Arsenal vs Newcastle Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 24th February 2024

The Gunners are highly favoured to claim a win against Newcastle, whom they face on Saturday. In their current shape, a win at Emirates Stadium seems to be the obvious outcome.

The Gunners are third in the Premier League standings after collecting 55 points from their initial 25 encounters. The Magpies trail them on 37 points after 25 rounds, leaving them as number eight in the table.

Arsenal are looking for revenge after succumbing to a disappointing defeat in the last meeting against Newcastle. Judging by the odds from the bookmakers, they have a good chance of making it.

Arsenal were defeated by 1-0 in their last encounter with Newcastle, but did win the reverse match 2-0, though.

Arsenal should be too strong against Newcastle to drop any points, and combining this with over 2.5 goals, ups the price on the expected home win at Emirates Stadium.
