Newcastle Vs. Man United Betting Tips

Man United visits Newcastle on boxing day after having some of their matches postponed due to Covid-19. However, they are in a race to qualify for the top 4 and possibly challenge for the title after their abysmal form before sacking their former coach. 

Newcastle has been in bad form, and things haven’t worked for them this season, even after sacking their previous owners. They only have 1 win in the EPL this season, drawing 7 and losing the rest in the 18 EPL matches played.

Would Newcastle have their second win against Manchester United? We don’t know yet, but here are our tips for this boxing day fixture.

In their last 5 games, they have won 0, lost 3, and drawn 2. While there have been some improvements in their play, they haven’t really found a working formula to escape their demise. 

For the team news, Newcastle has just 2 players who are likely to be unavailable for this fixture, and they are Lewis Jamal and Fernandez Federico.

Tip 2:  Over 2.5 Goals

Newcastle’s matches against teams at the top of the table have seen over 2.5 goals match outcomes. Also, even though there haven’t been much over 2.5 goals results in Manchester United’s last 5 games, they can score and concede. 

The H2H between these teams also revealed that this fixture had over 2.5 goals in the previous meetings. 

Over 2.5 goals market option is available at the Casumo Sportsbook at 1.58 odds. 

Conclusion

Manchester United is well rested for this fixture, and it will be interesting to see how they approach this game. Newcastle hasn’t been in great form, and coupled with the fact that they have been playing with their little squad, it is hard for them to hold down Man united.
