Newcastle United vs. Liverpool

  • Carson A. Merk: Win
  • I know this one will look like a surprise, but Newcastle United played the eventual champions earlier this season and they can defeat a rotated Liverpool squad.
  • Durim Halimi: Loss
  • As much as I hope Carson’s prediction is correct, I do not see the Magpies causing an upset. If Liverpool take their foot off the pedal by deploying a weaker lineup then my prediction changes, but their main lineup is too much for Bruce’s men to handle.

Predicted Point Totals

Now that we have provided our predictions for the Magpies’ last nine games of the season, how many points will the club finish with? Based on our predicted outcomes, this is how many points Newcastle United will earn this season.

  • Carson A. Merk: 49 points
  • Durim Halimi: 46 points

Anything can happen in these unique circumstances with questionable fitness and an accelerated schedule. Carson and I are much more optimistic than the predictions provided by FiveThirtyEight, but what do you all think?  Let us know in the comments section below!
