Newcastle v Burnley betting tips: Vital points on the line at St James’ Park

The Clarets extended their unbeaten run to four when playing out a goalless draw with Wolves in midweek and another goalless stalemate is 10/1 in Newcastle v Burnley betting tips. 

However, with  vital points in the relegation scrap up for grabs, a free-flowing game could be on the cards, with both teams to score 7/10.  

Newcastle struck first against Norwich on Tuesday night and it is 17/20 for the Magpies to find the net first, while both sides went into the break at 0-0 in midweek and a goalless first half is 17/10 here. 

Newcastle v Burnley head-to-head 

Newcastle did the double over Burnley last season by scores of 3-1 and 2-1 and the Tyneside faithful would be overjoyed to see a repeat of either of those scorelines.  

You can get 13/4 for a Newcastle victory with both teams scoring this time, while it is 27/10 for a Magpies win and over 2.5 goals in Newcastle v Burnley betting tips.  

Allan Saint-Maximin scored for the Toon in both fixtures versus Burnley last season and he is 8/1 to break the deadlock and 5/1 to be Newcastle’s first goalscorer in the match.  

Newcastle v Burnley key battles 

Howe relied heavily on Callum Wilson for firepower when they worked together at Bournemouth and he could be the man that gives the Burnley back-line most to think about.  

He grabbed his fifth of the season when opening the scoring from the penalty spot against Norwich last time and he is 16/5 to repeat that feat here.  

With the Newcastle back-line yet to keep a clean sheet in the league, then they might need to fight fire with fire to turn around their season.  

Therefore, Wilson, who is responsible for almost a third of Newcastle’s goals so far, may have to strike more than one as he did in this fixture last term. Two or more goals for the 29-year-old is 6/1 in Newcastle v Burnley betting tips.
