Team Analysis
Newcastle United, after a successful last season, had a steady start to the new campaign with a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa in the first round. Coach Eddie Howe's team is known for its resilient defense and efficient counter-attacks, with their home ground, St. James' Park, being a fortress. Liverpool, on the other hand, showed their attacking power by winning 4-2 against Bournemouth in their opening match, but also revealed some issues in their defense. New head coach Arne Slot is implementing his tactical ideas, and this will require a period of adjustment.
Player Status
Newcastle United faces a significant challenge: star striker Alexander Isak has been absent from pre-season and the first match due to transfer rumors, and his future at the club creates uncertainty. For Liverpool, key attacker Mohamed Salah is in excellent form and had a great performance in the first round. However, the team also faces injury concerns, with right-back Frimpong out, which could weaken their defense.
Nowgoal Prediction
Considering Newcastle United's solid home defense and Liverpool's potential vulnerabilities at the back, this match is likely to be a tight contest. Liverpool's attacking firepower is enough to threaten any team, but Newcastle United's counter-attacks should not be underestimated. We predict that Liverpool will secure a narrow victory away from home, thanks to their stronger overall squad and player form.
Prediction: Away team win 2-1
