Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Liverpool

In a contest that looks to be more on the Liverpool side, Newcastle United will be keen to stage a major comeback at the Anfield stadium. However, Liverpool looks to have a better chance of winning because of the previous record against Newcastle United where they have continuously won 14 matches from the last 8 years.

Newcastle United has faced a challenging streak on the road against Liverpool in the Premier League, having not secured a victory in their last 27 away matches. The last instance of their success in such an encounter dates back to 1994 when they clinched a 2-0 victory. This prolonged period without a win at Anfield underscores the formidable fortress that Liverpool has established on their home turf.

For the Liverpool team, strengthening their position at the top looks to be their favourite task here as they have a team that compiles players like Mohamed Salah, Darwin Núñez, Cody Gakpo and others who have been capable of doing well here. Furthermore, Anfield has undeniably solidified its status as a formidable fortress in the initial stages of the 2023/24 season. Liverpool encountered minimal setbacks, with just two instances of dropped points in their nine home league matches, underscoring their dominance on home soil.

Considering the match, we are predicting a 2-0 win for Liverpool against Newcastle United on Tuesday.
