Newcastle United Betting Preview

Newcastle comes into this game sitting in 5th place in the standings having picked up 47 points. In the last game Newcastle United faced off against Nottingham Forest and they were able to secure the 2-1 victory. Two games ago against the Wolves, they were also able to secure the 2-1 victory. Miguel Almiron and Emil Krafth are both dealing with longer term injuries and neither player is going to be able to go in this game. This is a great opportunity for Newcastle United with Man United so banged up and they need to take advantage. The last thing that Newcastle United can do in this game is fall behind.

Manchester United Betting Preview

On the other side of this matchup is Manchester United who sit in 3rd place in the standings having picked up 50 points. In the last game Manchester United faced off against Fulham and they were able to secure a 3-1 victory. The first goal wasn’t scored until the 75th minute by Bruno Fernandes, and he added another one in the 96th minute for insurance. Manchester United are going to be without some key players in this game. Casemiro is suspended for this game. Donny van de Beek and Christian Eriksen are both dealing with long term injuries and they aren’t going to be able to go in this game. 

Shane’s Free Pick

Manchester United is dealing with so many injuries, and that is going to really hurt their chances with the offense. I do expect their defense is going to step up though, and that is going to be the difference here as this game is going to be lower scoring. Look for a 1-0 or 1-1 type of finish. Back the under 2.5 goals.
