Newcastle United vs Liverpool Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Liverpool
- Odds: -109 (Tonybet)
It wouldn’t be a stretch to say Newcastle United have been one of the biggest losers in the summer transfer window ahead of the 2026-27 Premier League season. They lost key players such as Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali, they saw manager Eddie Howe resign in the middle of the preseason, and they haven’t solved the attacking woes they had in 2025-26. The Magpies’ prognosis for 2026-27 isn’t encouraging.
Liverpool also have a new manager in town, as Andoni Iraola replaced Arne Slot in the summer, and the Spanish tactician will look to carry the Reds to a victory in the opener. That looks like a real possibility, as the Reds are undefeated in their last 13 Premier League openers (W10, D3), and Iraola hasn’t lost in any of his six top-flight meetings against Newcastle United in his career (W3, D3).
The Anfield side also holds a clear edge in the head-to-head department, as they’ve gone undefeated in their last 19 league games against Newcastle across all competitions (W14, D5). Seemingly everything is trending in the right direction for Liverpool and going sideways for the hosts, so a Liverpool win looks like the clear outcome here.
Newcastle United vs Liverpool Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Florian Wirtz over 0.5 shots on target
- Odds: +100 (Tonybet)
By his own lofty standards, Wirtz had a disappointing debut season at Liverpool. He notched five goals and three assists in 33 league outings, but he should be far more dangerous this season now that he’s fully settled in England.
Operating in the classical No. 10 role, Wirtz should wreak havoc against a weakened Newcastle midfield, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he tests the keeper early and often. We’re backing the German international to shoot on target at least once, something he did in 15 of his 33 EPL appearances.
Newcastle United vs Liverpool Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Liverpool to win + Over 3.5 goals + Both teams to score
- Odds: +290 (Tonybet)
We’re backing Liverpool to win this match, but this game should be quite open with plenty of chances at both ends. Despite Newcastle’s attacking issues, Liverpool’s defensive problems from last season give the hosts a route to a goal of their own, making a scenario where both teams score look likely. That has happened in six of the last seven head-to-head meetings.
Matches between these two clubs have also had plenty of goals, and the two league meetings in the 2025-26 campaign cleared the over on the 3.5-goal market with ease. That has also been the case in four of the last five H2H EPL matches, supporting the case for a high-scoring, back-and-forth Liverpool win.
Newcastle United vs Liverpool Team News
Newcastle United Team News
The Magpies will be down two key starters for this Premier League opener, as Joelinton is dealing with an undisclosed injury and Tino Livramento is sidelined with a calf problem. Livramento could be ready to return for the next match at Tottenham Hotspur on August 29, but Joelinton should be sidelined until mid-September at the earliest.
Adding to Newcastle’s injury concerns, Dan Burn and Lewis Miley are both carrying questionable tags due to undisclosed injuries. Burn’s absence could be problematic given how important he is for the defensive line.
Liverpool Team News
Liverpool could be considerably depleted ahead of this fixture and are already missing Hugo Ekitike (Achilles), Joe Gomez (strain) and Conor Bradley (knee). Ekitike will miss several months and isn’t expected back until January at the earliest. The list of potential absences also includes Curtis Jones (hip), Giovanni Leoni (knee) and Stefan Bajcetic (hamstring), though neither would’ve started even if healthy.
Elsewhere, expect Alexander Isak to lead the attack for Liverpool in place of the injured Ekitike, while new signing Ronald Araujo should start next to Virgil van Dijk at the heart of the defensive line.
