Liverpool vs Newcastle United: prediction & betting odds 26 Feb 2025
Betting tips 26 Feb 2025
Liverpool’s recent victory over Manchester City has significantly improved their chances of winning the Premier League title, leaving their closest rivals with little hope. Meanwhile, Newcastle United were the only team in contention for a Champions League spot to win in the previous round.
Liverpool’s victory over the defending champions was built on an intense first-half performance, during which they scored both goals. Arne Slot will also be pleased that his side avoided any bookings—Trent Alexander-Arnold, who was at risk of suspension, managed to contain the partnership of Jérémy Doku and Joško Gvardiol without committing significant fouls. Curtis Jones also found the net, though his goal was disallowed for offside, preventing the Total Over from landing. In fact, that match was one of the few recent fixtures where the over did not hit—7 of Liverpool’s last 10 games have seen over 2.5 goals.
Newcastle United, meanwhile, secured a high-scoring win (4:3) over Nottingham Forest, significantly exceeding their usual attacking output. Alexander Isak played a key role, scoring twice, with Newcastle converting four of their five shots on target. However, in their previous visit to the Etihad, they suffered a heavy defeat (4:0)—unlike Liverpool, who managed to beat Manchester City. Does this indicate Newcastle have little chance at Anfield?
That is highly likely. Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 17 home matches, while Newcastle have secured just two draws in their recent visits. We predict a win for Liverpool. However, given their 3:3 draw at St James’ Park earlier this season and last season’s 4:2 result at Anfield, we are also backing Total Over 2.5 goals.
