Manchester Utd vs Newcastle Prediction & Betting tips
Old Trafford is the setting for the Premier League match between Manchester United and Newcastle United on Sunday evening. Both teams have completely different interests. Manchester United are still in the race for Champions League qualification; Newcastle United must take points to stay above the line.
Manchester United:
At Manchester United they have put a possible championship out of their mind. Leader Manchester City managed to win a catch-up game earlier this week, making the gap even bigger for Manchester United. The English record champion was the last to win the Premier League in the 2012-2013 season. This season, Manchester United will again not succeed. At the moment there is no size at Manchester City and at Manchester United they have to accept that the city rivals will most likely become champions. Given the achievements of Ole Gunnar Solskjar and Manchester United, The Red Devils are also not entitled to success in the Premier League. Manchester United is performing above expectations this season. The problem is that The Red Devils dropped points when it had to be there.
Crystal Palace and Shefield United, for example, managed to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford in recent months. A more recent example took place last weekend: Manchester United came to visit relegation candidate West Bromwich no further than a 1-1 draw. On Thursday evening, Manchester United did revanch themselves by being too strong for Real Sociedad in the Europa League with 0-4. Of course, Manchester United is one of the favorites for Europa League victory and in addition, The Red Devils are also in the race for the FA Cup. In addition, there is still plenty at stake in the Premier League: Solskjar and his team will want to get a Champions League ticket through the competition. The season is certainly not over for Manchester United.
Newcastle United:
Newcastle United currently has completely different concerns than Manchester United. Steve Bruce’s side is seventeenth in the Premier League and sees Fulham getting closer and closer. At Newcastle United a few weeks ago they secretly had the hope of being safe, but the advance of Fulham is no longer a certainty. For the time being, Newcastle United still has a head start on the London club, but Newcastle must also grab points in the coming period if it wants to stay out of trouble. It is certainly not the case that Newcastle United has not performed in the Premier League for months. In fact, Newcastle took six points in the last four games.
In recent weeks, Newcastle has been too strong for Everton (0-2) and Southampton (3-2), while The Magpies went down against Crystal Palace (1-2) and Chelsea (2-0). It is striking that Newcastle United is currently ranked so low in the Premier League. On paper Newcastle has a selection with which it should be able to finish somewhere around 13th place. The problem for Bruce and his men is that Newcastle United is regularly hit by injuries this season. A recent example is Callum Wilson. The 28-year-old former Bournemouth striker has already had ten league goals to his name, but recently injured his hamstring and is out for several weeks.
