Newcastle United finished the week with a draw against West Ham. As a result, they improved to 40 points in the standings. It was an exciting weekend. Also, bookies released their sportsbook odds for the Champions League Top 4.
Even if Newcastle still hopes to qualify for the Champions League, Tottenham Hotspur still poses the greatest challenge to the club. Odds on who will finish in the top four were issued after Saturday night’s game, and some bookies now have Newcastle priced at 4/5 to finish ahead of Tottenham. Spurs, who several bookies give odds of 5/2, must also prepare for the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
Back in August last year, nobody would have taken Newcastle’s chances of seriously making the Champions League. However, one draw against West Ham should not cause despair, with 17 games yet to play and a trip to the League Cup final to look forward to. Thus, bookie pay per head providers are adjusting their lines and odds for the Champions League.
Sportsbook Odds for the Champions League Top 4
Although they avoided relegation for the majority of the previous year, Newcastle did not reach 40 points until April 20, courtesy of a stunning goal by Miguel Almiron. After their scoreless draw against West Ham on February 4, the Magpies had already amassed 40 points. According to pay per head service providers, it was the same number they had at the same stage last season.
According to sportsbook marketing experts, what Eddie Howe and his team have accomplished in only ten short months is remarkable. If you’re keeping score at home, Newcastle is three points ahead of the second-place Magpies from 1996–97.
At this point in the season, they are one point better off than the club that finished fourth in 2001–02 and two points better off than the team that finished third in 2002–03, both of which occurred during the prime of Sir Bobby Robson’s career. Alan Pardew’s fifth-place team was four points behind Howe’s 2023 graduating class.
