Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Arsenal vs. Newcastle at English Premier League
The way the Gunners play allows them to hope they might win the title. Arteta’s boys are in excellent shape, and they are only two points away from Liverpool, who leads the way in the standings now. Newcastle started the season well, but right now, they look like an average unit that won’t even reach the international stage.
Arsenal
Following a terrible period near the end of December and the start of the new year, Arsenal shifted into a higher gear and began smashing all the rivals. By far, they are in the best form of all teams in the Premiership, looking flamboyant in each segment of the game.
After beating Liverpool at home, 3-1, Arsenal humiliated West Ham and Burnley on the road, with a combined goal difference of 11-0. These 180 minutes might be the best since Arteta took over this unit.
In a dozen games at the Emirates, Arsenal won nine, had two ties and one loss, netting 30 goals and allowing 11. They are ferocious in front of their own fans, looking to break the rivals as soon as possible.
Newcastle
December was lethal for Eddie Howe and his crew, as it lost the pace in the title race and got eliminated from the UEFA Champions League and the FA Cup, which were massive blows for this team.
The Magpies woke up lately, not losing the past five games, winning three, and posting two ties, looking much better than before, yet still not consistent enough. The defense is still weak, allowing too many goals and chances, while the attack recovered and looked well.
The efficiency of their meetings is high, with eight of the last ten finishing with at least three goals. The most recent four ended with four or more on both ends. This hasn’t been quite frequent at the start of the season.
Arsenal: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior; Odegaard, Rice, Havertz; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli
Newcastle United: Dubravka; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Miley, Guimaraes, Longstaff; Almiron, Gordon, Barnes
* at the time of writing these lineups were relevant
Newcastle defeated Arsenal at St. James’ Park, 1-0 on November 4. The only scorer was Anthony Gordon, who netted in the 64th minute. An interesting statistical fact was that the previous five meetings between these two teams ended with only one side netting and under 2.5 hits.
The Gunners are on fire. We respect Newcastle and their power, but in this case, we have to go with the hosts triumphing. Their form is incredible, and on top of that, play at home, where Arsenal has a fantastic record. Therefore, the Gunners to triumph is the bet we are taking.
Our verdict: Arsenal wins
