Arsenal vs Newcastle Prediction & Betting tips
At least on paper, the first half of the English Premier League will be concluded on Monday evening. Arsenal and Newcastle will face each other at the Emirates Stadium in London on Monday from 20:00 p.m. The two teams thus close the 19th matchday of the current season.
Before the direct duel, neither the home side nor the guests can be satisfied with the season so far. However, the form curve of both teams points in a different direction. The Gunners recently achieved the turnaround and the Arteta-Elf is slowly but surely finding its way. The guests from Newcastle, however, are on the downward slide.
It is hard to imagine that the Bruce-Elf can end the negative run with aspiring Gunners. A guest victory, on the other hand, would result in more than eight stakes if successful.
Arsenal :
The Gunners have had a long gap between aspiration and reality, but the capital city team is still one of the top teams in English club football. It was all the more surprising that the club’s management stuck to Mikel Arteta despite only one win in ten Premier League games. The Spaniard was counted, but was able to (temporarily) stay in office.
Ironically, in the prestigious derby against city rivals Chelsea, the Gunners managed to step out of the crisis. The 3-1 success on Boxing Day was a kind of initial spark for the Gunners, who subsequently celebrated mandatory victories away against Brighton & Hove Albion and newly promoted West Bromwich Albion.
In the English week, the Arteta-Elf had to be content with a draw for the first time after three wins. Against the ultra-defensive style of play by Crystal Palace, Arsenal bit their teeth despite almost 70% possession. On a positive note, however, is the fact that Bernd Leno kept his box clean for the third time in a row.
The Gunners stabilized the defensive, accordingly the tip between Arsenal and Newcastle that both teams do not score is recommended.
Thanks to the upswing in recent weeks, Arsenal have established themselves in midfield in the current Premier League table and can slowly but surely look up.
The statistics speak for a successful start to the week. Of the last 20 Premier League games on Monday, Arsenal have won 13 games, drew three times and lost just five times. In addition, Arsenal have won the last six home games on the first working day of the week.
Mikel Arteta can count on Kieran Tierney again, who had to pass against the Eagles from Selhurst, and central defender Gabriel Magalhaes is available again, but due to the strong defensive performance, a change is not expected. Striker Gabriel Martinelli, however, will still be absent.
Newcastle:
An unnecessary yellow-red card from Ryan Fraser within just three minutes and an unfortunate handball from central defender Federico Fernandez ensured that bottom team Sheffield United celebrated their first league win of the 2020/21 season during the week.
The defeat at Bramall Lane exacerbated the crisis in Newcastle United’s camp. Steve Bruce’s team celebrated their last competitive win on December 12th against newly promoted West Bromwich Albion (2-1). Since this success, the Bruce-Elf has played eight more games, in which Newcastle left the place as a loser six times.
Newcastle are ranked lower and lower in the Premier League, the lead on the first relegation place is currently seven points. In view of the current development, the Magpies supporters have to get used to the idea of ”relegation battle” for better or worse.
Even winning points on Monday evening at the Emirates Stadium could definitely be seen as a sense of achievement. Not only the current constitution speaks against the guests, but also the look at the historical statistics in the Premier League. Of the last 17 Monday evening games (which Newcastle also played all away), no fewer than 13 games were lost. In twelve of these 17 games, not even one goal could be celebrated.
Not only Newcastle has disastrous memories of the trips to the Emirates Stadium, but also head coach Steve Bruce. He has not won any of his eleven guest appearances there (three draws, eight defeats), and only three goals were scored. Arguments that justify a prognosis in the direction of the guests at Arsenal against Newcastle are de facto not to be found.
