Newcastle United
Eddie Howe's side is currently content with a mid-table position. The team has dropped several spots after a five-match winless streak in the league (2 draws and 3 losses). Newcastle approaches the upcoming round with two consecutive losses: first at home to Brighton (0-1), and then away to Chelsea (1-2). It is noteworthy that in their last five Premier League games, the club has not scored more than one goal in any match.
Defenders Jamaal Lascelles, Kieran Trippier, and Sven Botman, striker Callum Wilson, and goalkeeper Martin Dubravka continue to recover from injuries.
- Both teams have scored in 6 of Newcastle's last 8 league games.
- Before the loss to Brighton, the club had not been defeated at home in 11 consecutive Premier League matches (6 wins and 5 draws).
- In their last six Premier League encounters, Howe's charges have scored just one goal in the first 45 minutes.
Arsenal
For the first time this calendar year, the Gunners failed to win in two consecutive league matches. The club lost away to Bournemouth (0-2) and drew at home with Liverpool (2-2). As a result, the Londoners are in third place, trailing leaders Manchester City by five points.
Defenders Takehiro Tomiyasu, Gabriel Magalhães, Riccardo Calafiori, and Kieran Tierney will miss the match due to injuries.
- The number '2' has appeared in the final score in 7 of Arsenal's last 10 league games.
- The Gunners have won 11 of their last 15 Premier League matches (3 draws and 1 loss).
- Before the defeat to Bournemouth, the Londoners had not lost in 12 consecutive away Premier League matches (10 wins and 2 draws).
Newcastle United vs. Arsenal: match prediction
In head-to-head confrontations, there is a significant advantage on the side of the London club. In the previous 23 league encounters, the Gunners have 19 wins, one draw, and three losses. After dropping points, Mikel Arteta's men will be set exclusively on victory, but I do not expect it to come easily. I would not dare to bet on Arsenal's outright win, as Newcastle also desperately need points. The club has noticeably fallen behind the European competition zone, so Eddie Howe's men will also fight for a positive outcome. I suppose that the opponents will exchange goals in this encounter. Newcastle has scored in 22 of their last 23 Premier League home games. The Londoners, in turn, have scored in 13 of their last 15 away league matches.
My prediction is "Double Chance: Arsenal or Draw and Both Teams to Score – Yes" with odds of .
