Newcastle vs. Manchester United Predictions

• Where: St. James’ Park, Newcastle, England
• When: Sunday, April 13, 11:30 PM

The Magpies battle for the Champions League spot, and they desperately need three points from this event. Manchester United on the other hand has no competitive motive in terms of moving up on the EPL standings. However, the Red Devils’ reputation is at stake.

Newcastle vs. Manchester United Preview

Newcastle

The Magpies have four straight wins, and Eddie Howe’s boys are in fantastic shape. The EPL is entering its final phase, and Newcastle has excellent chances to win one of the places that will lead to the Champions League next season.

Winning against the sorry Leicester isn’t something for showing off, but scoring three goals in the first 45 minutes is. No matter the rivals. Newcastle visited the Foxes last Monday, winning 0-3, to level with Chelsea, who is fourth in the standings, but with the note that Newcastle has a game in hand compared to the Blues.

Newcastle’s home games are efficient. Eight of the past 10 have ended with three or more goals, and seven saw both teams netting.

Manchester United

A boring, goalless draw in the Manchester Derby last weekend vs. City perfectly reflects how United plays this season. This might be one of the worst seasons in the last few decades, with United sitting 13th right now.

Their EPL record away from Old Trafford is negative—4 wins, 5 draws, and 6 defeats, with 16 goals both scored and conceded. Their road games provide the second-fewest number of goals in the EPL, behind Everton.

United will be more tired than Newcastle, who doesn’t have any international obligations, unlike Amorim’s unit, which traveled to France to meet Lyon this Thursday. Plus, the Red Devils have to prepare for the second leg and focus on that because that’s the only competition left where they might take the trophy.

Newcastle vs. Manchester United Predictions

Newcastle is in a must-win situation, and knowing that United has nothing to fight for and plays without pressure, we could expect them to play against all expectations. Why? Because that’s Manchester United these days. Still, that won’t be enough for them to beat the Magpies, whose form is peaking right now. Therefore, our pick would be Newcastle to triumph.

Our verdict: Newcastle wins
