Arsenal vs Newcastle Betting Tips, Prediction & Best Bets
The Premier League title race could barely be any tighter as Arsenal now trail Manchester City on goals scored, but the Gunners have an opportunity to put the pressure back on Pep Guardiola’s men this weekend.
Arsenal host Newcastle on Saturday while City are in FA Cup action, but nothing less than a win will satisfy the Emirates faithful as they look to get their title bid back on track following back-to-back defeats.
Luckily for Mikel Arteta’s men, Newcastle are on an even worse run of defeats, with three league losses in a row amid growing pressure on Eddie Howe’s position.
As such, there’s a lot at stake for both managers, so we’ve sifted through the stats to make some Arsenal vs Newcastle predictions using top odds from the best betting sites.
Arsenal vs Newcastle Tips
We’ve picked out three betting tips for the game at the Emirates. Check out the latest free bet offers ahead of kick-off.
Tip 1: Newcastle to score first
Newcastle are on a wretched run, so much so that odds on who will be the next Magpies manager having started appearing on some betting apps, with Andoni Iraola and Jose Mourinho the joint 2/1 favourites.
Injuries have not helped Howe’s cause and he’s missing key personnel again this weekend with Anthony Gordon and Tino Livramento set to miss out through injury, while Joelinton is absent through suspension.
However, Bruno Guimarães is in line for his first start since February after returning from injury off the bench in the Bournemouth defeat last time out. The Brazilian’s return is a lifeline for Newcastle and is one of the key reasons I think they can trouble Arsenal this weekend.
The atmosphere will be tense and nervy at the Emirates, which should give the visitors impetus to attack. For all their failings of late, the Magpies have been pretty potent – they’ve scored in each of their last 10 away games.
They have it in their locker to at least ruffle a few feathers by opening the scoring and PricedUp have the best odds at 23/10.
Tip 2: Over 2.5 goals
Arsenal fans shouldn’t panic too much if the Magpies do indeed score first, because while they’ve been good for a goal or two at one end, they’ve been kind enough to concede plenty at the other.
They’re on a run of four defeats in a row in all competitions after all, the last three of which have been by a scoreline of 2-1.
Similarly, three of Arsenal’s last four home Premier League games have gone over 2.5 goals, so there’s reason to believe this trend will continue when the sides meet on Saturday.
BetMGM currently have the best price on this outcome at 8/13 for at least three goals scored.
Tip 3: Arsenal to win by one
In almost every close title race, a memorable 3-2 win tends to materialise when pressure reaches boiling point – think Federico Macheda against Aston Villa or Philippe Coutinho vs Manchester City.
This game reeks of topsy-turvy potential, and I like the odds of 22/1 on Arsenal to win 3-2. I may have a small wager on that correct score bet, but for those who prefer to play the percentages, there are other ways of betting on such an outcome.
It’s difficult to imagine Arsenal losing five domestic games on the bounce, while Newcastle’s record at this ground leaves a lot to be desired – no win in their last 13 visits to the Emirates. The onus is very much on the home side to get the win, by any means necessary.
Newcastle’s last five league games have been decided by a one-goal margin and I’m expecting a similar outcome here – the safest play is to back Arsenal to win by one at 11/4 on Betway.
