Newcastle take on the visitors Burnley in the round 7 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, September 30th at St. James Park (Newcastle).
Newcastle might not be competing for the championship title, but the team is quite capable of staying in the top 5. Currently, the team is in excellent form. They defeated Manchester City 1-0 in the cup last week and also had a good start in the Champions League, drawing 0-0 with Milan. Newcastle has been performing well in the domestic league, beating Brentford 1-0 and demolishing Sheffield 8-0. It's clear that in the upcoming match, the hosts have a good chance of securing a confident victory, and even a big one. Yes, Newcastle had a tough time against strong opponents, losing three consecutive matches to top teams, making it difficult to compete for medals. However, when it comes to matches against second-tier opponents, Eddie Howe's team has been consistently strong and reliable. In this match, they can certainly earn three points in a convincing manner.

Burnley, on the other hand, has struggled at the start of the season and has yet to find its footing in the Premier League. While Burnley have faced tough opponents in the early part of the season, the upcoming game won't be any easier. Newcastle are currently a strong force in the league, and Burnley will naturally aim to secure three points against the underdog. Burnley may have to wait for easier opponents to accumulate points and climb out of the bottom of the table. So far, they have been conceding a lot of goals and have not shown much promise. There doesn't seem to be much intrigue in this match.
Naturally, the odds for a home win in this match are quite low, and it's a decision that most bettors would agree with. Newcastle has had no problems at the start of the season in matches against lower-tier opponents. Considering Burnley's significant defensive issues, the hosts are capable of securing a comfortable victory. So, consider the handicap (-1.5) on Newcastle as a betting option.
Prediction for the match: Newcastle to win with -1.5 handicap.
