Manchester United vs Newcastle United Preview and Team News
Manchester United Team News
Manchester United have been unbeaten in four of their last five matches. Their sole defeat has come most recently in a 1-2 loss to Aston Villa. The Red Devils have scored 12 goals in their last five outings, but they’ve kept just one clean sheet in the league this season.
United impressed against Villa by keeping 57% possession, but they lacked a cutting edge in the final third.
They have a lot of absentees in their squad. While Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo, and Noussair Mazraoui are away on national duty at AFCON, Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo have been ruled out with injuries. Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt are considered doubtful due to knocks.
Manchester United predicted lineup vs Newcastle United (3-4-2-1): Lammens; Shaw, Heaven, Yoro; Dorgu, Ugarte, Casemiro, Dalot; Mount, Cunha; Sesko.
Newcastle United Team News
Newcastle currently sit 11th in the table. Like their rivals, Man United, they’ve been unbeaten in four of their last five outings.
Their most recent match ended in a 2-2 draw with Chelsea, even though they’d built a two-goal lead within the first 20 minutes. Jacob Murphy created the most chances (3) and also posted an expected assists figure of 0.52.
The Magpies have several players sidelined with injuries, including Nick Pope, Valentin Livramento, Daniel Burn, Emil Krafth, Jamal Lascelles, Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman, and William Osula.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Manchester United (4-3-3): Ramsdale; Hall, Schar, Thiaw, Miley; Ramsey, Tonali, Guimaraes; Gordon, Wolteade, Murphy.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United Prediction
- Pick: Manchester United to win or draw
- Odds: -238 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Manchester United 2-1 Newcastle United
We expect Manchester United to either win or draw. The Red Devils are ranked higher than their opponents in the table (seventh). They’ve also picked up more points at home (14) than Newcastle have managed on the road (six).
In fact, the Magpies’ poor away record speaks volumes, as they’ve won just one of the eight games they’ve played. They also sport a negative goal difference of -3 on the road.
Manchester United vs Newcastle United Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 0.5 goals in the first half
- Odds: -323 (20Bet)
We expect at least one goal in the opening half. Manchester United will be dealt a huge blow with Fernandes, their leading player when it comes to goal involvement (12), sidelined. However, Matheus Cunha (three goals), Mason Mount (three goals), and Casemiro (four goals) should still provide an attacking threat.
For the visitors, Nick Woltemade leads the team with seven goals, while Bruno Guimaraes has seven goal involvements. The Magpies’ recent goalscoring spree against Chelsea further supports this prediction. Even United found the back of the net in the first half against Villa.
