NEWCASTLE v DERBY - NEWCASTLE CALLING THE TOON AGAINST THE RAMS?
It looks like another good weekend is in store for Big Sam’s Newcastle as the face the rock bottom Rams at St James’ Park. However, which Premier League side is the only team to lose to Derby since their return to top flight football, yep you guessed it, it was Newcastle. That 1-0 win came back in mid-September and will seem a long time ago to the suffering Rams fans who have endured eleven winless games since.
In fact, Derby’s season has gone from bad to worse as a 7-match losing streak illustrates. Throw in the fact that the Rams have scored just once in the last 881 minutes of Premier League football and it looks like this match should be a definite ‘home banker’.
Newcastle are unbeaten in their last 3 games so confidence is slowly returning and so is the luck as last minute goals over Birmingham and Fulham will testify. If you are still unsure about whether to back Newcastle on Premier 10, then here is one more reason for you, Derby have not managed to win at St James’ for 18 years. Expect that run to continue.
TOP TIP: Another Derby defeat (home win)
