As part of the seventh round of the English Premier League, Newcastle will host Aston Villa. The guests are only two points ahead of the relegation zone, while the hosts occupy the 11th place. Who will be able to score tournament points on October 17th? The answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Newcastle United
Current form
Newcastle lost key players in the summer - Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes were sold for a lot of money. However, the results did not worsen. The Magpies finished last season in 12th place, and now they are on the 11th line. The hosts are only two points behind the European Cup zone. In the Premier League, the team managed to beat Tottenham (2:0) and Hull (2:1), as well as draw with Liverpool (2:2) and Bournemouth (2:2).
In addition, Matthias Jaissle's team went through two stages in the League Cup, beating their rivals from the Championship: West Brom (3:2) and Millwall (1:0). In the last away matches of the Premier League, Newcastle lost heavily to not the strongest opponents, Leeds (1:4) and Coventry City (1:4).
Disqualifications and injuries
Elanga, Livramento and Ramsey will miss the match due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
The club has not lost on its own field so far this season.
Both teams have scored in the last three matches of the hosts.
Aston Villa has not lived up to expectations this season. The current Europa League winner occupies only the 16th place in the Premier League standings and is only two points ahead of the relegation zone. Nevertheless, recent matches have been very successful for the wards of Unai Emery. In the English Premier League, they finally managed to win their first victory, beating Tottenham on the road (3:2), and in the League Cup they managed to beat Coventry City (3:1).
In the last round of the Premier League, the guests drew with Brentford (2:2). Villa also made a good start in the Champions League, scoring six points against Brugge (3-2) and Fenerbahce (6-0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Matsen, Onana and Ruggeri will miss the match due to injuries. The appearance of Cisse and Hemmings on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
The visitors have never lost in the last five matches.
Aston Villa have scored three goals in each of their last four away games.
After a weak start to the season, Aston Villa has finally accelerated and is churning out victory after victory. Recently, the guests made fun of Fenerbahce in the Champions League, and now we need to improve our position in the Premier League table. Newcastle has not shown such a confident game yet, and in the last three rounds they lost heavily to Leeds and Coventry, and at home they barely beat the newcomer of the championship, Hull City. In this confrontation, we will disagree with the bookmakers and bet on Aston Villa.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (0) for Aston Villa in 2.20
Both teams prefer to play open football, so the matches with their participation usually turn out to be spectacular and effective. Right now, the opponents are clearly unhappy with their position in the ranking and will certainly actively attack. Fans may well expect a real scoring extravaganza from such a confrontation.
Our betting tip is a total of more than three goals in 1.93
Betting on corners
The hosts are clearly disappointed after a big defeat in the last round, and the guests are ready to build on their success after a big victory in the Champions League. We think that a game on opposite courses and a large number of corners awaits us here.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 10.5 corners in 2.03
