Everton (home)
- Everton and Newcastle are in similar form at the moment and look tough to split when they face off in the Premier League at Goodison Park on Saturday, which makes this one of the more intriguing Everton vs Newcastle prediction scenarios to consider for the upcoming fixtures.

Newcastle (away)
- The Magpies have won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches in all competitions.

- Newcastle are 14th on 15.
- Newcastle average 0.5 goals away.
