Manchester United vs Newcastle United Prediction
Manchester United Form
Manchester United conquered seven points from their last three matches and started off drawing 2-2 with Barcelona. Next up was a 3-0 win against Leicester, before Barcelona were defeated in 2-1 win. Manchester United won all five of their matches in the EFL Cup this season and without conceding a single goal. They scored 14 goals along the way.
Newcastle United Form
Newcastle United were only able to claim two points from their last three matches. They first drew 1-1 against West Ham, followed by another draw. This time it ended 1-1 against Bournemouth, before going down in a 0-2 defeat against Liverpool. Newcastle United claimed five wins in regular time and one after a penalty shoot-out on their way to the final. They banged in eight goals, whilst conceding twice.
We don't believe Manchester United are strong enough to claim a win against Newcastle United, but betting on the away win also looks a little too risky. A cautious bet on the visitors as a double-chance or the draw-no-bet solution is our preferred choice.
