Newcastle vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting tips
This week the start of a new round in the Premier League takes place at St. James’ Park. Local pride Newcastle United then receives high visitors in its own stadium, as Manchester City is the opponent in the impressive home of The Magpies on Saturday afternoon.
Newcastle United:
Last season Newcastle United cleverly won 2-1 against Manchester City at its own St. James’ Park. The Magpies would logically show the same results if Manchester City is a guest again on Saturday afternoon, but the chance that the top club will once again lose points at St. James’ Park is not that great. Nevertheless, Newcastle United always succeeds in making it difficult for top teams to be a guest at St. James’ Park and Manchester City will not be as full as two when it comes to visit Steve’s team Bruce.
Newcastle United also failed to get the full loot this week when visiting Aston Villa. The Magpies lost 2-0 on Villa Park on Monday-evening, while Newcastle United had won the two games before that. Bruce was fired by Aston Villa more than a year ago and the current manager of Newcastle United was unable to get his gram from his former employer. In-house, Newcastle United only lost in a competitive setting this season during the opening weekend, when Arsenal won slightly flattering 0-1 against The Magpies.
Manchester City:
The Manchester City by Pep Guardiola has been performing rather unstable lately. For example, Manchester City “only” won two of the last five games it played, and for a club like Manchester City those are not numbers to brag about. The Citizens lost one time in that series of five games and that was exactly the competition meeting with competitor Liverpool: 3-1 loss. In addition, Manchester City lost points twice in the Champions League group stage, as in addition to the 1-1 draw visiting Atalanta Bergamo, The Citizens also got no further than a 1-1 draw at home against Shakhtar Donetsk last Tuesday.
Pep’s team, on the other hand, convincingly qualified for the knockout phase of the Champions League and therefore there is no reason to panic at Manchester City, which in the Premier League is still nine points behind Liverpool. Moreover, Manchester City is not even in second place in the Premier League, because Leicester City took one point more than The Citizens in the last thirteen games. Manchester City is facing a tough program in the coming weeks, including the away games against Newcastle United and Arsenal, and next weekend the Guardiola team will also have a derby against Manchester United. Sergio Agüero was injured against Chelsea last week, has been out for at least two weeks and that also means that the Argentinian is not competing against Manchester United.
