Expert Betting Tips

Newcastle United is expected to have a very tough match against Liverpool at Anfield. In the last EPL campaign, Newcastle managed to get one point away, but now such a development seems almost impossible. Jurgen Klopp's players operate with great reserve. Even taking into account the potential rotation of the squad, Liverpool is the obvious favorite in the upcoming game. As in the game with Aston Villa, Liverpool will put pressure on the opponent's defense from the start. I suggest choosing the line with corners before the break. You can also bet on the total corners in the match and a confident victory for the home team.
