Betting on Arsenal
Arsenal and all of its fans are beginning to firmly believe that lifting their fourth Premier League title is a distinct possibility. Their main rivals, Manchester City, drew 1-1 against Everton in their previous outing, which allows the Gunners to head into this game with a seven-point lead over the Citizens in the race for the English Premier League crown.
The north London side goes into this match on a run of five consecutive wins, the most recent of which was a 4-2 victory over Brighton in what was a superb collective display from Mikel Arteta’s side.
However, the first three wins in that positive streak saw Arsenal keep a clean sheet, while in the last two they allowed three goals in total. In this way, they will need to come out focused defensively against an opponent to be feared, as Newcastle have been.
Possible Arsenal lineup (4-3-3): Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Kieran Tierney, Martin Odegaard, Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka, Bukayo Saka, Eddie Nketiah, Gabriel Martinelli.
Betting on Newcastle
Many expected Newcastle to take a leap in quality following the acquisition of the club by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. A lot of big-name signings were expected from the team, but they went to great lengths to make low-profile acquisitions that have worked wonders under a coach like Eddie Howe, who has already made his mark on the way the Magpies play.
Newcastle have won five of their last six league games. However, the last of these wins was the only one in which they did not take all three points in a 0-0 draw against Leeds United. That was the fifth straight official game in which Newcastle didn’t allow a goal. As the Premier League team with the fewest goals conceded (11), Newcastle will be seeking to build on that performance and leave the Emirates Stadium with all three points.
Possible Newcastle lineup (4-3-3): Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Sven Botman, Matt Targett, Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, Joe Willock, Miguel Almiron, Chris Wood, Joelinton.
JefeBet Prediction
Newcastle’s defense may be the best in the league, but Arsenal’s is not far behind as the second best in the top flight with just 14 goals conceded, although eight of those were recorded at the Emirates Stadium.
However, this venue may be a burden for a Newcastle side that has come out winless in their last ten Premiership appearances at Arsenal’s home. It goes without saying that most of those were at a fairly poor stage for the club. Unfortunately, the trend could continue, as Howe also lost in all six of his Premiership games at the Gunners’ stadium.
We hope that this time Newcastle can show more grit and put up a fight, but we believe that Arsenal will end up taking the win to maintain their perfect home record, but not before suffering a setback or two.
