Newcastle v Norwich betting tips and odds
The bottom two teams in the Premier League clash at St James’ Park as we look at some Newcastle v Norwich betting tips.
The Magpies became the sixth different team to go winless in their opening 13 EPL matches, with Derby the only side to avoid relegation.
Norwich head north on the back of a three-game unbeaten run which has put them three points clear of Newcastle.
Match Odds
Eddie Howe was in the Newcastle dugout for the first time at Emirates Stadium after missing the thrilling 3-3 draw at home to Brentford with coronavirus.
The Magpies are 19/20 favourites to finally claim their first win of the campaign and 5/2 to register a fourth draw in six games.
Goals haven’t been an issue at St James’ Park, Howe’s men netting at least twice in four of their six encounters in front of their own fans, with Chelsea the only team to blank them.
It is 19/20 for the home side to score two or more goals in our Newcastle v Norwich betting tips.
Norwich took four points off Newcastle in their previous Premier League campaign and are unbeaten in three matches against the Magpies.
Before the goalless draw when they last met, there had been 28 goals in their previous five encounters.
But Norwich have failed to win on their last 10 trips to St James’ Park in all competitions, their last victory coming in 1988.
They are 14/5 to return to Norfolk with three precious points and, given these sides have the worst defensive records in the division, both teams to score is 7/10.
Talking Tactics
Howe went with a 4-4-2 at Arsenal, with Joelinton joining Callum Wilson up front and Allan Saint-Maximin back on his familiar left-hand side.
They had gone 3-4-3 in their last home game against Brentford and it will be interesting to see whether Howe opts for another attacking approach against the Canaries.
Josh Sargent replaced Todd Cantwell in Norwich’s only change for their goalless draw with Wolves at Carrow Road and the American could well start again.
Norway midfielder Mathias Normann is missing for the Canaries after suffering a recurrence of a pelvic injury, with Lukas Rupp most likely to step in.
Goalscorer Odds
After scoring four times in his first five appearances this season, Wilson has now gone four without one.
But three of his strikes have arrived at St James’ Park and it is 14/5 for him to open the scoring and 21/20 to net at any time in the Newcastle v Norwich betting tips.
Saint-Maximin has registered all three of his goals this season at home and he is 7/1 and 13/5 in the same markets respectively.
Teemu Pukki has scored four of Norwich’s seven Premier League goals this season.
He also has fond memories of playing against Newcastle having scored his only Premier League hat-trick against them in August 2019.
The Finland international is 9/2 to strike first and 9/5 to get on the scoresheet while former Newcastle defender Grant Hanley is 16/1 in the anytime scorer market having grabbed the winner in the recent victory over Southampton.
