Aston Villa v Newcastle Betting Preview – Championship 24th September
Just last season these two were fighting it out to avoid relegation and both ultimately failed, so it leaves us with a big Championship match up on Saturday evening to get stuck into. Newcastle had a fantastic five match winning streak snapped last weekend by Wolves, but still start the weekend up in third in the second tier. Things haven’t been going quite so well for Villa who have managed just the one win so far this season and who once again are still struggling for goals. Can the Villains take what would be a huge confidence-boosting victory?

Aston Villa v Newcastle Betting Tips
Just last season then these were embroiled in a fight against relegation which both ultimately lost. It doesn’t look as if Villa have taken very well to the drop down in the tier either because they have managed just the one win so far this term. Last season in the top flight Villa and Newcastle played out draws in both meetings and that has actually happened in three of the last four meetings between them. The last two at Villa Park have ended in a 0-0 draw too and a 0-0 correct score punt on this one will fetch you a quote of 8/1 with bet365. So there’s hasn’t been much on show from Villa so far with their W1 D5 L2 record. The Villains have have drawn five of their last six league games (L1) now and have posted a W1 D3 record in their four home games so far.
You are probably looking at the game going under 2.5 goals pretty comfortably and that is a quote of 7/10 with Bet365. Villa are running on a ten match streak without having beaten Newcastle now (D5 L5) so there doesn’t appear to be a lot of value in backing them for a win on Saturday evening. Roberto Di Matteo has a lot of work ahead of him and success at this point would be a top half of the table finish, while a play off spot looks like their best route back to the top flight from the position they are in. Aston Villa have netted only one goal in their last five matches against Newcastle, but seven of their eighth Championship goals this season have been at home. Rudy Gestede has three for the season and is an 11/4 anytime goalscorer option.
There appeared to be no stopping Newcastle recently. They opened the season with back to back losses but then caught fire. They put together a huge five match winning streak and the last four in that sequence were with a clean sheet as well. But they suffered a setback at St James’ Park last weekend when Wolves showed up and beat them. That was a bit of a surprise but they could get back to winning ways here. They have the goals in them and 75% of their away games this season have been won to nil. Newcastle to win to to nil this fixture is a price of 3/1 with online betting site Bet365.
The top scorer this season in the Championship for Newcastle is Dwight Gayle with a four goal tally in six appearances. He should be a great option in the anytime goalscorer market for a price of 21/10. Jonjo Shelvey has netted three goals this season and is a 6/1 poke for the game. Newcastle have averaged over two goals per away game this season and they have conceded just the one goal on their travels as well. The Magpies are a quote of 8/11 in the draw no bet market for this one and it’s hard to see them suffering a loss here because Villa aren’t that threatening. The form is with the Magpies.

Aston Villa v Newcastle Predictions
Aston Villa haven’t done enough winning in the Championship to suggest that they are going to go out and beat Newcastle, one of the best sides in the division, on Saturday. Newcastle have been good on the road this term and are likely to get out with the win and they look value in the match outright. If you wanted to push it, then consider Newcastle to win to nil.
