Everton is coming into this match with a trend to the under in their recent matches. They have gone under 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 6 Premier League matches. They have also been much worse at home all season as they are 1-1-5 there while scoring just 5 goals in their 7 home matches and allowing 9 goals in those. They are going up against a Newcastle side that has also been trending to the under in their recent matches. They have gone under 2.5 goals in their last 2 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 matches. When playing away from home, they have gone under 2.5 goals in their last 3 straight and their attack has not been good in those as they have scored just 1 goal in their last 3 away matches. Everton has been in much better form recently and they will be trying to take advantage of this weakened Newcastle squad with all of their injuries, but that will start with having a good defensive effort against them here at home. Newcastle has also been struggling to score more in their away matches but their defense has been holding up well and considering how they do not have a lot of depth, they will also be playing defensively to try and steal a low scoring win away from home here. This is going to be a low scoring and defensive match that stays under 2.5 goals.
