Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Newcastle vs. Arsenal at English Premier League
The central event of the Premiership’s program this Saturday is up north, where Newcastle hosts Arsenal. These two teams have high ambitions this year. While the Magpies aren’t publicly proclaiming themselves as one of the title contenders, Arsenal’s ambitions were revealed a long time ago, and everyone knows about them. Both teams are playing good football and hope to be on the winning side after the final whistle.
Newcastle
The Magpies had a very tough road contest against Wolverhampton at Molineux. That contest ended without winners, 2-2, but we have to mention that the Wolves are a team on the rise, and one of the better in the league, so this tie is a completely satisfying outcome for Howe and his lads.
Newcastle’s attack is very good, but the defense frequently makes errors. That’s something highly uncharacteristic for this crew, because it used to be one of the best in England last season when it comes to protecting its own goal.
The biggest strength of the Magpies is a highly diverse attack, because several of their players can score, and we often see different names in the scoring column.
Arsenal
Arsenal needs to maintain a high pace, and one of the biggest tests of their character and endurance will be the at St. James’ Park. One by one, they had to encounter very tough rivals – Manchester City, Chelsea, Sevilla, West Ham. You have to admit, this is a very tough schedule.
For the moment, the Gunners have an excellent record on the road and are one of two undefeated teams away from their home. In four meetings, we’ve seen them triumph three times, recording a tie with a goal difference of eight scored and two allowed goals.
A big problem for the guests will be Gabriel Jesus’ absence, with the Brazilian being out for a few more weeks due to his muscle injury.
Newcastle United: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Lascelles, Burn; Joelinton, Guimaraes, Longstaff; Almiron, Wilson, Gordon
Arsenal: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli
Can you believe that the last ten direct meetings all saw just one side scoring? Last year, we saw a goalless tie at the Emirates, while the second meeting in Newcastle ended with Arsenal’s 0-2 victory.
Both teams love to attack and dictate the tempo of the game. Newcastle is very aggressive at home, while Arsenal stands as one of the best teams on the road in the last year and a half. Our pick here is both teams to score.
Our verdict: Both teams to score
