Liverpool take on the visitors Newcastle Utd at “Anfield” in the round 29 of the English Premier League. The game will be played on Saturday, March 3rd.
Liverpool have recaptured their best competitive form. At the moment the club is sitting on the third place in the elite division table with 57 points gained after 28 matchdays behind. Besides, “The Reds” have thrashed FC Porto 0:5 in the first-leg battle of the 1/8 final stage of the UEFA Champions League after which the second-leg clash has become simply a formality. The team’ offense looks fantastic, having scored 65 goals already unlike its defense which faces certain difficulties, resulted in 32 goals conceded. It should be noted that the side’s unbeaten run counts for five encounters so far. “The Merseysiders” have not lost a single home fight within the Premier League in this season, having earned eight triumphs and six draws in 14 tackles.

Newcastle Utd deserve rare defeats lately but they are still sitting in the dangerous zone and the reason for that is in too many draws gained. But what is more important “The Magpies” pass the victories to their opponents too often. They lead the score but cannot hold the advantage which is typical for the underdog. If the side had managed to hold the wins in the fights against Burnley, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace, they would have settles on the ninth place now, but instead they stay under a risk of appearing in the relegation zone. All those spoilt opportunities affect the team spirit which will be so needed in the forthcoming battles at “Anfield” as last time Newcastle Utd gained a victory at that stadium in 1994, having collected four draws and 17 defeats there since then.
32 goals were combined in last seven encounters conducted “Anfield” which makes up on average 4.57 goals per fight. The hosts are quite able to score 3-4 goals in the upcoming tackle as their forwards are stay a terrific shape now. In their turn, Newcastle Utd have scored in five latest games played on the road. Besides, taking into account that Liverpool have not lost in front of their supporters in this season yet while “The Magpies” lost five out five away clashes against the clubs from the upper part of the table, I have no doubts that Jurgen Klopp’s side will succeed on Saturday.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win. Over 2.5 scored goals.
