Newcastle vs. Aston Villa Preview and Betting Odds

Why bet on Newcastle?

Newcastle’s great numbers don’t reflect on their position in the table (8th with 26 points). The Magpies have 27 goals in favor and 21 against, the same as Bournemouth but are three spots behind in the table. They also have one of the best attacks behind the top three of the league, and their defense may not be remarkable, but it’s better than that of Aston Villa and Manchester City, the teams just above them.

However, they have two wins, a defeat, and two draws in their last five games, highlighting their inconsistencies. They must rely on their great recent history against this rival to raise their winning streak to three and ignite their quest for European competition places.

As they are close to the top of the table, the teams behind them are also waiting for a chance to catch them at any slip-up. With 25 points, Fulham and Brighton could overtake them quickly.

Why bet on Aston Villa?

The Villians started the season at a great pace but suddenly started to falter towards the midseason stage. However, they have been recovering some ground lately, with three wins in their last five matches, but they got two losses. The team struggles a lot with the rivals above them in the table, as shown in their recent game against Nottingham Forest when they suffered a comeback.

However, they have the tools to assemble a winning streak that could establish them in the top four. John Duran is the striker in the league with the best goals per minute played average (one every 80 minutes,) and plays like Rogers and Digne provide flare and surprise in the flanks to assault rival defenses.

The visitors come from a great win against Manchester City with an imperial Morgan Rogers, who scored a goal and gave an assist, and hope to build on that.

Final Betting Analysis: Newcastle vs. Aston Villa

In the last 53 matches between these traditional teams from the Premier League, there is great dominance by the Magpies, who have 23 wins, contrary to just 12 by the Villians. There were 18 draws.

In this sense, the last five matches show similar results, with three wins for Newcastle, one for the Villians, and one draw. The most remarkable result in this streak is the Magpies’ great 5-1 victory in St. James’ Park in the opening match from the previous season.

While both teams are at great level, it’s hard to believe that Aston Villa can change their recent history to get their first victory in Newcastle Upon Tyne since 2005, so we’ll go for a win for the locals by 3-1.

Go for a victory for Newcastle at 1.966. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $96.6 for a total payout of $196.6.
