Manchester City will expose their lead this weekend when they visit Newcastle for the Matchday 3 of the Premier League.
Newcastle have a dream this season and that is to return to Europe, something they haven’t achieved since the 2012/13 season, and this game will show if they are capable of that.
Manchester City, defending champion, arrives with perfect progress: two games won and without conceding goals. Those of Guardiola want to put their title race on track from the beginning.

Why Bet on Newcastle
Something important that Newcastle achieved this season was that they managed to maintain their base and punctually reinforce their weak points, in this case, the defense. Goalkeeper Nick Pope (Burnley), central defender Sven Botman (Lille), and left-back Matt Targett (Aston Villa, formerly on loan) arrived.
The results have been seen since the team has not conceded a goal and has 4 points after its victory against Nottingham Forest (2-0) and the tie in its visit to Brighton (0-0). Pope has played both games and was the best in the last one, while Targett was injured and missed Brighton and looks set to miss Manchester City as well. Botman did play last weekend and had a good performance.
Despite the team’s improvement, fans expected much more investment in reinforcements after the team was taken over by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund.
Why Bet on Manchester City
It was a great start for Manchester City. They beat West Ham 2-0 on debut and then crushed Bournemouth 4-0 to secure the top spot, being one of only two teams (alongside Arsenal) to have 6 points and, like Newcastle, have not received a goal.
Erling Haaland, the great reinforcement of the season, has 2 goals and 1 assist and has managed to fit in the best way in the starting team, which is practically the same as last season.
Guardiola has managed to maintain the hunger for titles at Manchester City, something very difficult, and they are taking advantage of the fact that their main rival, Liverpool, has not had a good start to begin to mark an important distance since we must remember that last year they were champions by only 1 point of difference.
Final Betting Analysis: Newcastle vs. Manchester City
Despite Newcastle being undefeated and not conceding goals, Manchester City arrives as the top scorer and with several important players in the attacking front that can break that defense of the Magpies. That is why we believe that the Citizens will be the winners.
At MyBookie.ag we find that Manchester City is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of -265, while Newcastle has +680 and the draw is at +410.
Last season Manchester City crushed Newcastle in both games: at home, they won 5-0, and away it was 0-4. The Citizens have 6 consecutive victories and the record of the last couple of decades is widely favorable for Pep’s side: since 2006 they have achieved 26 wins, 4 draws, and only 2 losses.
Go for a straight win for Manchester City in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on the win at -265, you will gain $38 for a total payout of $138.
