Prediction 1X2
Newcastle United’s current form shows inconsistency. They have managed to secure a couple of wins, but recent losses and draws indicate a struggle to find stability. The defeat against Fulham highlights defensive issues, while the draws against Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth suggest difficulties in finishing matches. If they can address their defensive lapses and improve their attacking efficiency, they might regain momentum. However, if these issues persist, their upcoming match could prove challenging. Overall, a need for improvement in both defense and attack is evident to return to winning ways.
Meanwhile, Manchester City’s current form is generally strong, with notable recent wins against Brentford and West Ham showcasing their attacking prowess. However, the 2-2 draw with Arsenal and a goalless result against Inter highlight some inconsistencies, particularly in defense. While they’ve been able to score consistently, they need to tighten up at the back to avoid dropping points in key matches. If they can strike a balance between their offensive strengths and defensive solidity, they are well-positioned to remain competitive and maintain their status as title contenders.
Given their recent meetings, Manchester City is likely to dominate in their next encounter with Newcastle United. With a solid record against Newcastle, including two recent 2-0 victories and a narrow win earlier this year, City’s attacking depth and overall form suggest they will pose significant challenges for Newcastle’s defense. Unless Newcastle can significantly improve their performance, particularly in defense, they may struggle to secure points against a strong Manchester City side.

Tip: Draw/Manchester City ✅
Over 2.5
Given the scoring patterns in their recent meetings, a prediction for over 2.5 goals seems plausible. Manchester City has shown a strong attacking performance, consistently finding the back of the net in their encounters with Newcastle, which often leads to higher-scoring games. With City’s offensive capabilities and Newcastle’s need to push forward for a result, it’s likely that the match could see three or more goals scored.
