Newcastle United hosts West Bromwich Albion in round 12 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, December 12th at St. James' Park (Newcastle)
Newcastle is doing quite well in the tournament distance. Yes, the lag behind the Eurocup zone is quite large, but the Magpies still have a match in reserve. If we consider it a winning one, then the gap to the fourth position would be only four points. By the way, the predictions for Newcastle were accurate in the last round. The Magpies went to visit the uncompromising Crystal Palace and gained a victory (0:2). According to the score, it turns out that the victory was confident, but the match was mostly equal, and the Magpies scored both of their goals in the last minutes of normal time.

West Bromwich is doing much worse than Newcastle. Having scored six points, Albion shares 18-19 places with Burnley in the relegation zone. Moreover, the Clarets have a match in reserve. However, the Throstles are only one point behind Fulham, which takes a 17th place that allows remaining in the English Premier League. In order to stay in the Premier League, the teams need to score points, but West Bromwich is experiencing obvious difficulties with this - bets on its defeats were accurate in four of the last five matches. Yes, there was one minimal home victory over the weakest team of the tournament, Sheffield United (1:0). But after that, Albion immediately suffered a home romp from Crystal Palace (1:5).
It is noteworthy that Newcastle did not play in the 11th round, and its last rival was Crystal Palace, with which West Bromwich played its last game. And it is very significant that the Magpies beat the Eagles away (0:2), while Albion suffered a 1:5 home defeat from them. These results clearly show the difference in the level of teams. Therefore, Newcastle United is deservedly considered a favorite in the home game with such a weak opponent. And we think the hosts will score at least two goals.
Prediction for the match: Newcastle to score over 1.5 goals
