Manchester United vs Newcastle

Old Trafford, Manchester

Manchester United vs Newcastle Football Preview

United impressed in their 2-1 win at Goodison Park, taking them to the dizzy heights of fifth with a  game in hand. The three points continued their impressive form away from home – no team has picked up more points on the road – and showed glimpses of both attacking fluidity and defensive solidity. They face another tricky test this weekend as Erik ten Hag’s side prepare to host an in-form Newcastle.

The Magpies have now won back-to-back games for the first time this campaign, scoring nine goals in emphatic wins over Fulham and Brentford. Eddie Howe’s side have now lost just once in nine league outings, with their last defeat coming at the end of August. They arrive at Old Trafford in a rich vein of form, with the return of Callum Wilson a huge boost ahead of a packed pre-World Cup schedule.

The visitors were on the end of a 4-1 drubbing when they last played at Old Trafford, as Cristiano Ronaldo netted a brace on his return to the club. The loss was the latest in a list of results that doesn’t make for good reading for Newcastle fans. They have lost six of their last seven away games against United, conceding a minimum of three goals in each defeat. In fact, a win in 2013 was Newcastle’s only win at Old Trafford in the Premier League era.

This fixture promises goals more often than not. Four of the last five meetings have featured 4+ goals, with a 0-0 draw in 2015 the only goalless game in the last decade. Both will be confident in taking the points, with a temporary place in the top four potentially up for grabs.

Manchester United vs Newcastle Football Odds

The hosts are favourites (13/14) heading into the tie, with a Newcastle win (38/15) and draw (49/18) offering large returns. Both teams to score (10/17) is a likely occurrence, with Ronaldo (39/10) leading the odds to open the scoring following his winner and 700th career club goal against Everton.

Manchester United vs Newcastle Betting Tips

*Odds correct at the time of publication and subject to change.

Man United win and both teams to score – 37/15

After scoring nine goals in two games, it’s tough to see Newcastle failing to get on the scoresheet. However, United looked good in their last league outing and their recent record in this fixture is difficult to ignore. This bet has landed in the last five meetings between these sides at Old Trafford.

Marcus Rashford first goalscorer – 67/10

Rashford is United’s form man and will be crucial if they are to get off to a fast start. He was on target twice against Arsenal, twice against Omonia and was unlucky to have a goal ruled out against Everton. He looks somewhere close to being back to his best.
