Newcastle United form and stats

There's been little loot from Newcastle United's travels as they have only collected 13 points from 13 away games in the Premier League. Newcastle United only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 4 draws. Newcastle has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Two trips in a row for Newcastle United, whose manager Howe could celebrate last time after the win against Southampton. Defender Targett was the best team player with a rating of 8.04. Targett hit two key passes and won 9 of 10 duels.

That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus Brighton & Hove Albion.

You'll want to know how Newcastle United managed when outsiders such as today. Our database found seven similar matches resulting in one away win, one draw and five home wins.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Newcastle United manager Howe as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Everton.

The attacking power of Newcastle when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 13 league matches away. Newcastle United's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 22 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

These opponents have fought before this season: Newcastle United - Chelsea 0-3. Head to head totals (for the preceeding ten meetings): Chelsea won eight games, zero matches ended with a draw and Newcastle United have two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: six / four
