Newcastle vs Manchester United Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

It’s been many years since we saw Newcastle United go into a match against the Red Devils as the favourites, but that is the case in this one, with the hosts priced at 2.3 on most bookmakers’ odds to come away with the win. The visitors are returning an attractive 3.0 to take all three points from the match, while the draw is currently priced as the outside option at 3.4 and better. The visitors have been incredible in an attacking sense since the World Cup break, but without the influential Casemiro in midfield, they are always susceptible to concede themselves, and that brings the both teams to score option into play at 1.7. Marcus Rashford has been Man United's most prolific player this season, with the Englishman scoring 10 goals in his last 12 league matches. At odds of 3.1, for him to score anytime, it could be a handsome return for backers that fancy a punt on Man United’s number 10 to register a goal in this one. 

Newcastle United is currently in fifth place in the Premier League, with 47 points after 26 matches. The hosts are two points behind Spurs and the Champions League qualification spots, though they do have two games in hand on the side from London. Over their last six matches, Newcastle has won two, drawn two, and lost two, while at home this season, they have a strong record of seven wins, five draws, and just one loss in 13 matches at St James Park. Man United, meanwhile, played out a stalemate in their last Premier League match against Southampton, which was their second draw in their last six matches, along with three wins and a loss. The visitor's record on the road has been underwhelming this season, with six wins, two draws, and five losses away from Old Trafford. However, Man United does have the better recent record in this fixture and come into this match unbeaten in their last six encounters against this opponent (W4, D2).
