Everton vs Newcastle
5th October
kick off 17:30 Over 9.5 Corners Bruno Guimaraes To Be Fouled 2+ Times Anthony Gordon To Have 2+ Shots Dwight McNeil To Have 2+ Shots
in this article
Leg 1: Over 9.5 Corners
Corners have been in plentiful supply in matches involving these two teams so far this season. Newcastle fixtures average a massive 13.17 corners and Everton games a hefty 10.50. Both teams have been conceding corners at an alarming rate.
This is the type of match in which set pieces could make the difference so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the teams actually specifically look at trying to win corners where possible. The tactical setup from both leads itself to putting in plenty of blocks to crosses which is why the corner count has been so high at the other end of the field.
Adding over 9.5 corners to your bet builder looks like a solid option given the track record of these two sides.
Leg 2: Bruno Guimaraes to be fouled 2+ Times
Tenacious midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has been a complete foul magnet this season and drawn a massive four fouls per 90 mins in the Premier League. This is probably an unsustainable rate but there is no doubt that he is a tricky customer who attracts attention and is no stranger to a few midfield scuffles.
Bruno himself averages 1.50 fouls per 90 mins and can wind up opponents, goading them into retaliation. Newcastle should be facing the likes of Abdoulaye Doucoure, Idrissa Gueye or Orel Mangala in the Everton midfield, all of whom average over one foul per game. Taking Bruno to be fouled at least twice looks like a safe bet builder addition. It’s only half of his seasonal average and he has been a reliable foul magnet in recent years.
Last season in the Premier League he drew 2.92 fouls per 90 mins so the current stats are no fluke.
Leg 3: Anthony Gordon to have 2+ Shots
Former Everton man Anthony Gordon is sure to get a hostile reception at Goodison Park. He is not a well liked man in these parts of Merseyside but is the sort of character who will want to prove a point. Gordon only averages 1.20 shots per 90 mins so far this season, but that figure should grow as the year progresses.
He should become one of the key pieces in this Toon attack and will be buoyed by scoring from the penalty spot last week vs Man City. With Alexander Isak still doubtful and Callum Wilson injured, he should retain penalty duty but there is also more expectation on Gordon to lead the line. He should play in the striker role here and taking him to have two or more shots looks like a good option in this particular matchup.
He should get the opportunities but will also be desperate to score which could ramp up his shot attempts.
Leg 4: Dwight mcneil to have 2+ Shots
The most important attacker in this Everton team is arguably Dwight McNeil who is their leading scorer and assist provider this season. McNeil bagged a recent brace of goals against Palace last week so his tail should be up and confidence high. He averages 1.80 shots per 90 mins so far this campaign and taking him to match that with at least two attempts looks like a decent piece to any Everton vs Newcastle bet builder.
The visitors have conceded an average of 17.50 shots per game this season, the third most of any side in the Premier League. McNeil will get his chances and is not shy about taking a shot in a good position. Everton should kick on from their win last week and the feeling around Goodison will be much better overall.
Fans will be encouraging players and after his goals in the previous fixture there will be excitement when McNeil is on the ball to deliver.
