West Brom vs Newcastle Utd Prediction & Betting tips
After two intensive weeks with international games, several games in the national cup competitions are on the program again this week across Europe. In the mother country of football, the round of 16 is contested in the FA Cup. The oldest cup competition enjoys an extremely high reputation and accordingly the games are by no means taken lightly.
Although a team from the Championship and a team from the Premier League are facing each other, the best bookmakers on the market between West Brom and Newcastle see a balanced game according to current odds, even with slight advantages for the underclass team of blackbirds.
Not only the home advantage is decisive, but also the current condition of the two teams. The “Baggies” are well on their way to returning to the Premier League, while the shape curve of the guests from Newcastle is clearly pointing downwards.
Given the shape comparison, a tip on the home side is definitely recommended between West Brom and Newcastle. The game starts on Tuesday at 20 p.m. In our tip category England you can also find the other round of 16 games in the FA Cup.
West Brom:
It is not for nothing that the English championship has the reputation of being the “strongest second division in the world”. It can often be seen that a club is ranked after relegation from the upper house. Football in the second division is characterized by struggle, effort, passion and much more struggle. It is rare for a team to be able to start the “Rise” project immediately after the relegation.
The Baggies failed on this mission only very thinly last season. After fourth place in the championship, West Bromwich Albion failed at Aston Villa in the play-off games. The play-offs should be avoided this season, the direct promotion is the goal.
According to the current status, the team of head coach Slaven Bilic can already cool the champagne. 36 games – in many countries this would have almost completely ended the season – West Brom leads the championship table. The lead over the third in the table, which would mean a play-off place, is currently six points.
The dress rehearsal before the FA Cup duel on Tuesday evening was surprisingly lost. In the home game against relegation candidate Wigan Athletic, it sets a 0-1 home loss. For the Bilic protégés it was the first bankruptcy after six games without defeat (five wins, one draw).
Not only was the defeat surprising this weekend, but also the fact that fans at the Hawthorns saw only one goal. However, caution is advised, because in the competition so far the Bilic-Elf has made two wins with a 1-0 win.
Newcastle:
The relegation battle has been the dominant theme at the club from the north of England in recent years. The fans were by no means happy with the way Mike Ashley ran the club. There have always been rumors of a possible sale – but this has not yet been implemented. Only last weekend there were protests from the fans against the club boss.
After all, in the summer of 2019, money was finally taken in hand to bring the team forward in terms of quality. For a long time it also looked as if the team of head coach Steve Bruce could turn their backs on the relegation battle this season.
However, this is no longer the case. The Bruce Elf is descending and is gradually approaching the threatening zone. As tables-13. the situation is not yet precarious, but the lead to the first relegation zone is now only five meager points. The decisive factor is the deformity of the past few weeks and months. Only one of the last ten Premier League games has been victorious.
The offensive in particular has been in a catastrophic state in recent weeks. The Bruce Elf celebrated their last goal on January 22nd. For more than a month, four competitive games, there has been no sense of achievement in the league. After all, zero could be kept last weekend and at Burnley FC there was a goalless draw after two defeats (against Arsenal and Crystal Palace).
The storm misery was to be solved with Joelinton’s record purchase. However, the former Hoffenheimer has not yet really acclimatized in the Premier League. In 28 appearances, he cheered only one hit. In the end, Joelinton even had to switch to the wing several times.
But not only Joelinton misses any cold sniffing in front of the opposing housing, but the entire team. In 28 Premier League games, Newcastle has only scored 24 goals. Even the ultra-defensive way of playing Crystal Palace was able to celebrate more goals (25) than the Magpies.
