This year Newcastle completely failed the season and did it in all directions. Already at the first stage, the team suffered a fiasco in the English League Cup, where they failed to cope with Burnley, after which they lost to Cambridge United in the FA Cup at an early stage. Terribly was the start in the championship of England, where the team managed to get the first victory only in early December. The failure in the tournament was attributed to the head coach and already in November Eddie Howe came to the post of mentor, who managed to radically change the situation in the team and brought his wards from the bottom of the standings. After 34 rounds the Magpies have chalked up 11 wins and 10 draws, which corresponds to 43 points and ninth position in the standings. In the last two rounds the “black and white” managed to beat “Crystal Palace” (1:0) and “Norwich” (3:0). Fraser, Hayden, Wilson, Trippier and Lewis, who has a groin injury, will not be able to play today.
RCB suffered a second massive defeat in a row and their punching power seems to be in tatters at the moment. Virat Kohli is going through his worst phase and is struggling to hit the ball off the field. His inning of 9 against the Rajasthan Royals was distressed and it looked like his racquet had only edges. We will stay away from betting on him as the betting sites do not adjust his betting markets even after repeated failures. A comeback could be in the offing, but markets haven’t adjusted enough to bet on Kohli now. Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell need to score the bulk of the runs, with Dinesh Karthik finishing games in order. We would like to bet Maxwell will score some runs in this match as we believe the match ups are in his favour. The same goes for Faf du Plessis. Still, RCB’s batting lineup is pretty nervous and that’s where the biggest risk lies in supporting them. However, RCB’s bowling is excellent. Josh Hazelwood was a pioneer. We think he could be an excellent option for betting on 2+ wickets or even for the Top Bowler RCB betting market. Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel and Mohammad Siraj all round out a very strong bowling lineup. This is a bowling attack that can win RCB games and also take the pressure off the battling unit.
