Aston Villa vs Newcastle Prediction

Aston Villa Form

Aston Villa are looking to bounce back from a recent setback and get back to winning ways. In their last three matches, they first took out Bournemouth by 0-1, before beating Tottenham by 2-0. The winning streak came to an end against Manchester United, who ran out 2-0 winners. Aston Villa have been in potent form at Villa Park, winning no less than five of the past six Premier League matches here. They remained without defeat, as they drew once, hammered in 13 goals while letting in five.

Newcastle Form

Newcastle have only one win in their last three matches, as they did beat Chelsea by 2-0. Disappointment followed, going down 1-0 against Arsenal, and 0-1 against Everton. In their last six away matches in the Premier League, Newcastle won twice, while also recording one draw. They endured three defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying eight goals conceded and six scored.

You could argue a case on behalf of both teams, but form quite simply looks better, and the prices with the bookmakers for a home win are decent. Therefore, Aston Villa get the nod here against Newcastle.
