Key Facts
- Newcastle sits in 12th place with 11 points, while Everton is in 14th place with 10 points; a win would allow Everton to move ahead of its direct rival.
- Newcastle’s win at Crystal Palace hinted at an upward trend, but the cup loss put the brakes on it.
- Everton’s cup victory, with goals from James Garner, Hayden Hackney, and Thierno Barry, was an offensive response to the previous scoreless league matches against Chelsea and Arsenal.
- Everton’s recent success in head-to-head matchups supports a bet on Everton or a draw; a previous decisive victory by Newcastle highlights the risk of betting solely on the away team.
- An Everton win remains a risky bet, even though Newcastle has suffered three losses in its last five games and Everton won the most recent cup matchup.
- The fact that Everton has conceded goals in four of their last five games supports a bet on over 2.5 goals; however, their recent scoring drought in the league calls for caution.
Match Preview
Everton’s cup victory sets the stage for Matthias Jaissle ahead of the rematch. The 3-1 win over Newcastle in the League Cup in October 2026 was the last competitive match between the two teams to date. The league win at Crystal Palace had previously signaled an upward trend for Newcastle, which was halted by the cup defeat. If Everton wins again, the team will move ahead of Newcastle in the standings.
- Date and time: November 2, 2026, 9:00 p.m.
- Competition: Premier League (Matchday 9)
The bookmakers see Newcastle as slight favorites. However, Everton’s wins in their two most recent competitive matches against Newcastle make an away win a riskier—but appealing—bet. Betting on Everton or a draw offers a safety net. Newcastle’s league win at Crystal Palace argues against the away bet, while Everton’s recent scoring drought in the league casts doubt on the over 2.5 goals line. In their most recent cup match, however, both teams scored. The recent head-to-head matches support bets on an Everton win, Everton or a draw, and over 2.5 goals: Everton came out on top, and goals were scored as well.
Newcastle Form & Record Check
Newcastle’s 1-3 loss to Everton in the League Cup put the brakes on the upward trend hinted at by their 2-0 Premier League win at Crystal Palace. Their previous league losses to Aston Villa and Coventry City also make a home win a risky bet.
Everton Form & Record Check
Everton’s 3-1 cup win, with goals from James Garner, Hayden Hackney, and Thierno Barry, was a convincing offensive response to their recent league struggles. However, the two 0-2 Premier League losses to Chelsea FC and Arsenal call for caution when betting on “Everton to win.” In addition, David Moyes’ team has conceded goals in four consecutive matches across all competitions. A total of over 2.5 goals therefore remains a possibility, even if replicating the goal-scoring efficiency from the cup match is likely to be difficult.
Newcastle – Everton Head-to-Head & Statistics
In the 29 recorded competitive matches against Newcastle, Everton has 15 wins and Newcastle has nine. That favors the visitors. Everton won 3–2 in the league in February 2026 and 3–1 in the cup in October 2026. In the four most recent recorded matchups, Everton scored in each game, which supports away team picks and goal bets. However, Newcastle’s 4–1 win in November 2025 shows why betting on an Everton win is riskier than the double chance bet.
