a late setback in their previous league match, a result that significantly dented both their title defence and their push for Champions League qualification. Despite that disappointment, the Reds remain firmly in contention for a top-four finish and will be determined to respond positively in front of their home crowd.
Anfield continues to be a major advantage for Liverpool, especially in this fixture. They have completed league doubles over Newcastle in five of the last seven seasons, while the Magpies have lost on each of their last four Premier League visits to Anfield. Liverpool also claimed victory in the reverse fixture earlier in the season, further strengthening their case as favourites.
With attacking quality throughout the squad and a strong home record, Liverpool will see this as a must-win encounter in their bid to return to the European places.
Betting On Newcastle United
● 1XBet Spread: +0.5
● 1XBet Moneyline: 4.50
● 1XBet Over/Under: Over 2.5
Newcastle United’s season has failed to live up to expectations, and their eighth league defeat last time out underlined their inconsistency. Starting this round in ninth place, another loss could see the Magpies slide as low as 12th, increasing the pressure on their European ambitions.
Away from home, Newcastle have struggled to impose themselves, and their recent record at Anfield makes for worrying reading. Defensive lapses and an inability to control games on the road have been recurring issues, and they will need a near-perfect performance to leave Merseyside with points.
MatchPlug Prediction for Liverpool vs Newcastle United
Both sides arrive after demanding midweek European fixtures, but Liverpool’s strong home record and dominance in this matchup give them the edge. Newcastle’s away struggles, particularly at Anfield, further tilt the balance in favour of the hosts.
With European qualification on the line and momentum desperately needed, Liverpool should be able to capitalize on home advantage and secure a vital three points.
