Arsenal vs. Newcastle Preview and Free Pick

The Premier League is still tight in the fight for the title, and Arsenal, which is currently behind Liverpool, wants to put pressure, but for that, it must beat Newcastle. 

With Bukayo Saka’s brace, the Gunners are coming from thrashing Burnley by 0-5 in the previous matchday. 

The Magpies continue their irregular streak and drew 2-2 at home against Bournemouth, so they are still far from the European competition places.

Why Bet on Arsenal?

After beating Liverpool 3-1, Arsenal is living a great moment, winning and beating their rivals to a pulp in the Premier League. 

In their last match, the Gunners thrashed Burnley 0-5, with Bukayo Saka scoring twice and Martin Odegaard, Leandro Trossard, and Kai Havertz scoring goals. 

Arsenal have won the last five games, scoring 21 goals in that span and conceding just two. Mikel Arteta’s side have become a steamroller. In the last two matches, both away from home, they scored 11 goals and conceded none. 

The London side has 55 points this season, the product of 17 wins, four draws, and the same number of defeats. At home, they have only lost once, with 29 points out of a possible 36. Liverpool is in the lead with 57 and Manchester City has 56. 

Saka is in top form, scoring in the last four games and with two braces in a row. The winger already has 12 goals in the English season. 

Arteta has several players with injuries: Gabriel Jesus, Thomas Partey, Fabio Vieira, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Oleksandr Zinchenko. 

Why Bet on Newcastle?

It was expected that after their excellent season, Newcastle would confirm their investment and great moment by fighting for the Premier League title, something that did not happen. 

The Magpies last tied 2-2 with Bournemouth. The goals were scored by Anthony Gordon and Matt Ritchie, the latter at 90+2′. 

Newcastle avoided defeat, but for now, the team is eighth with 37 points, 12 points behind fourth place, which currently belongs to Aston Villa. 

Considering that they finished last in their Champions League group and their Premier League is far from expectations, there are already rumors regarding the future of coach Eddie Howe. 

Despite all that, we must say that the Magpies are on a five-game unbeaten streak. They won three matches and drew the remaining two. 

They have had a big problem, and that is leaving their stadium. In 12 away games, they have won only three times, a low figure for such an expensive squad. What’s more, away they have scored just 22 goals and allowed 25. 

Howe’s injured players are Alexander Isak, Joelinton, Matt Targett, Elliot Anderson, and probably the most painful, goalkeeper Nick Pope, as Martin Dúbravka started well but in the last games has not responded as expected. 

Final Betting Analysis: Arsenal vs. Newcastle

In the first leg, Newcastle beat the Gunners 1-0 with a controversial goal from Anthony Gordon, while the last game in London was a goalless draw in January last year. The last time the Magpies beat this rival away was in 2010 (0-1).

The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Arsenal as the favorite. The Moneyline for them shows 1.401, while Newcastle has 8.15, and the draw is at 5.57. 

Arsenal is in a great moment, and they are not going to waste it, having to put pressure on Liverpool. They will take the chance against this poor visitor and take a 1-0 win. 

Go for a win in Arsenal’s Moneyline. If you bet $100 at 1.401, you will gain $40 for a total payout of $140.
