Live on Skysports 1: Sun 12.00: Newcastle (19/20, bet365) can claim the derby spoils against Premier League strugglers Sunderland and Papiss Cisse can strike.
Newcastle have pulled clear of danger after their last-gasp winner against Fulham a week ago but Alan Pardew’s side will be desperate to turn up the heat on struggling rivals Sunderland at St James’ Park.
The Magpies are 19/20 with bet365 to increase the Black Cats’ relegation worries and although the back-to-back stalemates in this fixture will nudge some punters towards the draw at 13/5 (BetVictor), a fifth consecutive home league victory for Newcastle looks the most likely outcome.
Seven of the last nine Tyne-Wear tussles have generated fewer than three goals and this battle is 4/5 with Stan James to follow suit.
Taking that further, it’s 7/1 at BetVictor for the hosts at 7/1 to register a 1-0 triumph and less specifically Ladbrokes chalk the Magpies up at 11/4 to sneak it by a one goal margin.
Papiss Cisse meanwhile, is in smashing form in games in front of the Toon Army having struck in his last five home matches in all competitions and he’s 9/2 via bet365 to pop up with another goal to break the deadlock.
Recommended Bets:
Newcastle to beat Sunderland 1-0 – 7/1 (BetVictor)
Papiss Cisse to score first – 9/2 (bet365)
