NEWCASTLE - MARITIMO PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

League Form:

Newcastle P4 W2 D2 L0 Pts 8 GF6 GA2 GD+2 - Average goals per game: 2.00

Maritimo P4 W0 D2 L2 Pts 6 GF1 GA4 GD-3 - Average goals per game: 1.25

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Newcastle are struggling somewhat in midtable of the England Premier league. An injury to key man Papisse Cisse has cost them dearly. The side who finished 5^th last year are finding it hard to replicate that form this season. They are a good side however and are packed with proven internationals from across the globe. In Europa Liga they have been strong, even with a shadow side they remain the team to beat. Yet to lose a match in 4 they can seal qualification against the bottom side from Portugal.

Maritimo are having real problems in Primeira Liga and sit just outside the relegation zone in 12^th position (from 16 teams) They have only managed 5 goals in 9 matches this season and this is a huge problem. They have carried this poor form and lack of a goal threat into continental scene as they sit bottom of Europa liga with only 1 goal scored. Maritimo have a real outside chance of qualification but it means two wins and a couple of unlikely results elsewhere.

NEWCASTLE - MARITIMO:TOTAL GOALS PREDICTION

Under 2.50 1.95 (Bet365) is a great bet here. Goals have not been flowing for both sides and the defences have been key. Newcastle have just done enough so far and Maritimo find it almost impossible to score. They have a strong defence though and this may be good enough to hold Newcastle to just the one or two goals. Last 8 matches has seen 5 games go Under 2.5, with a total of 13 goals for an average of 1.62 goals per game. Great bet this Unders and full value.
