3. Newcastle Have Kept Just Two Clean Sheets In Their Last 17 Games... Conceding 33 In The Process
Scoring goals is a concern, but so is keeping them out at the other end - a perfect storm of negatives for any football side. Since beating Queens Park Rangers 1-0 at home on November 22, Newcastle have kept just two clean sheets in 17 matches and have conceded at a rate of almost two goals a game. If you're conceding 33 goals in 17 games then you're going to be struggling to collect three points regularly - and that is exactly the situation the Magpies find themselves in.
