The late game in the Premier League on Saturday will see a fascinating clash between Newcastle United and Man United take place. Both sides have been in steady domestic form, and both will be looking to enhance their chances of a top four finish this term by landing victory at St. James’ Park.
Before Betting On Newcastle vs Man United
It has been a busy week of action for Newcastle, but they must put their Champions League heartache against PSG behind them when they return to domestic action on Saturday. The Magpies will be looking for a repeat performance of their last game in the competition, as they sailed to a 4-1 home victory against Chelsea last Saturday.
Man United are quietly going about their business at present, as the Red Devils have recovered from a slow start to win five of their last six in the Premier League. That has lifted United up to sixth in the standings, and confidence should be high after a stunning 3-0 win over Everton at Goodison Park last weekend.
Newcastle landed a 2-0 win in this exact fixture in April, but they haven’t won back-to-back home games against the Red Devils since October 1972. However, the Red Devils are winless in their last three league matches against the Magpies. That run of form has come after winning of their previous seven against their rivals. However, United haven’t gone four without a win against Newcastle since November 1988.
Newcastle will take confidence from their 3-0 win over the Red Devils in the EFL Cup last month, and they could win three straight games across all competitions against United for the first time since January 1922. Meanwhile, they have kept clean sheets in each of their last two Premier League meetings against the Red Devils.
An interesting trend to consider this weekend is the fact that each of Newcastle’s last five league wins against United have been achieved to nil. In fact, the last time Newcastle won and both teams found the net was in the form of a 4-3 win in September 2001. Since then, the Magpies are winless in 30 games against United after conceding at least once.
