Newcastle vs. Arsenal Predictions

• When: Sunday, September 28, 5:30 pm ET
• Where: St. James’ Park, Newcastle, England

These two teams are in trouble because they haven’t started the season as expected, and that especially goes for the hosts. The Magpies squandered too many points already, while Arsenal has a five-point deficit compared to Liverpool early into the season. Therefore, a win is a must for both units, meaning this should be an intense and very fierce game.

Newcastle vs. Arsenal Preview

Newcastle

Isak’s departure and the saga before that have completely disrupted the Magpies’ system for the season. All that happened reflects now, with Newcastle trying to find a suitable system without the Swede, who forced his way out of the club.

Only one win in 6 games this year across all competitions is enough proof, and the way things stand, we don’t believe that the Magpies can adjust to the new circumstances for at least another month.

In three matches, Eddie Howe’s unit hasn’t scored a goal; on the other hand, the defense often looks shaky and vulnerable, and the midfield is completely chaotic because it lacks Isak’s presence, making the ball transition far slower.

Arsenal

The pressure on Arteta is very high. Losing to Liverpool and then playing just 1-1 against City at Emirates has turned the anger of the fans towards the Spaniard, who can’t find the winning formula for big games.

Although Arsenal had the initiative against City, they failed to win. Why is that we don’t quite know. An early conceded goal shocked the hosts, who bounced back and pressured City, yet without a comeback.

Injuries are again taking a toll on the Gunners, as Odegaard, Saka, Saliba, Havertz, and several other players are out. This is a problem that’s been haunting Arsenal for the last 20 years, and nothing has changed even now.

Newcastle vs Arsenal Head to Head

There was a friendly in July this year, where Arsenal won 3-2. During the previous season, these two units met four times. Newcastle beat Arsenal in both EFL Cup semifinal games, 0-2 on the road and 2-0 at home. The Premiership games ended 1-0 for the Magpies at St. James’ Park and 1-0 for Arsenal in London.

Newcastle vs. Arsenal Predictions

This will be a tough game for both sides, but overall, Arsenal appears to be in better shape. The Gunners failed to beat Man City, yet they played well, that’s something nobody can dispute. Meanwhile, Newcastle is sluggish and without fire in midfield, and the current results reflect that. Because of all this, we will bet on Arsenal to take three points up north.
