Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Arsenal vs. Newcastle at English Premier League

Where: Emirates Stadium, London, England
When: Sunday, May 19, 05:30 AM

The Gunners lost the UCL semis but still maintained their motivation to play and contest, even though the remaining games had no competitive meaning for them. On the other hand, Newcastle battles for the Champions League spot, and the Magpies are going to be all-in to secure the place, which leads to the most prominent competition on the continent.

Arsenal vs. Newcastle Preview

Arsenal

The Gunners finished their season terribly, going five games without a win. They also lost two games, one in the UCL against PSG, which ended their dreams of reaching the continental title.

Arteta’s unit opened the game against Liverpool poorly, allowing two goals early on. Yet they responded by leveling the score and even had some chances to win it entirely. It was a good bounce-back from the Gunners, who showed resilience and mentality.

Once the key advantage over other teams, Arsenal’s defense is now highly problematic. Arsenal conceded two or more goals in four of the past five games and has just two clean sheets in the past ten contests.

Newcastle

The Magpies have 66 points, four more than Nottingham, who are seventh and outside the UCL. So you get the picture, how valuable is every point in the remaining two events. They have to stay unbeaten in London and save their chances to enter the Champions League.

Eddie Howe’s boys beat Chelsea, their direct rivals, 2-0 in the previous round, significantly improving the situation and gaining a slight edge over the other competitors.

But the Magpies have not won on the road in the last two events, losing to Aston Villa 4-1 and playing 1-1 in Brighton. That’s something that uneases the fans ahead of this trip.

Arsenal vs Newcastle Head to Head

So be sure that Arteta’s team will be highly motivated to win here. Meanwhile, there’s no going back for Newcastle, who has to think about the win. That’s why we expect an open and exciting matchup and at least three goals involving both teams.

Our verdict: Over 2.5 & both teams to score
