Newcastle vs Liverpool Betting Odds
7bet offers competitive odds for all Premier League matches, including this fixture.
Please note that the odds are accurate as of the publishing time of the article. Make sure to check the latest odds before placing a bet.
1X2 Odds
| Newcastle (1) | X | Liverpool (2) |
| 5/2 | 8/3 | 11/13 |
The 1X2 betting market is one of the simplest and most popular wagers in football betting markets. Here, bettors have to pick one out of three possible outcomes:
- 1: Newcastle wins
- X: Draw
- 2: Liverpool wins
UK sportsbooks use fractional odds. The denominator is the bet amount, and the numerator is the expected return. If you examine the Newcastle vs Liverpool betting odds for the 1×2 market, the odds are 5/2 for Newcastle, 8/3 for a draw, and 11/13 for Liverpool. This means that bettors can win £5 for every £2 for correctly predicting Newcastle’s win. Your betting amount, also known as the stake, is returned if your bet is successful. So, the total payout becomes £5+£2, i.e., £7.
Similarly, a successful bet on Liverpool yields £11 for every £13, and correctly predicting a draw pays £8 for every £3.
Bets that pay low returns are said to have “short” odds. These odds are usually assigned to stronger teams as they are expected to win. Bets on underdogs usually have “long” odds, which pays a high return.
However, bettors shouldn’t rely only on the odds for their analysis. Make sure to research both teams’ form, injuries, and lineup before placing your bets.
Double Chance
| Newcastle or Draw | Newcastle or Liverpool | Draw or Liverpool |
| 11/14 | 1/4 | 1/4 |
This is a variation of the 1×2 market, where bettors can pick two outcomes out of three:
- Newcastle or Draw
- Newcastle or Liverpool
- Draw or Liverpool
Your chances of winning in this market are high since you are allowed to cover two out of three outcomes. However, as a result, your payout becomes lower compared to 1X2. Consider this market if you believe it will be a tight contest, and predicting the result will be difficult. However, if one team appears to have a clear edge over the other, the 1×2 market offers better value.
Check both teams’ win-loss-draw record in the last 10 matches. Liverpool had four wins, four losses and two draws in this period, while Newcastle had three wins, four losses, and three draws in the same period.
Handicap Betting Odds
| Newcastle (+0.5) | Liverpool (-0.5) |
| 20/23 | 4/5 |
| Newcastle (+1.75) | Liverpool (-1.75) |
| 1/4 | 27/10 |
| Newcastle (-0.75) | Liverpool (+0.75) |
| 33/10 | 4/21 |
When two teams appear to be unevenly matched, bookmakers add a “handicap” or a disadvantage for the stronger team. This is done to encourage bettors to bet on both teams. The handicap adds points to the weaker team’s final goal tally. The same number of points is deducted from the stronger team. Bettors are free to pick how many points they want to add/subtract to the final score by adjusting the betting line on 7bet’s betting page.
For example, you select a handicap of (+/-) 0.75 and the final score is 0–1. After adjusting the handicap, the final score will be read as 0.75–0.25, meaning bets on the losing team win.
Here are some examples of how positive and negative handicaps work for this fixture:
- Newcastle (+0.5) / Liverpool (-0.5): Bets on Newcastle win in case of a draw.
- Newcastle (+1.75) / Liverpool (-1.75): Bets on Newcastle win, if they win, draw or lose by 3 goals as a score of 0–3 will be adjusted to 1.75–1.25. Liverpool will need to win with a 4-goal lead to overcome the gap.
- Newcastle (-0.75) / Liverpool (+0.75): Bets on Liverpool win if they win, draw, or lose by one goal as a score of 1–0 gets adjusted to 0.25–0.75.
Both Teams to Score (BTTS Odds)
| Yes | No |
| 5/11 | 17/11 |
In their last 10 matches, Liverpool kept two clean sheets (opposition score zero) while Newcastle kept one. Moreover, Liverpool scored in every match, while Newcastle failed to score in one.
Use this data when looking at the Newcastle vs Liverpool odds in the BTTS market. Here, bettors only need to consider one aspect of the game – whether both teams will net the ball at least once during the match.
“Yes” bets win as long as the final score is at least 1–1. BTTS “No” bets win where there is a zero in the final score like 1–0, 2–0, 0–0, etc. If either one or both teams fail to score, the “No” bets win.

Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
| Over 3.5 | Under 3.5 |
| 11/10 | 4/6 |
This market is better known as Over/Under or O/U. Here, punters predict the combined goal total. For example, the match ends 3–1. The final goal total is four.
For this fixture, the goal total betting line can be adjusted from 2 to 5. The default betting line is fixed at 3.5 goals combined. If you believe the goal total in this match will be lower than 3.5, select the “Under” bet. Here, final scores like 2–1, 2–0. 1–1, 3–0 win. Your bet wins even if the match ends in a draw of 1–1, 0–0.
Select “Over” 3.5 if you believe we will see a high scoring match on Sunday.
In their last 10 matches, Liverpool averaged 2.0 goals per match. Its highest goal tally during this period was four (against Sunderland in a Friendlies match). Newcastle averaged 1.4 goals in the same time. This brings their combined average total to 3.4, which is slightly under the 3.5 betting line. Use this data when looking at the Newcastle vs Liverpool odds in this football betting market.
Correct Score Odds
| Correct Score Bet | Newcastle vs Liverpool Odds |
| 0–0 | 20/1 |
| 1–0 | 16/1 |
| 1–1 | 7/1 |
| 0–1 | 11/1 |
| 2–0 | 25/1 |
| 0–2 | 11/1 |
| 2–2 | 10/1 |
Predict who will win the match and what the exact score will be at the final whistle. Note that this is a risky bet as it involves a fair bit of luck. This market gives high returns due to the risk. If you have a bit of a budget to splurge, you can take two more variations of this bet. First is the Correct Score XL market, where the payout can go as high as 250/1, and the second is predicting the halftime/full-time correct score. However, if you are new to betting we suggest avoiding this market as predicting the exact score can be difficult.
