Aston Villa remembers the hard loss they’ve endured against Newcastle in the opening round, and the Villans now want revenge. Magpies are in terrible shape, which is something the hosts would want to use to get even and also stay in the title race.
Before Betting on Aston Villa vs. Newcastle
The Villains played without goals on Friday night against Chelsea in the FA Cup. The game against the Blues took place at Stamford, where Emery’s team endured the pressure of the hosts, and now awaits the replay game in Birmingham.
Villans haven’t allowed a goal in the past 270 minutes, but on the other side, they’ve scored only one, which was more than three weeks ago against Middlesbrough, also in the FA Cup, 1-0. They are still the best host of all in the EPL, winning 28 points in 10 appearances.
The Magpies’ form took a turn for the worse in December when they started falling apart. Several losses in a row, exit from the UEFA Champions League, the EFL Cup, and a few other losses all affected the morale of the team, making them vulnerable.
Newcastle has four losses in the past six meetings, but is coming off a victory against Fulham in the FA Cup, 0-2. It’s not a big-time success, but it could provide a sort of a swing for Eddie Howe’s boys, whose form is problematic these days.

The Villains are extremely good at home, and even if Newcastle played much better, we would still bet on Unai Emery’s crew to take all three points. Villa’s shape is constant, and they are really looking like a top-four team; plus, there is a matter of extra-motive in this one, with the hosts still remembering a 5-1 defeat at the start of the year.
