Newcastle Form

Showing inconsistent form, Newcastle lost two of their past three matches, going down 4-1 against Leeds, before beating Hull 2-1. The joy was short-lived, as Coventry proved too strong in a 4-1 defeat. Newcastle won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Premier League, while also drawing two. They suffered one defeats, while they scored 13 and conceded nine goals.

Newcastle had their sights set on the Premier League title, but current form sees them way off track. A quick upturn is needed.

In their last six away matches in the Premier League, Aston Villa won twice, while also recording two draws. They endured two defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying ten goals conceded and seven scored.

Aston Villa entered the season dreaming of medals, but find themselves far off track following a lousy run of form.

Newcastle and Aston Villa are firing on all cylinders, when it comes to goals currently, and we could be in for a very entertaining match this coming Saturday.
