Manchester City vs. Newcastle Predictions

• Where: Etihad Stadium, Manchester, England
• When: Saturday, February 21, 9 pm CET

Both teams need a win, with the hosts chasing the EPL title and the guests the spot that leads to the UEFA Champions League next year. Newcastle had to travel a lot, as it played in Azerbaijan in the UCL playoffs, and they are probably tired ahead of this outing. As for City, they had a nice rest, not playing a single game throughout mid-week.

Manchester City vs. Newcastle Preview

Manchester City

Citizens were routine last weekend in the FA Cup, beating Salford, 2-0. It was a game in which their players didn’t spend too much of their energy and where Man City didn’t want to push hard.

For the moment, City has 4 wins in a row, and is without a loss for the past 7 appearances. In each and every game during this span, Guardiola’s team managed to score at least twice, which indicates their excellent form.

City is ruthless at home in the EPL, winning 10 of their 13 matches, with two ties and one loss, scoring 32 goals and conceding 8. They haven’t lost at the Etihad in 12 consecutive events across all the competitions.

Newcastle

The Magpies had back-to-back road wins before traveling to Azerbaijan, beating Tottenham in the EPL and Aston Villa in the FA Cup. The schedule is pretty demanding for Newcastle, which will play its fourth consecutive road game in Manchester this weekend.

Eddie Howe’s boys are both scoring and conceding goals. In the last 6 meetings, we saw that, and in the previous five, apart from hits on both sides, there were at least three goals.

The Mapgies’ defense is very fragile on the road. This team hasn’t posted a clean sheet since the start of October. Overall, the latest back-to-back wins were the first road successes since the start of 2026.

Manchester City vs. Newcastle Predictions

Manchester City didn’t travel anywhere, and their players had time to heal and rest, which can’t be said for the Magpies. That, the home field edge and the fact that Man City stands as the best home team in England are the reasons to bet on their triumph.
