Newcastle look worthy 5/4 favourites to win their home game against Stoke today (2pm KO, Live on Sky Sports1).
John Carver got his reign in charge of the Magpies off to a terrific start at Hull and this looks another great chance to bag a further three points agisnt a team who don’t do well on their travels.
Stoke have only won seven Premier League away matches under Mark Hughes and with the return to action Papiss Cisse from international duty Newcastle have plenty of attacking atlent in their side to make the most of home advantage and ensure that doesn’t improve.
Newcastle are a decent side at home having already beaten Liverpool, Chelsea and Everton on Tyneside this season a nd if they bring their “A game” to the table I can’t see anything other than a win for the Toon army.
The aforementioned Cisse has scored four goals in six league appearances against Stoke, and that makes him look worth a punt at 6/1 with BetVictor, Coral and William Hill in the first goalscorer market.
I fancy Newcastle to win 2-0, and that scoreline can be backed at a standout 21/2 with BetVictor.
