Football Multi Bet: $13.30 Tip for Monday

Newcastle host Everton on Monday morning as one of the five Premier League teams in the hunt for the three remaining Champions League spots. For Everton, the stakes are minimal, as their 13th-place finish is already secured regardless of the result. Punters, however, can find some excellent deals for this game across NZ betting sites that can be combined into a sharp football multi bet.

Monday May 26, 3:00am NZT, St. James’ Park 

Newcastle to Win @ 1.33 

These two teams played out a goalless draw when they last met in October. The absence of Alexander Isak—Newcastle’s 23-goal Premier League talisman—was felt in that match, as Eddie Howe’s side failed to convert a 1.95 xG into goals.

The prolific Swede could not feature against Arsenal with a minor injury, but he is expected to be back for the Everton match. Isak can make a significant difference and help Newcastle unlock a resolute Everton defence. 

Football betting sites are backing Newcastle as the favourites to win. Since a Champions League spot is up for grabs, we expect the home side to bring a real sense of urgency to this clash. So, we will back a Newcastle win here. 

Under 2.5 Goals @ 2.50 

We were surprised to see the short odds betting apps are offering for the under 2.5 goals market. Everton have been one of the most disciplined defensive units in the Premier League since David Moyes took over mid-season. 

Only two of the last 11 Premier League games involving the Toffees have met the over 2.5 goals criteria. Even if Isak features in this match, we don’t think we’re going to see a goal-fest at St.James’. 

Placing a wager on under 2.5 goals to be scored seems to be a good value bet for this match. The risk-to-reward ratio is highly favourable, making it a compelling opportunity.

Sandro Tonali Anytime Goalscorer @ 4.00 

Isak has been the most lethal goal threat for Newcastle this season. However, given the uncertainty around his availability, we've explored alternative options for potential Newcastle goalscorers, and Tonali appears to be a lucrative option. 

The former AC Milan midfielder provided the finishing touch to complete a brilliant team goal against Chelsea. Tonali has scored four times for Newcastle this season and has popped up in promising positions in recent games. 

With odds of 4.00, we're jumping on Bet365’s anytime scorer market for Tonali.
