An away win looks challenging to oppose when making a Newcastle vs. Man City prediction this weekend.
The action in the Premier League this weekend kicks off at St. James’ Park, as Newcastle welcome Man City. Both sides failed to win their previous league matches, with the hosts hoping to bounce back after losing their unbeaten record.

Before Betting
Man City’s perfect start to the new season was ended last weekend, but Pep Guardiola’s side would have been happy enough to remain unbeaten.
The reigning champions scored a dramatic 98th minute equalizer after being stifled by the ten-men of Arsenal for much of the second half.
City ended the match with 33 shots, but the vast majority of their eleven on target were taken from outside of the box.
The excitement of the game was so great that Erling Haaland’s early opener was overshadowed. The effort was the Norwegian’s 100th in City colors in just his 105th appearance.
Eddie Howe’s Newcastle will have questions to answer this weekend after losing their unbeaten record at Fulham. A 3-1 defeat saw them drop to sixth in the standings, but the Magpies have still won three of their opening five.
However, there was a sense that a first defeat was on the horizon, as Newcastle’s performances haven’t exactly been scintillating on the field.
The Magpies were limited to just five shots on target against Newcastle last weekend, and they were far too open defensively.
Home league wins against City have been a rarity for Newcastle, with their most recent success coming in January 2019. Since then, City have won three of their five visits to St. James’ Park.
Newcastle vs. Man City Prediction
Newcastle have been far too open defensively this term, and that will be a real issue that needs addressing before the visit of the champions.
City will have the bit between their teeth following an aggressive encounter against Arsenal, meaning we find it challenging to overlook the visitors landing a fifth straight win across all competitions against the Magpies.
