Newcastle United Betting Odds
Newcastle United Betting Odds
From nearly being relegated just a few years ago to their current position, Newcastle United have had one of the fastest Premier League rises following the PIF takeover. St James' Park looks to be a fortress once again as Newcastle sit as the powerhouse of North East football. Historically, Newcastle are one of the most successful teams in English football but in recent history, they've performed incredibly poorly on the trophy hunt. Could that end in the 2024/25 season?
In their hunt for progression, the Magpies have hit stumbling blocks in recent months with PSR restrictions and also had an incredible injury list last season, in a season which ended without European qualification following Manchester United's victory in the FA Cup, could Newcastle bounce back this season? Be sure to check out our Newcastle United betting odds for the current season.
Newcastle United Premier League Betting
Despite their upturn in form, winning the Premier League is well out of the grasp of Newcastle United. That is often reserved for teams such as Manchester City and Liverpool; however, Newcastle have shown that in individual games, they can hang with the bigger teams in the league and it looks likely that those in St James' Park will be celebrating more than they'll be commiserating. Newcastle haven't won the top league in England for a very long time and it'll likely be another 5-6 years before we see Newcastle challenging for the title.
So, what looks obtainable for Newcastle in the current season? Newcastle have defied the odds and are currently challenging for the top four while they were expected to be battling the likes of West Ham and Aston Villa for the 'best of the rest' title. Both Newcastle and Villa have broken the top four in recent years.
Many think that a Champions League position is beyond Newcastle this season but their performances have indicated that Eddie Howe's side are right to have lofty expectations, one thing is for certain, you won't find them as favourites in the relegation betting market anytime soon.
Newcastle United EFL Cup Betting
In Newcastle's first full season with Eddie Howe at the helm, they reached the EFL Cup final in the 2022/23 season beating Premier League opposition in Crystal Palace, AFC Bournemouth, Leicester City and Southampton on their way to the final.
Last season, wasn't as successful losing out to Chelsea on penalties in the EFL Cup after beating Manchester City and Manchester United in the competition. The 'luck of the draw' certainly wasn't in Newcastle's favour last season. However, with favourable draws this year, it could be Newcastle's year to end that trophy drought.
Newcastle United FA Cup Betting
Historically, Newcastle United's record in the FA Cup has been abysmal. In-fact, you could argue that they are the most underperforming club in recent history. Since their semi-final defeat to Manchester United in 2004/05, they have only made it beyond the fifth round on two occasions, losing to Chelsea and Manchester City in those games. The FA Cup seems to be a cursed competition for the Magpies. It is a trophy Newcastle could win but they will have to go against their form in the competition next year.
Newcastle United In Europe
For a club that has struggled in cup competitions, Newcastle have played in Europe a surprising number of times in the 2000's. Three spells in the UEFA Cup/Europa League and to in the Champions League. Their latest European campaign before the shock 2023/24 campaign came in the 2012/13 season where they were beating in the Europa League by eventual finalists Benfica.
It is believed that Newcastle United may push into the Champions or Europa Leagues in the upcoming season after a decent showing in the competition last year in the group of death. However, they will need to prove that they can maintain it over the whole season rather than just over a small period.
Newcastle United Transfer betting
After signing Alexander Isak for a club record fee a few seasons back many expected Newcastle United to go on a massive spending spree and we would start seeing world class superstars in a black and white striped kit. Think as highly of Bruno Guimaraes as you wish but he wasn't quite what many were expecting on paper, in reality, he may be better but that speaks volumes about the transfer policy at Newcastle United at the moment. Most of the players they have brought in are young, talented players such as the previously aforementioned Isak, Sven Botman and Anthony Gordon with the latter being one of the stand-out talents in the league last season.
Newcastle aren't going to splash the cash on an ageing player but they have shown that if they can get a player experienced in English Football for the right price, they'll bring him to the North East.
Next Newcastle Manager Betting
It looks incredibly unlikely that Eddie Howe will be leaving St James' Park anytime soon. However, he does sit as the pre-season favourite for the next manager to be sacked. This is due to the England role being vacated by Gareth Southgate and despite Lee Carsley taking the role on an interim basis, many believe that if Eddie Howe and Newcastle start the season slowly, Howe could be tempted by the England role.
Betting on Goalscorers at Newcastle United
Newcastle United were one of the best goalscoring teams in the league last season but they were also poor defensively given their usual high stands. Injuries to Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson were almost aptly timed for Newcastle as when one player got injured, the other was returning to fitness. However, unlike in previous seasons, they had more help from their wingers than in previous years with Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimaraes getting their record goal totals last season.
Betting on Cards in Newcastle United games
Newcastle United are tough to beat in the Premier League but that's mainly because they win the mental battle with the vast majority of teams in the league. Expect games including Newcastle and a top 6 team to feature many yellow cards but against teams lower in the table, especially at St James' Park, Newcastle will be the team who receive more yellow cards if the opposition can hold them for most of the game.
