Newcastle vs West Bromwich

Newcastle v West Brom is a battle between two sides with effectively nothing to play for - the Geordies have the incentive of impressing their fans in the last home match of what has been a fairly decent season for both sides. As newly promoted clubs they are both well safe of relegation and have impressed with their entertaining football (particularly at home).

At St. James' Park, Newcastle are the third top scorers in the league, behind Man United and Chelsea. While alot of these goals have been scored by missing skipper Kevin Nolan and departed striker Andy Carroll the Magpies are still an attacking force - at home.

Having netted twice against both Chelsea and Birmingham in recent weeks and getting four against Wolves at home in the past month Newcastle can certainly score against a weak West Brom defence who have conceded more than all but one of the teams fighting in today's relegation scrap.

While this match could be drab and dull it certainly has the potential for a lot of goals and the value bet is NEWCASTLE TO SCORE OVER 1.5 GOALS (1.91 Boylesports, 8pts).

Back this up with 0.5 pts each on Steven Taylor (2goals in 2games) and Jose Enrique, the ever attacking left back, to score anytime.
