Prediction: Everton VS Newcastle United 2025-05-25

The final matchday of the Premier League season is upon us, and what a thrilling encounter we have in store - Newcastle United hosting Everton at St. James' Park. The Magpies are looking to solidify their Champions League hopes, while the Toffees are aiming to avoid a disappointing end to their campaign.

Newcastle United, currently 4th in the table, has been inconsistent, to say the least. They've beaten Chelsea 2-0, but also lost to Arsenal 0-1. Everton, on the other hand, has had a mixed run, losing to Liverpool and Manchester City, but beating Nottingham Forest. They're currently 13th in the table, safe from relegation, but still looking to finish the season on a high note.

The head-to-head record between these two teams is limited, with their last meeting ending in a 0-0 draw. However, with Newcastle's home advantage and their need for a win to secure Champions League football, I'm predicting a dominant performance from the Magpies.

The bookies seem to agree, with Newcastle United priced at 1.3 (MyBookie.ag) to win, while Everton is a hefty 8.5. The draw is priced at 5.4, but I wouldn't bet on it. The spread is set at 1.5 goals, with Newcastle -1.5 priced at 1.83 (Bovada) and Everton +1.5 priced at 1.93 (Bovada).

My best bet for this match is Newcastle United to win and over 2.5 goals. The Magpies have been scoring for fun at home, and with their Champions League hopes on the line, I expect them to come out all guns blazing. Everton, on the other hand, has been leaky at the back, and I think they'll struggle to contain Newcastle's attack.

So, there you have it - Newcastle United to win and over 2.5 goals. The odds are 1.83 (Bovada) for the over, and with Newcastle's attacking prowess, I think it's a solid bet. Don't @ me.
