Aston Villa - Newcastle United betting tips and odds

The 3.70 odds on a home win result mark the hosts as clear underdogs. Things are fairly lopsided, in fact, so backing such an outcome would be quite a longshot.

Though Newcastle United are the stronger team between the two, we wouldn’t call an away bet at the odds of 2.15 a safe one. It’s shaping up to be quite an exciting match.

Despite being named favourites by most bookies and betting predictions, the first half of Aston Villa’s previous Premier League match ended inconclusively. However, they proceeded to completely dominate the second half, eventually locking the 3 points with a 2:0 home win.

The Magpies’s way to victory in the previous round was quite rocky, but they managed to pull through in the end. Top bookmakers tagged them as favourites despite the home-field disadvantage, but the 1:2 victory at Brentford was achieved after a slump in the first half.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from Aston Villa and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

Newcastle and their attackers have already shown a level of consistency so far this season, which is always good for betting. They’ve bagged more than 5 goals over the past 3 Premier League matches which is definitely a thing to consider ahead of this game.

The Magpies supporters have a lot to be happy about with what they’ve seen, but it’s not over yet. Their strong form brought them to be number 3rd on the table, holding a Champions League qualifying spot. They can’t afford to drop their focus now – not with a difficult matchup coming up this Saturday.

Newcastle won the home game they played against Villa earlier in the season, and they did so with a notable goal difference. Winning this showdown as well would firmly establish them as the better team.

Sadly, we can’t get good value here and still stay cautious. An HT/FT bet for Draw/Away is the best option due to the visitor’s tendency to stumble in the first half.
