Newcastle United form and stats

3 victories, 4 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Newcastle United have to build on here at St James' Park in the Premier League.

In their previous game, the manager S. Bruce led his Newcastle United to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Burnley. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at St James' Park. Before that, Newcastle United had a home game versus Southampton which ended with a victory 2-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Newcastle United perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Newcastle United as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Newcastle United has won 4 of these, drawn 3 and lost 5.

The Newcastle United fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 8 matches. From these home matches, Newcastle United have conceded only 7 goals.
