Newcastle vs Manchester United Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips

🏆 Newcastle vs Manchester United EPL Prediction

Newcastle and Manchester United have done battle in 177 occasions, with the sides winning 45 and 91 times respectively. However, while the Magpies have only won three of the previous 11 encounters in all competitions since October 2023, this sequence includes consecutive victories in the last two matches (including a 3-0 League Cup triumph at Old Trafford earlier in the season).

Overall, Newcastle have won just five of their last 10 games in all competitions this season, as their form has stuttered against the backdrop of a mounting injury crisis. Conversely, Erik ten Hag’s side have amassed the most Premier League points over the course of the last six matches, winning five of these games and taking 15 points from a possible 18.

No side has accumulated more points during the same period, while United haven’t conceded an EPL goal since Erling Haaland scored City’s third in the Manchester derby on October 29th. Certainly, the Red Devils are more defensively proactive and have completed 705 ball recoveries this season (the fifth highest tally in the division), and this will stand them in good stead against an intense and incredibly efficient Newcastle side.

Remember, Newcastle have outperformed their xG tally by an impressive +5.3, while their goals-to-shot ratio of 0.17 is the highest in the Premier League. These statistics all hint at a competitive and evenly matched game that has draw written all over it, especially after both teams’ Champions League exploits on the road in midweek.

🥅 Newcastle vs Manchester United: Over/Under 2.5 Goals

Newcastle and Manchester United have contested 39 matches in 2023/24, with these games producing 117 goals at a rate of exactly 3.00 per 90 minutes. The Magpies also plundered three goals without reply at Old Trafford in the EPL Cup on November 1st, so the over/under odds unsurprisingly imply a slightly higher probability of over 2.5 goals being scored in this contest.

Under/Over
Over 2.5 Goals	1.67	1.75	1.69	1.70	1.73
Under 2.5 Goals	2.05	2.05	2.03	2.00	2.00

1️⃣ Newcastle Update

Newcastle’s run of eight home wins in 10 games has included six EPL victories, with Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund the only sides to beat the Magpies at St James Park this season. Overall, they’ve only lost three of their last 17 games in all competitions since February 18th, while their Premier League xG value of 25.7 is now the fourth highest in the League. Individually, both Isak and fellow striker Callum Wilson have exceeded their own xG values of 6.0 and 5.9 respectively this season, while winger Anthony Gordon has scored five EPL goals from an xG value of just 3.5. So, if they create chances, they’re highly efficient and a match for any opponent.

Alexander Isak and centre-back Fabian Schar both returned to action in the 4-1 win over Chelsea last weekend, while Miguel Almiron was passed fit ahead of the UCL clash with PSG. Sean Longstaff is also expected to be in contention for a starting place against Manchester United, easing Newcastle’s injury crisis somewhat. However, Sven Botman (knee), Elliott Anderson (back) and Callum Wilson (hamstring) have all been ruled out, as has Matt Targett (also hamstring). Harvey Barnes (foot), Dan Burn (back), Joe Willock (Achilles tendon problems) and Jacob Murphy (shoulder) are longer-term absentees, while Sandro Tonali continues to serve his hefty 10-game suspension.

2️⃣ Man United Update

Given the criticism that Manchester United and their manager Erik ten Hag have faced this season, it’s incredible to think that the side sits just six points off the top of the EPL table and is only four points adrift of the top four. This is thanks largely to a run of five wins in six Premier League matches, which have seen the side keep three successive clean sheets and suffer a single defeat to Manchester City. In the EPL, the Red Devils haven’t lost on the road since an unfortunate 3-1 defeat at league leaders Arsenal on September 3rd, while the return of Luke Shaw at left back has come at a truly optimal time. All eyes will be on young Argentinian winger Alejandro Garnacho too, after his goal of the season contender at Goodison last weekend.

The return of Luke Shaw from injury and Aaron Wan-Bissaka from illness has boosted United significantly, while young Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund is expected to have recovered from a hamstring strain. However, Lisandro Martinez (foot), Tyrell Malacia (knee) and Jonny Evans (hamstring) remain key defensive absentees, while Casemiro is also sidelined with a knock. Midfield partner Cristian Eriksen (knee) has been ruled out until December, so the impressive Kobbie Mainoo is expected to anchor the middle of the park once again at St James Park. Mason Mount (unknown injury) and winger Amad Diallo (knee) have also been ruled out for the trip to Newcastle.
