Ange Postecoglou is already under pressure just a few weeks into his Nottingham Forest reign and badly needs to claim his first victory at St James' Park today.
But all logic points towards more misery for the big Aussie, given Newcastle have enjoyed an extra 24 hours to recover after both clubs were in European action.
And while the Magpies eased to a 4-0 win away to Union Saint-Gilloise, it was the lowest point of Postecoglou's reign so far as Forest lost 3-2 at home to Midtjylland.
Newcastle United vs Nottingham Forest top betting tips
The same failings that haunted Postecoglou at Spurs last season are hurting him at the City Ground, with his side conceding far too many goals.
Newcastle boast plenty of firepower so it's easy to see why BoyleSports have them as 4/7 favourites today. That's not a great price for punters but you can boost the odds to 5/4 by adding on over 2.5 goals.
Anthony Elanga is facing his former club and the Toon winger will be looking to build on his excellent midweek display in Belgium.
He put in so many superb crosses against Union and is 7/2 at BoyleSports for an assist, which looks well worth a punt if he starts again.
Brentford vs Manchester City
Brentford have been strong at home so far in the Premier League but face a tough test tonight as in-form Manchester City come calling.
The Bees are unbeaten in four at the Gtech Stadium, which is no mean feat when you consider Aston Villa, Chelsea and Manchester United have been their opponents.
City look in better shape than those sides though, especially with Erling Haaland in such superb early-season form.
BoyleSports make Pep Guardiola's side 4/6 favourites but I'm going to boost their odds to 10/11 by adding on over 1.5 goals.
Brentford also have a striker in hot form, with Igor Thiago on five goals for the season. Combining a shot on target for the Brazilian with over 1.5 efforts on target for Haaland pays 8/5 at Bet365.
Celtic vs Motherwell
Celtic slumped to a 2-0 defeat against Braga in midweek and now have a tricky SPFL Premiership game to negotiate as unbeaten Motherwell come to Parkhead.
New boss Jens Berthel Askou has yet to taste defeat 12 games into his reign and has the Steelmen playing some lovely stuff.
While Well have scored in all but one of their games this season, Celtic have fired blanks in five of their 12 games.
Something's just not clicking with the Hoops right now but BoyleSports still make Motherwell 12/1 outsiders this afternoon.
Askou has vowed to have a go so combining BTTS and over 2.5 goals could pay off at 11/10 with BoyleSports.
New boy Sebastian Tounekti has been the one bright spark for Celtic in recent games and he's a tempting 7/4 for anytime scorer.
