Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Arsenal vs. Newcastle at English Premier League
On This Page
No need to explain how big a match this is for Arsenal. They are under pressure, not holding anything in their hands in the EPL, and have a huge UCL challenge next midweek. Meanwhile, Newcastle’s season is long over, with the Magpies sitting in the bottom half of the standings, though with certain chances of reaching the zone that leads to the UEFA competitions.

Arsenal
The Gunners are still first, but they have a game more than Manchester City, to whom they lost last weekend, 2-1. The pressure is on Arteta and the boys now, as everyone expects to see them stumble late as they have in the past.
It might be a poorly targeted form or simply a mental weakness, but Arsenal’s form is terrible. This unit has just one win in the past 6 matches, with the sole triumph coming in the UCL vs. Sporting in Lisbon, 0-1.
What concerns the fans is that this unit hasn’t won back-to-back home matches. They would lose to Bournemouth first, 1-2, and then play a goalless second leg against Sporting in the UCL quarterfinals.
Newcastle United
When it comes to poor form, Newcastle is in an even worse situation. Eddie Howe’s team has 4 consecutive defeats, conceding 2 or more goals in each. It all started with a 7-2 humiliation in Barcelona, extending to three EPL fixtures.
Newcastle’s defense is terrible. This team has only one clean sheet in the recent 19 matches, and that’s something every bettor should know. During that stretch, we’ve seen Newcastle both scoring and conceding on 17 occasions.
Howe and the boys have no pressure, which puts them in an excellent situation ahead of this clash. All eyes are on Arsenal, and that just might be beneficial for the guests.
Arsenal: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie; Zubimendi, Rice; Madueke, Eze, Trossard; Gyokeres
Newcastle: Ramsdale; Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Hall; Miley, Tonali, Ramsey; Barnes, Osula, Elanga
Arsenal won the first meeting of the year, which was at St. James’ Park, 1-2. The Magpies had a lead at halftime, 1-0, but Arsenal responded in the second half, scoring through Merino and Gabriel, who bagged three points for the Gunners with a late stoppage-time hit.
Both teams have huge problems with injuries, but simply that can’t and won’t be an alibi for a poor result in this event. And this especially goes for Arsenal, who need to find some spark and get up after several pretty nasty blows. Looking at the recent respective results, we can see they both score and concede, which is why we have to bet on both teams scoring in this one. We are not sure of the final outcome or anything like that, but we should see goals on both ends.
Our verdict: Both teams to score
