LiontipsNewcastle United vs Aston Villa. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 English Premier League (October 29, 2022).
Command Analysis
It has been a year since Newcastle United was bought by a consortium led by the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia. After 12 games, the team is in the top-4 in the Premier League, fighting for European football for the first time since 2011.
In the last round, the Magpies beat Tottenham (2:1) - this was their fourth victory in five games. Newcastle can boast of the best defensive record in the league as they conceded only 10 goals in 12 matches.
The hosts will be without Isak, Darlow, Saint-Maximin, Ritchie, and Krafth.
Aston Villahaven't won at Newcastle since 2005, and we do not expect the Lions to deliver a winning performance in the upcoming game. They have scored only three goals in six away games and managed 12 points from 12 matches.
In the last game, however, Aston Villa got a clean-sheet victory over Brentford (4:0), which proved that the team has potential. Moreover, the club has confirmed the appointment of Unai Emery as their new manager following the sacking of Steven Gerrard.
Digne, Diego Carlos, and Augustinsson are sidelined through injuries.

Tip and bets
We will be backing the home team here. Newcastle are enjoying a good run of form and have a good chance of getting in the top-3 if they win this weekend. Aston Villa crushed Brentford a week ago, but we doubt they can overcome the Magpies at St. James Park.
Our prediction — Newcastle to win
This should be an intense game. Both sides are likely to focus on their defenses, so don't expect a large number of goals here. Take the under.
Second bet — total under 2.5 goals
