Newcastle is averaging 2.1 goals per-game but has struggled for clean sheets of late, conceding in eight of their last 10 fixtures. On the road, they allowed 17 goals in eight games.

Luton tends to find the back of the net in front of their fans. If you’re betting online, expect Newcastle to win but also concede at least one goal.

Player Prop Pick: Alexander Isak Anytime Goal Scorer (+120)

Though he battled an injury-ridden season, Alexander Isak defied our soccer odds in his first year with the club and found success early.

He propelled himself into the starting lineup once the 2023-24 rolled around and already scored seven goals. If you love Premier League props, he is the player to watch and bet on.

Best Game Prop: Newcastle Team Total Over 1½ Goals (-134)

With Callum Wilson, Isak and Joelinton fully fit, Newcastle has the necessary weapons to score at least two goals on their own. Luton conceded at least twice in their previous two home games.

Newcastle will be eager to return to Europe’s top table next season after this year’s taster and this is the perfect opportunity for them to close the gap on the top spots.
