Newcastle are in terrible shape right now, having lost their last four matches and drawn the one before that. They just can't seem to find a win. Everton are in slightly better form, with a win, two draws, and two losses from their last five games, so they are a bit more stable. Looking at recent meetings between these two, there have been plenty of goals. The last three matches all ended with three or more goals, including a 2-3 Newcastle win and a 1-4 Newcastle win, so when they play each other, things tend to get open.

Given Newcastle's collapse in form and Everton being the more steady side right now, this match looks like it could be close, but not in Newcastle's favor. Everton should be able to take advantage of Newcastle's poor run and come away with a win here. It likely won't be a boring game, as these teams usually score against each other, but Everton seem the more likely winners.
