What is the Bet of the Day?

The bet of the day is either a single, double, triple or accumulator that our expert has selected, based on a number of factors including form and statistics.

How do we select our bet of the day?

Finding the best value bet out there can be tricky given the vast amount of matches and markets available, thus we assess all of these and sort through to find the best bet with the strongest value.

What do we keep an eye out for in our bet of the day?

The most important thing we look out for is the value that each bet provides. We are looking for bets that not only have a good chance of coming in, but also picks that hold great value.

What are the odds of the bet of the day?

We never choose a specific price for our bet of the day, but in general, we attempt to choose those bets that are around a price of evens (1/1 or 2.0) and above.

Goals to flow at St James’ Park

Newcastle’s recent home games have been very entertaining. They had scored at least twice in 13 successive matches at St James’ Park before losing 2-0 to Man City last week. Given that they are clear favourites for this match, Eddie Howe will likely expect his side to get on the scoresheet again.

However, PSV should not be underestimated. They average 2.5 goals and 1.78 xG per 90 minutes in the Champions League. The Dutch outfit have already put six past Napoli, and scored four times at Anfield in the competition.

The hosts are sure to be going all out for three points as they push for a top-eight finish. They’ve already won 4-3 and drawn 3-3 at home in 2026. There is value in backing both teams to score twice or more again on Tyneside at long odds on Wednesday.
