Newcastle to Win

Reason for tip

Newcastle are on a six-game winning run and they can make it seven in a row against Villa. The hosts come into the game after putting a lot into their 3-2 midweek win over PSG, which wasn’t enough to avoid a European exit. The Magpies have won the last three meetings by an aggregate score of 11-2 and can strengthen their hold on a top five spot with victory over a direct rival.

Newcastle 2-1

Reason for tip

A Newcastle win is expected and Villa may be a little jaded after their European efforts, but this game should be close. Villa are unbeaten in 18 at home and they haven’t drawn a blank here since October, while no visiting team has scored more than twice at Villa Park all season. Take a chance on a 2-1 away win.

Jacob Murphy To Score Anytime

Reason for tip

Newcastle’s Jacob Murphy had an excellent game against Palace on Wednesday with a goal and an assist and he can make a contribution against Villa. Murphy has three goals in his last three games and four assists in his last five, so back him to get on the scoresheet at Villa Park.

Jacob Murphy To Score Or Assist

Murphy has three goals in his last three games and four assists in his last five, so back him to make a key contribution at Villa Park.

John McGinn To Be Shown A Card

Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn has seven bookings in 28 Premier League games this season and has been booked in back-to-back games ahead of this clash. McGinn averages 1.5 fouls per-game in the league and has committed multiple infringements in four of his last six appearances in this competition.

Morgan Rogers To Have 1+ Shots On Target

Villa’s Morgan Rogers has two goals in his last four games and can at least test the keeper against Newcastle. Rogers is averaging 1.5 shots-per-game in this competition and only 0.5 are recorded as off target (0.5 on target and 0.6 blocked), so he tends to be fairly accurate.

Harvey Barnes To Have 1+ Shots On Target

Harvey Barnes is in fine form for Newcastle with four goals in his last three games. Barnes has had 18 shots across his last five games and should at least be able to record one attempt on goal at Villa Park.

Newcastle are on a six-game winning run.
Newcastle have won each of the last three meetings, by an aggregate score of 11-2.
Villa put a lot into their midweek win over PSG.

Newcastle look Champions League-bound

Newcastle crushed Crystal Palace 5-0 on Wednesday evening to make it six wins in a row across all competitions and they continue their quest for a top four finish at Aston Villa in the late game on Saturday.

Villa also won their own midweek assignment as they overcame Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie at this venue, but that wasn’t enough to overturn a two-goal deficit from the first leg.

With fifth spot good enough for a place at Europe’s top table, Villa still have a decent chance of returning to the Champions League next season but they may find in-form Newcastle too strong on Saturday.

Magpies can continue Villa dominance

Newcastle are flying and they have a fantastic recent record against the Villans. The EFL Cup winners won the reverse fixture 3-0 back in December and they did the league double over Villa last season, winning 8-2 on aggregate.

Villa put a lot into their 3-2 win over PSG, whereas Newcastle should be the fresher of the two sides after strolling to victory against Palace.

As such, a win for the visitors looks a strong play in the late Premier League game this weekend.

Goals at both ends looks likely

Newcastle have managed back-to-back away clean sheets in the league but Villa have a bit more in attack than their last two opponents on the road, West Ham and Leicester.

Unai Emery’s men are unbeaten in 18 at home and they haven’t drawn a blank in front of their own fans since October.

Villa should be able to get on the scoresheet, but as Newcastle have been a bit of a bogey team for the Midlands outfit a 2-1 win for the visitors looks a reasonable correct score prediction as Villa haven’t conceded more than twice in any home game this season.

Jacob Murphy had an excellent game against Palace with a goal and an assist and he can make a contribution against Villa. Murphy has three goals in his last three games and four assists in his last five, so back him to get on the scoresheet at Villa Park.
