Aston Villa head into this weekend on the back of a midweek European fixture. They currently sit seventh in the table with 54 points, just one point off the top five. A win here could push them closer to a Champions League spot.
Despite their attacking firepower, Villa have struggled defensively, conceding the most goals among teams in the current top eight. However, the likes of Ollie Watkins, Marcus Rashford, and Marco Asensio can trouble any defense on their day.
Betting On Newcastle United
- 1XBet Spread: 0
- 1XBet Moneyline: 2.675
- 1XBet Over/Under: Under 2.5
Newcastle have been in strong form, boasting the best record over the last five league matches. They’re third on the table with 59 points and look to strengthen their grip on Champions League qualification.
The Magpies have been free-scoring lately, and their attacking balance under Eddie Howe makes them tough to beat. But they’ll need to remain tight at the back to avoid being exposed by Villa’s quick forwards.
MatchPlug Prediction For Aston Villa VS Newcastle United
This is a huge game in the top-four race, with both teams motivated and in good form. With attacking talent on both sides and shaky defenses, goals are expected. It’s hard to split the sides, so we’re leaning towards a score draw.
Final Prediction: Draw
