The Toffees finally ended their miserable start to the season by scoring maximum points at home to Crystal Palace last Saturday. For the first time since April, Everton will be aiming for a second straight home win.
However, creating good opportunities in the final third has proven troublesome. To this point, the Toffees have accumulated an xG of just 4.57 from open play.
Defensively, they were better last weekend, but they have still allowed an xGA of 9.47 from open play. The return of Jarrad Branthwaite will remain a key consideration before making an Everton vs Newcastle prediction.
Eddie Howe would have taken positives from Newcastle’s 1-1 draw against Man City last weekend, but they continue to stutter in the final third without Alexander Isak. The Magpies have an xG of 5.27 from open play, which only ranks slightly better than Everton’s.
Newcastle’s defence will have questions to answer this weekend. The Magpies have accumulated an xGA of 12.08 this term, which is considerably higher than the figure they had at this stage last term.
Howe’s side could be vulnerable defensively from corners this weekend after accumulating an xGA of 0.68.
Bet hereA close game is expected this weekend, but we are keeping faith with a home win for our Everton vs Newcastle prediction. The head-to-head trends support this stance, as the Toffees have suffered just three defeats in their last 20 Premier League meetings with the Magpies at Goodison Park.
Newcastle have been vulnerable when the ball has been crossed into their box this season. Therefore, Dominic Calvert-Lewin could be a good Everton vs Newcastle prediction. The striker has scored twice this term, and he averaged 2.28 shots on goal per 90 minutes.
