Betting notes
How to bet on Newcastle vs Sunderland
Four angles to weigh before you place a bet on this fixture.
- 01
Powerplay247 is an exchange: you can back or lay every market on Newcastle vs Sunderland and trade out in-play, for example after an early goal, instead of waiting for full time.
- 02
Derbies bring more fouls and bookings. The model's card range is 4.5-5.5, above the usual Premier League average.
- 03
Wait for the confirmed line-ups, usually out an hour before kick-off. A missing striker or first-choice keeper can move the goals lines more than the 1X2 price.
- 04
With the draw only 22%, the match-result market is fairly clean. Newcastle on the Newcastle -1 handicap gives a bigger price if you expect a comfortable win.

Match preview
Newcastle United host Sunderland at St James' Park, Newcastle, in the Premier League 2026/27. It is a Tyne-Wear derby, so form counts for less than usual and the game tends to be tighter and more physical. Our goals model gives Newcastle an expected 1.85 goals and Sunderland 0.87, which works out to Newcastle 61%, draw 22% and Sunderland 17%. The most likely half-time score is 0-0 and the predicted full-time score is 1-0. Line-ups are confirmed about an hour before kick-off, and team news is the biggest single mover of the price on Powerplay247.
