Bet on a draw
These are two teams aiming for a top four finish this season which would see them qualify for next season’s Champions League. This promises to be a competitive game and neither side will try to take too many risks. Both teams are on 41 points with Man City being fifth and Newcastle sixth. The Cityzens lead Newcastle by virtue of goal difference. The two teams enter this clash two points adrift of fourth place Chelsea. The game will be confined to midfield as both teams try to prevent the other from getting too many scoring opportunities. A draw is certainly on the cards.
Bet on the game to end 1-1
Newcastle enter this game full of confidence and are on a run of two wins in all competitions. Man City have been inconsistent by their standards this season. This season has been a disaster for Pep Guardiola’s side. Rather than being title challengers, they face a test to just finish in the top four, something which has not been the case since Guardiola’s first season in charge of the club back in 2016-17.
Newcastle will back themselves to win this game and play attacking football in light of City’s inconsistencies. However, City have world class attackers such as Kevin de Bruyne and Erling Haaland in their team and should score against the run of play. A low scoring draw is on the cards and so we expect the game to end 1-1.
Bet on both teams to score
As it stands, both teams find their strength in their attacking unit with their weakness being defence. Both teams have world-class attacking talent while their defence drops the ball at times and so it is likely that both teams will find the back of the net in this game.
