Newcastle vs Burton Albion Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips: Newcastle to take three home points against Burton to aid title charge
Newcastle come into this game top of the Championship table, but second-placed Brighton are breathing down their neck just a point behind the Magpies. Burton, meanwhile, are climbing to safety at the other end of the scale.
Match Preview
Both teams have only lost one of their last six league matches, with the pair of them pursuing very different goals. Burton have climbed up to 19th place as a result, while Newcastle are 10 points clear of third-placed Huddersfield.
- - Reading 0-0 Newcastle
- - Newcastle 1-3 Fulham
- - Birmingham 0-0 Newcastle
- - Newcastle 2-1 Wigan
The hosts have won just one of their last four league games, and recently lost to Fulham 3-1 at St. James’ Park. Burton are a potential banana peel, but with the quality that Rafa Benitez has available to him, a return to form should be swift.
The visitors recently did the Magpies a favour, beating Huddersfield 1-0 away from home, and they have managed to keep clean sheet in two of their last three games. The underdogs cannot be underestimated.
- - Sheff Wed 1-1 Burton
- - Burton 1-0 Forest
- - Burton 3-5 Brentford
- - Huddersfield 0-1 Burton
Newcastle vs Burton Albion Prediction and Betting Advice
Dwight Gayle has 22 goals for the season already, with Newcastle also benefitting from 10 goals from wide man Matt Ritchie. Burton’s top scorer is Australia international midfielder Jackson Irvine, who has recently scored in consecutive games for club and country.
Burton have been much-improved lately, with their form helping them clamber on their way to safety, but Newcastle’s home form has never wavered for too long this campaign.
