Command Analysis

Aston Villa

Aston Villa almost made it into the Top 10 last season. The seven-times champion of the Premier League won 16 fixtures out of 38 and drew 7 matches. 55 points put them on the 11th line of the table. At the end of the season, the Villans defeated such formidable opponents as Tottenham (2:1) and Chelsea (2:1).

Aston Villa set the Premier League record for the most expensive transfer this summer. Jack Grealish moved to Chelsea for 117,5 million euros.

In the first round, the Villans lost away to the newly promoted Watford (2:3).

Watkins has a knee injury and won't be able to help his team. Trezeguet, Sanson, andLuiz are also unavailable this weekend.

Newcastle United

The six-time FA Cup winner and four-time Premier League champion, Newcastle finished last season right behind Villa. The Geordies chalked up 12 victories and 9 draws, which brought them 45 points.

The team's weakest link was the line of defense. However, at the end of the season, Newcastle gave a series of victories: they defeated Leicester (4:2), Sheffield United (1:0), and Fulham (2:0). In the first game of the new season, the Magpies lost at home to West Ham in a 2:4 thriller.

Anderson, Dummett, Dubravka, and Darlow are sidelined for this game.

Tip and bets

TipTotal under 2.5 goals

2.18

Both Aston Villa and Newcastle will be looking to bounce back from defeats in their Premier League season openers. The opponents have drawn each other a lot in the latest matchups, and the lineups are of approximately equal strength. Aston Villa and Newcastle will lock horns in the fight for the first points, and keep each other away from goal boxes. We think that 1 or 2 goals will decide the winner in Birmingham.

Our prediction - total under 2.5 goals.
