Premier League: Newcastle vs Everton 28/02/2026

Although Newcastle are favorites according to the odds, Everton’s form and stability away from home make the Asian Handicap +0.75 on the visitors a logical and valuable option.

Betting on the Handicap

Newcastle are competing on multiple fronts this season, but their Premier League performances have not matched their ambitions or squad quality. Their current 11th-place position does not reflect the team’s potential. Since Christmas, they have recorded a 4-1-5 run, with two of those four wins coming against Qarabag, which further puts their domestic form into perspective.

Everton, on the other hand, come into this match after two home defeats, but they look far more stable on the road. They clearly prefer playing from a deeper block and attacking in transition. Away from home, they have collected 21 of their 37 points this season and boast the best away defense in the league, highlighting their tactical discipline.

The gap in the odds seems exaggerated in favor of the hosts. Everton may lack Newcastle’s individual quality, but they are better positioned in the table and significantly more reliable away from home. Newcastle concede goals too easily at St James’ Park, while David Moyes’ side hold an impressive 19-12-4 record in matches where they score. With Newcastle priced at 1.75 to win, there is value in opposing them — the Asian Handicap +0.75 on Everton looks like a sensible and worthwhile choice.
