Trueform shows exactly how well football teams have been playing, helping you to spot potential value bets. See who has performed above expectations and which teams are being underestimated by oddsmakers.
Our Trueform chart clearly illustrates how Stoke and Newcastle have followed similar paths in terms of their recent Premier League results.
Both teams have been finding goals and points hard to come by and the obvious conclusion is to expect a tight, cagey contest when they come together.
We’re happy to side with 23/10 for a draw in our Stoke vs Newcastle betting predictions.
Stoke boss Mark Hughes is hoping his decision to rest key players for Saturday’s trip to Chelsea will pay dividend after that move resulted in a 5-0 thrashing at Stamford Bridge.
Xherdan Shaqiri, Joe Allen and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting were among those on the bench, with 18-year-old duo Tom Edwards and Josh Tymon handed rare starts in defence.
“I made decisions I feel will help us with the game we have on Monday,” Hughes said.
“We rested players carrying knocks who will be fresh and ready to go. The decisions weren’t easy but they were decisions I was prepared to make.”
The Potters had previously beaten West Brom 3-1 here and drew 1-1 at Huddersfield, so Hughes will be keen to recapture that form.
However, the Magpies beat them at St James’ Park in September and 18/5 for the scores to be level at half-time and full-time appeals from the Stoke vs Newcastle odds.
Newcastle crept to within a point of Stoke after a goalless stalemate with fellow new boys Brighton on home turf.
Rafael Benitez also rotated his squad on Saturday, making seven changes to the side that lost 1-0 to Manchester City.
The Spaniard admitted he had seen the clash with the Seagulls as a winnable game, but added: “If you cannot win, always it’s important that you are strong in defence and you do not give them too many chances.”
That attitude is sure to be applied again here and we’re taking 21/4 for a cagey 1-1 stalemate in our Stoke vs Newcastle betting tips.
