Betting on Newcastle United Football Club
Revenge this Sunday would be good for Newcastle, not only because of the emotional impact it could have on the players, but also because a positive result could put the team back in the Champions League places.
The Magpies are currently in a Europa League place as they are fifth in the standings with 47 points. However, the team is only two points behind Tottenham in fourth place, and with two fewer games played than the Spurs .
These are a couple of very important incentives for Eddie Howe’s team, which has also managed to find the winning formula by raising victorious in the last two rounds.
It is worth noting that Newcastle, despite being the team with the fewest defeats in the Premier League along with Arsenal with just three, is the second club with the most draws in the championship with 11, while no one has conceded fewer goals than them with 19. The team has lacked decisiveness when it comes to finishing games with only 39 goals scored, the lowest figure among the top seven teams in the standings.
As for its home performance, playing this weekend in St. Louis, the team will have a great opportunity to play at home. St. James Park rounds out the positive news for Newcastle, since it has lost just one game out of 13 at home .
Along with Liverpool, they own the defenses that have conceded the fewest goals at home with nine, but Newcastle has drawn five of those matches due to the lack of goalscoring success mentioned above.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Nick Pope; Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schär, Sven Botman, Dan Burn; Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimarães, Joe Willock; Jacob Murphy, Alexander Isak, Allan Saint-Maximin.
Betting on Manchester United Football Club
Manchester United is having one of its best seasons in recent years, and this Sunday could finish settling in the Premier League standings heading into the final stretch of the season.
Holding third place in the standings with 50 points, Manchester United has the same 26 games played as Newcastle, but only three points more than its opponent. Therefore, a defeat on Sunday would put the team level on points with Newcastle in the Champions League .
However, winning three points would consolidate the team in the European places, and give it some peace of mind to face important matches in mid and late April against Sevilla, in the quarterfinals of the Europa League, and against Brighton in the FA Cup semifinal.
A win would also help Erik ten Hag’s team to return to winning ways in the local championship, after a 7-0 thrashing by Liverpool, and a draw at home against the bottom of the standings. These results were unbefitting of a club that in eight matches after the return from the World Cup break had lost only to Arsenal and had blanked its opponent on three occasions.
The problem is that this time it will not be easy to win again. Despite being the fifth best team on enemy grounds with 20 points out of a possible 39, five of its six defeats in the tournament have come at home. What’s more, Manchester United is the third team with the third highest number of goals conceded at home with 27.
Possible Lineup (4-1-4-1): David De Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw; Fred; Jadon Sancho, Bruno Fernandes, Antony, Facundo Pellistri; Wout Weghorst.
JefeBet Prediction
Playing against Manchester United could be seen as risky, but this Sunday is a good time for Newcastle to take revenge on the Red Devils .
In addition to having lost five away games with many goals conceded, Manchester United has confirmed the absence of Casemiro due to suspension, and its main striker, Marcus Rashford, is still a mystery.
For their part, Newcastle arrives with two consecutive victories, and the motivation of being able to chase the team that snatched its dream of winning the Carabao Cup. Newcastle’s defense is one of the best in Europe and without Rashford in front of the team, it could be in for a big day.
Prediction: Newcastle to win (NEW 1 – MAN 0).
