LiontipsNewcastle vs Arsenal. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (May 2, 2021).
Command Analysis
At the end of the season, the Magpies have joined the struggle for the Premier League spots and they've been rather successful in that. In the previous round, Newcastle drew away with Liverpool (1:1), extending the streak of no losses to four matches in a row. During this successful period, Steve Bruce's charges had a draw with Tottenham (2:2) and beat Burnley (2:1) and West Ham (3:2).
Those eight points significantly improved Newcastle's standings. The Magpies climbed to 16th place, breaking away from the relegation zone by nine points. Steve Bruce's team is practically guaranteed to stay in the Premier League for the next season, they only need to earn three points in the remaining five matches.
At home, Newcastle have not lost for five games in a row, but three of those games were tied. Apart from the Hammers, they only beat Southampton (3:2). In terms of home performance, Newcastle is 13th in the Premier League. Out of 16 home matches, the Magpies won five, drew five, and lost six games. Sadly, every now and then they make mistakes in defense: the Magpies conceded in their last eight home games in a row.
Midfielders Isaac Hayden, Ryan Fraser, and Joe Willock, defender Jamaal Lascelles, and goalkeeper Karl Darlow will miss the game due to injuries. Fabian Schar and Matt Ritchie might be able to return, but it is yet uncertain.
The North London club has nothing to catch in the Premier League this season. Currently, Arsenalare in tenth place in the standings. Mikel Arteta's charges have 46 points. The Gunners are seven points behind the seventh place.
Therefore, Arsenal are now betting on the Europa League. Last Thursday the Londoners played the first leg of the semifinals away against Villarreal, which they lost 1:2. The second leg is already next week, and of course, Arsenal has to keep that in mind.
Away the Gunners have not lost in four games in a row. On this streak, they beat Leicester (3:1) and Sheffield United (3:0), and had two draws: with West Ham (3:3) and Burnley (1:1).
