Aston Villa v Newcastle Betting Preview
A great looking fixture for Newcastle, not so much Aston Villa. The Villains would top their longest ever losing streak of eleven games if they go down in this one. Newcastle have posted a four match unbeaten streak in the top flight for the first time since 2014 and have managed to get out of the drop zone. They may be out of the drop zone but they aren’t safe yet, however a big three points against the relegated Villains would go a long way to potentially securing their top flight status.

Aston Villa v Newcastle Betting Tips
Not a great stretch of form then from Villa. That’s an understatement because they have lost their last eleven Premier League matches. Only Sunderland have managed to lose more consecutive games in the competition, putting a twenty match losing streak together between January 2003 and September 2005. Not since beating Norwich back on February 6th (just their third win of the season) have Aston Villa taken a single point. It’s been that poor from them and even when they have been putting the ball in the back of the net, as they have done in their last two, they have still lost. Villa were beaten 4-2 by Southampton and then 3-2 by Watford in their last two league outings. They are trying to finish with a bang, but can’t make it happen. Villa have scored just 14 goals at Villa Park this season and hold a W2 D4 L12. It’s been a massive decline.
Still, with Villa’s output in their last two games it is probably worth having a punt on the game going over 2.5 goals for a quote on 5/6. Newcastle have to come out and get goals in this one, a necessity if things get down to goal difference in the relegation scrap. So not only have Aston Villa been in poor form this season, they have not beaten Newcastle in any of their last nine Premier League meetings with them. Villa have lost five of those last nine against the Magpies. Newcastle have put together a a W2 D2 unbeaten stretch in the top flight, the first time that they have gone unbeaten in the Premier League since 2014. They ended a nine match losing streak on the road in their last away game in taking a draw at Anfield against Liverpool. That is the only point that they have taken on the road in 2016 though.
So they can’t sleep easily just yet, but beating Villa would put pressure on Sunderland and Norwich. If they lose though and Sunderland take a point or Norwich beat Man Utd, then the Magpies would be back in the drop zone, having played a game more than both of those. It’s very tight at the bottom. Newcastle have struggled for goals on the road having scored only 13 in their last 24 away from St James Park in the top flight. However, they have netted five in their last three away from home. Papiss Cisse and Aleksandar Mitrovic are 11/8 quotes in the anytime goalscorer market against Villa. Newcastle have only carded a very poor W2 L2 L14 record away from home this season, but any kind of win over Villa would be highly welcome.

Aston Villa v Newcastle Predictions
There have only been the four goals scored in the last four between these two in the top flight, but Villa have woken up going forward, while Newcastle have to come and show intent of getting three points on the board. Have a punt over 2.5 goals but it is still likely to end up being three points for the Magpies.
