Newcastle United 0-1 Everton

Current streaks

Recent form

Newcastle United

Newcastle United's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches. The Magpies have shown impressive attacking prowess, scoring 12 goals in this period, including a notable 5-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace. However, their defence has been vulnerable at times, conceding four goals in a heavy defeat to Aston Villa. Newcastle have managed to keep three clean sheets in their last six games, demonstrating their ability to shut out opponents when on form. The team's goal difference of +6 over this period is positive, but their inability to string together more than two consecutive wins suggests room for improvement in consistency. Despite the mixed results, Newcastle's current 4th position in the league table with 66 points from 37 games indicates a strong overall season performance.

Everton

Everton have shown a mixed run of form in their recent fixtures, currently sitting 13th in the Premier League with 45 points from 37 games. The Toffees have demonstrated resilience, winning three of their last six matches, including back-to-back victories in their most recent outings against Southampton and Fulham. Defensively, Everton have been relatively solid, conceding only six goals in their last six games and keeping two clean sheets. Their goal-scoring record has been modest, netting 1.33 goals per game on average. Interestingly, two-thirds of their recent matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs. The team's ability to bounce back from consecutive losses against Chelsea and Manchester City with two wins is a positive sign for Everton as they approach the end of the season.

Recent home/away form

Newcastle United

Newcastle United have been in sensational form at St James' Park, boasting an impressive five-match winning streak in the Premier League. The Magpies have been particularly ruthless in front of goal, netting an astonishing 16 times in their last four home league fixtures, including a 5-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace and a convincing 4-1 victory over Manchester United. Their defensive record has been equally commendable, with three clean sheets in their last six home games. The only blemish on their recent home record came in a narrow 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Brighton, but this hasn't dampened their league form. With an average of 2.83 goals scored per game and just 0.67 conceded, Newcastle have been treating their home fans to high-scoring, entertaining football, with 83% of their recent matches featuring over 2.5 goals.

Everton

Everton's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the Toffees showing resilience on the road despite their mid-table position. In their last six away matches, Everton have managed two wins, two draws, and two losses, demonstrating a level of consistency in their performances. The team have been defensively solid, conceding only 0.83 goals per game and keeping one clean sheet during this period. Notably, Everton's matches have been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their away games featuring under 2.5 goals. Their most impressive result came in their most recent away fixture, a 3-1 victory against Fulham, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in this run. Despite their 13th position in the league, Everton have shown they can be competitive away from home, with both teams scoring in half of these matches and the Toffees maintaining a positive goal difference of +1 across these six games.
