Some of betting predictions for Manchester United vs Newcastle match are:
Manchester United vs Newcastle Betting Tips
Safe Bets
De Gea has found his form and is improving every game and United’s defense has been solid having kept four clean sheets in their last six games. Hence betting on De Gea to keep a clean sheet against a weak Newcastle United side at odds of 1.90 (betway) gives almost double returns at minimal risk.
Bruno Fernandes got two more goals against Sociedad and now has five goals in his last four games. With him taking the freekicks and penalties betting on him to score at odds of 1.80 (WilliamHill) is a no-brainer.
We expect United to get an easy victory against Newcastle who will be missing their top scorer and best player Callum Wilson due to injury. Therefore betting on United winning 2-0, 3-0 or 4-0 at odds of 3.00 (betway) is one of the best bets of the match.
Quick Rich
Manchester United have earned almost six corners per game while Newcastle have conceded the fourth most corners in the league. Newcastle have also earned the fourth most cards therefore betting on a combination of a United win, Newcastle getting over two cards and United earning more than 6 corners at odds of 6.50 (WilliamHill) gives high returns at a small risk.
With Callum Wilson out due to injury, we expect Joelinton to lead the attack for Newcastle and hence betting on him to have over one shot on target at odds of 6.50 (WilliamHill) is another good bet.
Win/Lose/Draw
Manchester United are clear favourites to win the game against an out of for Newcastle and will be looking to maintain the pressure on league leaders Manchester City. Newcastle have only won one of their last thirty seven games at Old Trafford therefore we expect a United win at odds of 1.28 (betway).
Bet During the Match
Marcus Rashford has started United’s last four games within a ten day period therefore we expect him to start from the bench and be substituted in the second half, hence betting on Rashford to score in the second half only if he starts on the bench at odds of 5.00 (betway) gives good returns if made at the right time.
Manchester United overall form: WDWDW
Newcastle overall form: LWLWL
