MILLWALL - NEWCASTLE
A heavy favourite, with the price to match. Newcastle is the shortest price on a book of 6.50 / 4.75 / 1.37 (1 / X / 2), an implied 66.7%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 14.1% / 19.2% / 66.7% on an overround of 9.4%.
Money has come for Newcastle to win: the price has shortened from 1.55 to 1.43, a move of 8.4%. Steam like that on the day of the game usually reflects team news the wider market has not caught up with yet.
