Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips
Newcastle United find themselves dangerously close to the relegation zone ahead of their encounter with Manchester United at St James’ Park on Sunday afternoon, after Stoke City and Swansea City earned vital points on Saturday afternoon.
Newcastle are level on points with third from bottom club Stoke, but having gained just one win from their last seven in the Premier League, Newcastle will have their work cut out to get something against a Manchester United outfit who are keen to maintain their Champions League position.
That rare win was a 1-0 victory at a floundering Stoke when former manager Mark Hughes was in charge, and The Magpies have been unable to pull themselves away from the relegation dogfight as they’ve drawn four of these last seven. They possess a home record of 3-4-6 11/15, and haven’t won at home since last October (1-0 v Crystal Palace).
By comparison, Manchester United’s recent form has been excellent as they’ve picked up four wins from their last five overall, with wins over Everton, Stoke City, Burnley and Huddersfield Town, and the Red Devils have suffered just one defeat in their last ten matches in the top flight.
Indeed, United have lost just twice in their last 15 league matches (which were losses to Manchester City and Tottenham), and whilst the brand of football is nowhere near as exciting as the Sir Alex Ferguson days, they continue to churn out the results.
Manchester United also possess a useful looking away record which stands at 7-3-3 22/13 and the loss at Tottenham has been their only blip in their last seven trips, which has yielded five wins on their travels.
