Newcastle United - Aston Villa betting tips and odds

Newcastle United may come out on top this Sunday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Aston Villa. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 2.88 for the hosts to win.

Aston Villa will need to dig deep in order to get past the motivated hosts. An away win at 2.65 betting odds is considered a high risk but that’s exactly why the reward would be much sweeter.

Despite the 2.60 odds on a home win in their previous round, Newcastle pulled off a stunning 3:1 victory thanks to top-notch performance in the second half against Everton .

Sportsbooks predicted things to go well for Aston Villa in the previous round – they had a solid lead in a home game against Leeds United. The second half caught them off guard, however, and they had to settle for a 3:3 draw in a home game.

The hosts will hopefully perform better than what we’ve seen from their away games. The 5 concessions they recorded over the past 3 away games has some fans reeling.

The most relevant bit of history we have for Aston Villa is their high concession rate at recent home games. After more than 5 goals conceded in 3 games, their fans have warranted concerns over the squad’s defensive performance.

Aston Villa already won a match against Newcastle this season while playing a home game. Even though they won’t have home-field advantage this time, they’re still considered favourites. After all, their previous victory was quite decisive and ended with a considerable lead.

The home team’s lineup has been severely impacted by an unfortunate string of injuries. Specifically, Paul Dummett, Jamal Lewis, Isaac Hayden, Matt Ritchie, Callum Wilson are all away due to injury-related reasons. This makes their chances of beating the visiting side even slimmer and should be a major consideration before choosing to bet one way or the other.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.89 if you use the Betway sportsbook.
