Newcastle are far from fighting for something big. They’re stuck in the middle of the table, 11 points behind the Champions League qualification zone. The Magpies have won only 1 out of the last 6 Premier League games. It was a game against Fulham (3:0). In this period, they even managed to lose the match against Luton Town (0:1). The side is in crisis, and many players are to miss this game due to injuries.
The Citizens are 3rd, five points behind the leading Liverpool. The problem is that Manchester City have won only 3 out of the last 8 games (1 defeat, 4 draws). They won the FIFA Club World Cup and advanced to the next round of the FA Cup. Now they can focus on the league games to fix the situation and get closer to Liverpool.
The Magpies have won the last head-to-head game in the League Cup. However, they didn’t manage to beat the Citizens in the previous 10 games in all tournaments, with only 2 draws for this period. It also included defeats 0:5 (twice!) and 0:4.
Bookmakers believe that the Magpies have no chance to succeed in this game. You can bet on them to win at around 23/5. While the odds for Manchester City to win are around 3/5. You can bet on a draw at around 7/2.
Betting on Newcastle +1 have been successful in 6 out of the last 7 head-to-head Premier League games in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, namely 4 wins and 2 void.
Manchester City have scored at least two goals in 11 out of the last 14 head-to-head Premier League games in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
I don’t believe that Newcastle can do anything against Manchester City on fire. The Magpies will try to get to the Champions League qualification zone, but they’re unlikely to succeed. Definitely, it’s going to be hard to make up something in the match against one of the leaders.
I think that Newcastle will be able to deter the attacks of Manchester City in the beginning of the game. But I’m pretty sure that eventually the Citizens will score quite many goals.
Everton: -8 Points
