City with frustration against NUFC?
During the week, Manchester City suffered a bitter defeat against Real Madrid in the Champions League. With two goals conceded in the final phase, Pep Guardiola’s team squandered a victory. Now, the 25th matchday of the Premier League is coming up at the weekend. At home, the Cityzens are looking to cope with frustration. Our Manchester City vs. Newcastle tip is aimed at the next goal-filled match at the Etihad Stadium.
The guests from Newcastle have scored at least two goals per game in three of their last four competitive matches. We also expect NUFC to score in Manchester. City’s defense has not looked good recently and has not kept a clean sheet in their last six competitive matches. It is quite possible that the negative trend will continue against Newcastle.
Manchester City – Statistics & current form
Manchester City lost their home advantage against the Madrileneans, losing the first leg in the Champions League intermediate round 3-2 against Real. The home defeat was all the more bitter as City were still leading 2-1 against the royals with four minutes left in regulation time. Guardiola’s team only caved in during the final minutes and conceded a last-minute defeat.
In the league, the Cityzens are now focusing on overcoming their frustration. The sky blues suffered a bitter defeat against the Gunners from London in the last Premier League matchday. There were a total of five (!) goals conceded by Guardiola’s team. Rivals Chelsea took advantage of the Skyblues’ defeat to move up to fourth place.
In the race for fourth place in the table, Manchester City now has the next decisive league game coming up. Against their neighbors in the table from Newcastle, the next loss of points in the English top flight would be fatal. In the worst-case scenario, Man City could even slip to seventh place in the table.
Will City celebrate their next home win against NUFC?
Encouragingly, in the run-up to the upcoming encounter, City have won their last 15 home games against Newcastle United in the Premier League. In fact, in their last 34 league meetings, Manchester City have an impressive record of 27-6-1.
Therefore, anyone who wants to bet on a Skyblues victory this time as well gets betting odds in the 1.80s for a Manchester City vs. Newcastle tip on the host at the betting providers with a German license. In the first half of the current season, however, there was a tie between the two clubs.
Pep Guardiola has to do without three players in the squad due to injury against the Magpies. In addition to the long-term injured Rodri, Grealish and Akanji are currently still out. Compared to the team that played against Real Madrid during the week, changes in the City starting lineup cannot be ruled out.
Provisional line-up for Manchester City:
Newcastle – statistics & current form
Newcastle United have been one of the form teams in the English top flight over the last two months. The black and whites have recorded a record of 12-0-2 in their last 14 competitive games, including two wins against the Gunners from London. In Manchester, Eddie Howe’s charges will not be hiding either.

Will Newcastle overtake City with a win?
Eddie Howe’s team missed out on finishing in fourth place in the Premier League last weekend, leaving important points on the table in the race for a starting place in the Champions League. Despite home advantage, Newcastle, who are in sixth place in the league, lost 2-1 to FFC. It was their second defeat in their last three league games.
Both setbacks came unexpectedly at home. Away from home, however, Newcastle have celebrated four wins in a row in the Premier League. Eddie Howe’s team are on a 6-3-3 record after twelve away league matches, scoring 22 goals.
In the upcoming league game in Manchester, at least five players will have to sit out for the Magpies due to injury. However, there is still a big question mark over Anthony Gordon’s availability. Compared to the team that played in the FA Cup last week, a few changes can be expected at NUFC.
Expected Newcastle lineup:
Manchester City – Newcastle head to head / H2H record

Manchester City vs. Newcastle tip
In the race for a starting place in the Champions League, Manchester City face a crucial league clash against Newcastle United this weekend. Saturday’s opponents are, after all, direct competitors in the battle for fourth place. After the bitter defeat against the Gunners from London, City recently had to give up fourth place in the table. Chelsea seized the opportunity and passed them by.
Pep Guardiola’s team are now seeking redemption against Newcastle. However, the match against NUFC will not be a sure-fire success for City. The black and whites have won twelve of their last 14 competitive games and are therefore among the most in-form teams in the English top flight.
We nevertheless expect a win for the Cityzens. In the league, Guardiola’s team have won every one of their last 15 home games against NUFC. For our Manchester City vs. Newcastle tip, we are betting on the home side for five out of ten possible units. The tip can also be combined with Over 2.5 goals in the game. The betting option is also available at Oddset, among others.
