Newcastle Betting Preview
Newcastle currently sits in third place in the standings having picked up 65 points. Last Sunday Newcastle United faced off against Southampton and they were able to secure a 3-1 victory. Callum Wilson scored in the 54th and 81st minute. Newcastle had 64 percent of the possession and five shots on target. Jamaal Lascelles suffered a season ending calf injury and that is a big loss for the team. Allan Saint-Maximin is dealing with a thigh injury and it’s unclear if he’s going to be able to go in this game. If he can’t go, it’s going to be a big loss for the team. In this game Newcastle’s offense needs to attack the weak defense of Arsenal.
Arsenal Betting Preview
Arsenal comes into this game sitting in second place in the standings having picked up 78 points. On Tuesday Arsenal faced off against Chelsea and they were able to secure the 3-1 victory. Martin Odegaard scored in the 18th and 31st minute. Arsenal had 55 percent of the possession and 10 shots on target. Gabriel Magalhaes was banged up in the last few minutes and if he can’t go, that is going to be a big loss for the team. Gabriel is dealing with an injury but it looks like that he could be good to go in this game.
Shane’s Free Pick
Trusting Arsenal has been scary the last 10 games, but there is value with them here. I don’t trust this Newcastle defense and the injuries are going to really hurt the back end. Arsenal is going to score two or three goals here, and I also expect their defense is going to step up enough to get the job done. Back Arsenal on the money line.
