Newcastle - West Brom Prediction, Picks and Tips

The English Premier League is more balanced this season than it has been for a long time. After eleven match days, there are just six points between sixth and 15th place. With a small series, a big leap forward is accordingly possible. The current table-13. Newcastle receive newly promoted West Brom and could orient themselves further forward with a win. The Magpies are in the middle of this crowd and also have the advantage of having a game to catch up on. With a home win on Saturday against the Baggies, the Bruce-Elf could orientate towards the top half of the table. Although the home side have a much better season and enjoy home rights, surprisingly high odds are offered by the best bookmakers for the home win between Newcastle and West Brom.

Several players and coaches tested positive at the Magpies last week and the home game against Aston Villa had to be postponed. After this forced break, Steve Bruce's team will be back in play this weekend. With a catch-up game in hand, the team ranks 13th in the current table. With a win in the catch-up game, the team from the north of England would even be level on points with eighth place in the table, West Ham United. So the conclusion is positive, especially when you consider that the Magpies could hardly work in peace this summer due to the possible sale. The outstanding player in the Bruce-Elf this season is the English team player Callum Wilson. The newcomer from relegated Bournemouth convinced from the start and has already scored seven goals and provided two assists this season. With nine goal participations, Wilson was involved in 75% of all goals of the Magpies (twelve goals) and has also equalized his scorer yield from the previous year. In addition, Wilson scored the decisive goal in all four wins of the season. In a home game against a newcomer, the claim should be a complete success in any case. But Newcastle head coach Steve Bruce has by no means a good record against newly promoted players. In total, he has already played 64 such games in his career and celebrated only 23 wins, while he had to admit defeat 28 times.

With the former Croatian national coach Slaven Bilic, West Bromwich Albion managed to return directly to the English upper house of football in the second year after relegation. Due to a weak phase at the end of the season, there was a lot of trembling announced, in the end the direct ascent was a wafer-thin one. The cheers over the return to the Premier League were understandably huge, but with four games without a win at the end, the euphoria was a little subdued. The fans should be right about their concerns, because the Bilic-Elf has to deal with the tough relegation battle from the start. Eleven league games have been played so far, only the relegation crash against the still winless Sheffield United could be won 1-0, otherwise there are only three draws on the credit side, seven games were lost. The Baggies have not scored a goal in six league games (as the only team) and of all Premier League teams have conceded the most goals (23), the most expected goals (22.2), the most shots on goal (167) and most shots on goal admitted to the case (68). After all, the competition also regularly drops points and thus the gap to the saving bank is only one point. The many setbacks in recent weeks have left their mark. This became clear last weekend when ex-Nuremberg Matheus Pereira (last year with eight goals and 20 assists the guarantee of success) burned the fuses and he was sent off after 34 minutes. Four minutes after the equalizer, he did his team a disservice. In the end, there was a heavy 5-1 defeat in the home game against the Eagles from Crystal Palace and the positive feeling after the first win of the season on the previous day has vanished again. The momentum does not speak for the home side and the lack of quality of Pereira will also make itself felt.
