Newcastle vs Manchester City Prediction

Newcastle Form

Newcastle hope to get back to winning ways after first beating Tottenham by 2-1, before winning 1-2 against Wolverhampton. The streak ended in a recent 3-1 defeat against Fulham. Newcastle managed a strong return of four wins from their previous six matches on home soil in the Premier League, where they also drew twice and lost none. They scored 14 goals and conceded four times.

Anything lower than at least a second place finish would probably be considered a disappointment for Manchester City, as they look to build a title challenge.

Manchester City Form

Manchester City look solid currently after going three matches unbeaten, which started by drawing 0-0 against Inter. They followed that up by sharing the spoils with Arsenal in a 2-2 draw, before taking out Watford in a 2-1 win. Manchester City are in imperial form on their travels, doing the clean sweep of six wins in six Premier League matches. It marks them out as the best away side in this competition across the last six games. They outscored their opponents by 17 goals to one along the way.

The Sky Blues ran away with the title last season and naturally enter the new campaign as favourites to repeat the feat. A strong start to the season could lay the foundations.

With Manchester City looking strong, we expect them to get the better of Newcastle, and with goals flowing freely, the hosts could be in for a hammering.

Newcastle have a record of three wins, one draw and one defeat in the Premier League this season. Manchester City have a record of four wins, one draw and zero defeats in the Premier League.
