The Premier League is reaching the final stretch, and with only five matchdays left to play, Aston Villa prepares to face Newcastle trying to secure a spot in the next Europa League.
Europa League and UEFA Champions League group stage tickets are still in play. The Villans only need to secure at least one point to break parity with Chelsea, which is currently holding the gate to the European competition.
On the other hand, Newcastle is trying to continue a good streak and defend their place for one of the aforementioned UEFA Champions League spots, but The Magpies might have a tough time against a team that has the same streak.
With two strong teams running on all cylinders, we believe that the match going to unfold this weekend is bound to be quite fun, so we can hardly wait to see everything that is about to go down as we dive into the 33rd matchday of the Premier League.

Why Bet on Aston Villa?
The Villans are recovering from their elimination from the Champions League in a fierce battle against PSG. Despite winning over the Parisians 3-2, they could not turn the aggregate score around, ending 4-5. However, in local competition, they continued their streak going after a routine 3-0 win over Southampton.
Now, their focus should be on coming back next year to the top European competition, and the next matchdays would play an important role.
The Villans have been playing often, and one would worry that tired legs could be a big problem for Unai Emery’s troops this weekend.
Hause is still in the recovery room, while Leon Bailey remains doubtful for this match.
Why Bet on Newcastle?
The Magpies come in after rolling over Manchester United 4-1 the previous weekend, with the team remaining in the Champions League race.
Beating Aston Villa on the road is easier said than done. Newcastle has to put their efforts into stopping a team that is hurt but has not dropped the towel yet.
Joe Willock is a major doubt, while all Lewis Hall, Sven Botman, and Jamaal Lascelles remain in the recovery room.
Final Betting Analysis: Aston Villa vs. Newcastle
Unai Emery’s Villa side has been one of the most consistent at home this season. They have turned Villa Park into a fortress, boasting the second-best home record in the Premier League.
On the other hand, Newcastle had some good performances, especially in attack.
The odds at Gambyl Exchange favor Aston Villa, with a Moneyline of 2.375, while Newcastle sits at 2.997, and a draw is at 3.69.
Both teams are coming in from excellent recent runs, but Aston Villa is a little tired from so much activity. We do not see the hosts getting the victory. However, we think they will be capable of fending off a strong Newcastle.
We expect both teams to wrap the match up, splitting the points on a draw once the clash ends.
Go for a draw. If you bet $100 at 3.69, you will gain $269.00 for a total payout of $369.00
