Live on Skysports 1: Fri 16.30: Euro-hopefuls Newcastle look overpriced at 2/1 (Boylesports) ahead of their Premier League trip to Swansea.
Newcastle are level on points with Chelsea and just five points adrift of the top four following their victory, against the odds, over Liverpool yet they are Boylesports’ 2/1 outsiders ahead of the trip to Swansea, BetVictor’s 6/4 favourites.
The pair shared the spoils at St James’ Park back in December, a result bet365 offer at 5/2 this time around and another goalless affair is available at 9/1 with Skybet, however, the Magpies line up at the Liberty Stadium having carded three straight wins while the Swans have suffered back-to-back defeats so the formbook perhaps points to Alan Pardew’s men.
Nevertheless, the hosts tend to be strong on their own patch meaning that a close encounter seems inevitable and Ladbrokes chalk a generous 9/2 against a Newcastle triumph by a one-goal margin in South Wales.
In terms of goals, the potential for a tight affair lends appeal to Stan James’ 8/11 for the clash to produce fewer than three and following his brace against Liverpool last weekend, Papiss Cisse will undoubtedly attract cash at 13/2 (BetVictor) to fire the opener. Bet365 rate the Magpies front man at a tasty 21/10 to notch at any stage.
Recommended Bets:
Papiss Cisse to score first – 13/2 (BetVictor)
