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.
