Five defeats and 33conceded goals. Newcastle United achieved this proud record in the Premier League last season. Now 29 games in 2023/24 are over, but it is already clear. Тhings are going differently, completely differently. The Magpies have already suffered twelve defeats and the defense has conceded a whopping 51 goals. Sixth place is still within reach and seems to be the goal for the rest of the season. 18 of the last 20 direct games between those two had a winner, so both teams obviously always take full risks here and although Everton are in a relegation battle, the bookies see that things will be very close on Tuesday. The last win was on 16th December and since then there have been five draws and seven defeats. With 30 goals they have the second worst defense, after all it makes little difference whether the game is played at home or away. |
