Newcastle vs Man Utd Prediction and Football Tips
Premier League football tips – Newcastle vs Man Utd prediction
It will have come as a relief to Newcastle to finally pick up a win on the weekend, having only managed 1 in their previous 8 games. Following the 5-0 mauling at the hands of Manchester City last week, John Carver will be delighted to have got his first home win under his belt, before the visit of Manchester United.
There can be little doubt that Manchester United deserved their 2-0 victory over Sunderland on the weekend. Yet again, it was the scintillating performance that the Old Trafford crowd were hoping for but controlled possession finally broke down the visitors resistance. Once Wes Brown was sent off, there was only going to be one winner and Man United travel to Newcastle in control of their own Champions League destiny.
- Over the course of their previous 10 matches, Newcastle have scored an average of 1.3 goals and conceded an average of 1.7 goals per game.
- Over the course of their previous 10 matches, Man Utd have scored an average of 1.8 goals and conceded an average of 0.7 goals per game.
- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Newcastle’s previous 10 matches
- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Man Utd’s previous 10 matches.
- Newcastle have only beaten Man Utd once in their last 6 attempts.
Newcastle will start this match 13 points clear of the relegation zone following the win over Aston Villa and should be able to relax a little bit more in this match. Their home form in the Premier League has been solid, losing only 2 matches in 12 and victories over the likes of Chelsea and Liverpool, show they have what it takes to beat the big teams on their day.
Manchester United’s defeat in their last away game, to Swansea, was their first in 8 away league games. That being said, only 3 of those 8 games have been wins, with the other 4 ending in draws. If Louis van Gaal wants to cement a place in the top 4, this is a match that his team really should be winning but current away form suggests otherwise.
