Manchester United Prediction — 4/13
Manchester United's season hinges on winning the Europa League. After a 2-2 draw in Lyon on Thursday, their focus now shifts to the second leg of the quarter-finals at Old Trafford — that’s the game that truly matters.
Let's face it, the Red Devils have little left to fight for in the Premier League aside from their pride. Manager Ruben Amorim will likely rotate his squad to ensure their best players are fresh for Thursday.
Currently sitting 13th in the standings, they’re well clear of relegation but also far from any European competition spots. Bruno Fernandes, the team's top scorer with eight goals, highlights just how underwhelming their attack has been this season. He’s also the player most in need of a break, so he should probably skip the trip to St. James' Park to rest up.
United's improvement against top sides has been mild. They barely managed to draw against Arsenal and Manchester City, both times at Old Trafford. No wonder they average 0.7 points versus top-six teams this season. As you can see, visiting Newcastle in these conditions doesn't sound great.
Newcastle Prediction — 4/13
Still on a high after winning the Carabao Cup at Wembley, Newcastle wants to remain among the top five with next year's Champions League in mind. No one in the team cares that their recent title guarantees at least a UEFA Conference League berth since their ambition is bigger.
The Magpies are on a three-game winning streak in the PL, including the latest two at home. They have eight wins, four losses, and two draws at St. James' Park, with 26 goals scored in those 14 games.
Alexander Isak has excelled as their striker. He has three goals in the last two home matches and 20 in total in the Premier League.
The recent head-to-head against Manchester United also favors them. Newcastle has beaten them in three of the past five matchups, including a 2-0 win in December at Old Trafford.
Man U vs. Newcastle Pick — 4/13
Newcastle has been the first team to score in their past five matches in all competitions, and this seems like a really good opportunity to pile on that stat.
The Red Devils have avoided thumpings with their defensive mindset, and none of their last four rivals have scored more than one goal against them. However, Newcastle might break that streak if they assert their dominance early.
