Newcastle is coming into this match playing in much better form in their recent matches. They have won 3 of their last 4 matches with no losses in that span. Their 1 draw was away from home in Champions League against AC Milan and their defense has been much better as they have not allowed a goal in their last 4 matches. They are going to have a lot of confidence here as they are coming off of a 1-0 win against Man City in the EFL Cup and their last Premier League match was a huge away win against Sheffield United, beating them 8-0. They are going up against a newly promoted Burnley side that has not been in good form in their recent matches. They are coming off of a win against Salford in the EFL Cup as they have found success in that competition, but in the Premier League they have lost 4 of their 5 matches this season with no wins in that span. They have also lost 3 of their matches by 2 or more goals and they have struggled against top teams in the league as they have allowed at least 3 goals in each of their 3 matches against top 6 opponents this season. Newcastle is only in 8th right now but they were a top 4 team last season and have only improved in the transfer window. Now that they are starting to hit their stride they will be hungry to beat up on another struggling team here at home as they have a lot more quality than Burnley as well. Newcastle will win this match by 2 or more goals, take Newcastle -1.5 here.
England Premier League: Newcastle -1.5, Rot. 200098
