Sunday sees the continuation of matches in the Premier League and the next preview features the clash between Newcastle United and Manchester United as the betting tips continue at St James’ Park in the later kick-off.
Newcastle United Prediction – Can Newcastle gain first home win?
The pressures of performing in front of their fiercely loyal but extremely demanding home crowd may be taking its toll on Newcastle United as they still remain without a home win this season under new manager, Steve Bruce.
The Magpies have recorded just the 1 win out of their first 7 matches of the season overall, which was a somewhat surprising 1-0 win away from home at Tottenham, but they’ve registered a measly return of just 2 points from their first 3 home matches of this new campaign to date.
An opening home match saw Newcastle suffer a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal, and they’ve since been held to back-to-back draws with Watford and Brighton in disappointing 1-1 and 0-0 stalemates respectively.
The departure of former striker, Ayoze Perez (12 goals last term) has been a big loss up front for the hosts so far this season, while new signing Joelinton has managed to score just once from his first 7 matches this season.
Manchester United Prediction – Can Chelsea head into break with fourth win on trot?
Manchester United occupy an extremely rare mid-table position in the Premier League prior to their trip to the north-east to face goal-shy Newcastle United, but perhaps this is the sign of things to come for the Red Devils as they’ve struggled to get going this season.
It was another uninspiring performance by Manchester United in the Europa League during the week when they were held to a 0-0 draw by hosts AZ Alkmaar, as United have captured just 3 wins out of their last 9 matches in all competitions.
The new campaign couldn’t have got off to a better start though for United as they inflicted a heavy 4-0 home win over old foes, Chelsea, at Old Trafford but they’ve managed just 1 further win from their subsequent 6 matches in the top flight.
That win came in the shape of a 1-0 home win against Leicester City while they still remain without an away win so far this season, following 1-1 draws at both Wolves and Southampton and a 2-0 defeat away at West Ham last time out on their travels.
Key-Facts – Newcastle United v Manchester United
- Newcastle United have scored just 1 goal in their first 3 home matches in the EPL
- Each of Manchester United’s last 4 away matches have resulted under 2.5 goals
- 3 of the last 4 meetings between these two sides at St James Park have ended under 2.5
Betting Tips Verdict
It looks like being another dour and dull encounter on Tyneside as both teams have struggled to find the back of the net this season.
