Live on Sky Sports 1: Sun 14.05: Newcastle are 19/4 (bwin) to beat Stoke after an even first half in the Premier League.
Newcastle stopped the rot last weekend, picking up their first win of 2015 at Hull and they’re subsequently deemed to be favourites at 13/10 with Stan James to secure another three points at the expense of visiting Stoke, BetVictor’s 12/5 underdogs.
Just a couple of points separate the teams in the table so there’ll inevitably be cash for Skybet’s 23/10 chalked against a stalemate at St James’s Park, where Ladbrokes quote 7/2 about a score draw.
The Magpies have been strong on their own patch this term though, accounting for the likes of leaders Chelsea, Liverpool and Everton so they’ll be confident of getting a result against the Potters.
They’re 9/1 at bet365 to edge out the visitors 2-1, BetVictor quote 14/5 about any United victory by a one-goal margin and it’s 19/4 courtesy of bwin for John Carver’s side to nick it despite an inconclusive first half. Alternatively, Yoan Gouffran, who struck at Hull and also in last term’s corresponding fixture, is 9/1 at bet365 to fire the opener.
