Club Friendly - Deportivo vs Newcastle betting preview

Newcastle continue their pre-season preparations for life back in the Premier League tonight as they face La Liga side Deportivo. The Tynesiders will be pleased with their last result, a 2-2 draw that showed a definite improvement on the 2-1 defeat to Norwich in the previous match. With the new season less than two weeks away and an opening match against Manchester United to prepare for, tonight will be an important test of Newcastle`s top-flight credentials.

The hosts are favourites for the match, however, with Sky Bet and Betfair both offering 11/10 (bet £10 to win £11 profit) on the side that finished 10th in La Liga last term. Newcastle are 5/2 with Bodog and the draw is available at the same price with Betinternet.

A 1-1 draw has been made the favourite score for the match, at 13/2 on Betfair, with Ladbrokes and Bet 365 offering 7/1 on a 1-0 home win an Bet365 also top price on 2-1, going 8/1. The game is 12/1 on Betfair to finish goalless and Newcastle are 10/1 with Paddy Power to come away with a 1-0 win, with a more convincing 2-0 at 17/1 with the same firm.

In the half-time/full-time market, Deportivo are 5/2 to lead at both the interval and the final whistle and 9/2 to win after drawing at half-time, both prices available at Bet 365. It is 5/1 on Betfair that  both halves are drawn and Newcastle/Newcastle is 11/2 with Victor Chandler.

Neither side has much chance of challenging for their respective league titles this season and Newcastle are just 4/1 with Ladbrokes to be sent back to the Championship come May. Chelsea are favourites for the Premier League, with most bookmakers offering 13/8.
