Liverpool take on the visitors Newcastle in the round 24 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, January 31st at Anfield (Liverpool).
Liverpool clearly had different plans for this season. The Reds could have faced problems in 2024/2025 after Klopp’s departure — yet they ended up winning the title. In the summer they also spent hundreds of millions on reinforcements. And then they completely collapsed in the autumn. They kept losing to Crystal Palace in every possible competition, including the Super Cup and the League Cup, and there were plenty of similar setbacks. Later on, they more or less managed to stabilize their performances and results — both in domestic cups and in the Champions League, where they posted the third-best overall record and comfortably reached the playoffs. However, in the Premier League it is already obvious that catching the top three is unrealistic, so the focus is on finishing fourth or fifth to retain a Champions League spot. That will not be easy for a team that failed to score against newly promoted outsiders Burnley, a result that even triggered boos from the fans, and conceded a decisive stoppage-time goal after coming back from 0–2 against Bournemouth. Overall form remains inconsistent, with promising stretches followed by sudden drops in intensity. Recent league results suggest that Liverpool are still searching for stability rather than building a clear upward trend.

Newcastle enjoyed a successful previous season. They won their first trophy in many years, even if it came in the form of the League Cup. In the Premier League, they also managed to edge into fifth place on tiebreakers. As a result, they returned to the Champions League and, while not as dominant as some domestic rivals, still reached the playoffs. They also made it to the League Cup semifinals, although they lost the first home leg 0–2. In the Premier League, after a difficult start, progress gradually followed, allowing them to climb back into the European qualification zone. They even managed to beat Wolverhampton, although they then suffered a clear 0–2 home defeat to Aston Villa. Newcastle’s recent performances indicate a team that is becoming harder to play against week by week. While not flawless, their overall trajectory has been more positive than negative.
In the last ten meetings, the Reds have won eight times, suffering just one defeat. This fixture is unlikely to deliver a spectacular show. The safer option looks to be a bet on under 3.0 total goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
