Newcastle United

LLDLLL 📉

After suffering a loss in their previous game against Sheffield United in Premier League competition, Newcastle United and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Newcastle United managed 34% possession and 7 shots at goal with 3 of them on target. For their opponents, Sheffield United got 17 shots at goal with 4 on target. Billy Sharp (73') scored for Sheffield United.

The stats tell the story, and Newcastle United have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 8 goals in total. Defensively, The Magpies have some weaknesses to address. Let’s see if that trend will end up being sustained here.

A look at their previous results shows us that Newcastle United:

• have not beaten Arsenal when they have played them away from home in the previous 8 league games. Very poor away form.
• are without an away win for the past 3 league games.

ℹ️ Team News: Newcastle United

Due to a mostly healthy group of players, there’s only a single fitness issue for the Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce to be concerned about. Allan Saint-Maximin (Fitness) misses out for this game.

💭 Prediction

In our opinion, Arsenal can and should get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.

Conversely, Newcastle United might well find it a difficult task getting goals although we do think that they will probably end up pulling one back during this clash.

We reckon that it will be a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Arsenal come full-time.
