Very interesting on Newcastle United ahead of Sheffield United match - Sky Sports expert's verdict
Opinion6 seconds agoThe Sky Sports column ‘Jones Knows’ has given some interesting analysis and commentary on what is currently the position at Newcastle United.
The Sky Sports ‘Jones Knows’ column looks at the matches from a betting perspective and has been concentrating on Newcastle’s game against Sheffield United. “Over their past five matches, Eddie Howe’s team are only operating at a non-penalty expected goals tally of 0.88 per game – that’s over an expected goal down from their 38-game average of 1.89 per 90 across last season.
“They were the Premier League kings at winning corners last season, with 270 – that was 32 more than any other side. That bulky return stems from a style of football that leads to plenty of scenarios where corners can be won down the channels, where Howe likes to create overloads. That corner return averaged out at 7.1 per match last season so I was surprised to see the line of Evens available for them to win seven or more corners here in a game where they will dominate territory.
The Blades couldn’t score themselves and lost 1-0 at home to a very average Palace side, then Sheffield United going on to concede two goals in each of their next four PL games. Whilst at the other end of the pitch they have also struggled, including losing in the League Cup at home to League One Lincoln when also failing to score.
