Newcastle vs Man City: Prediction, Preview And Betting Odds

City have been very dominant in this fixture in recent years, as they have won four of the previous five meetings. Newcastle have not been victorious against the champions at home in the league since 2019. The Magpies have conceded at least two goals per game at the hands of Man City in their last four meetings. We are expecting this to occur once more with a clean sheet for the visitors. We predict: Newcastle 0-2 Man City

Newcastle host Manchester City in the Premier League, with both sides looking to get back to winning ways this weekend.

Man City's unbeaten run ended with a 2-2 draw against Arsenal. Despite playing against 10-men for most of the second half, they couldn't secure a win. City remains top of the table, but Arsenal and Liverpool are close behind. Newcastle, currently in sixth, suffered their first defeat of the season against Fulham.

Erling Haaland continues to impress for City, scoring 10 goals in 5 games. Rodri's injury is a significant blow for City. Newcastle's attack, led by Isak and Barnes, poses a threat to City's defence.

Newcastle:

Newcastle's recent form includes 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss. They've had a strong season but were defeated 3-1 by Fulham. Previous victories against Wolves and Tottenham (2-1 each) and a draw with Bournemouth (1-1) highlight their early-season success.

Man City:

Man City have won 3 and drawn 2 in their last 5 games. They've defeated West Ham (3-1) and Brentford (2-1) and drawn with Inter Milan and Arsenal (2-2). Haaland has been instrumental in their success.

Newcastle:

Manager Eddie Howe should have no new injury concerns to deal with. Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles remain long-term absentees with knee injuries, whilst Callum Wilson is still dealing with an issue with his back. He and Lewis Miley could return in October.

Man City:

City were dealt a huge blow when Rodri had to be taken off with what is reported to be an ACL injury, which will likely rule him out for the season. Kevin De Bruyne is a doubt for this weekend after missing the Arsenal fixture. Nathan Ake and Oscar Bobb are longer term absentees.
