Newcastle United will need to play out of their skin to get a result against Manchester City, looking to recover after losing the Manchester derby last weekend.
Newcastle are currently 14th in the table just two points above the bottom three and they don’t have a great record at home this season. They have four wins, one draw and three defeats having scored ten goals but conceding nine. The bookies don’t give them a chance with 9/2 the best price on offer from BetVictor.
Manchester City will be looking to make an example out of Newcastle after losing to Manchester United in their first defeat of the season. City have taken at least a point in all of their away matches so far with three wins and four draws from all games played. They have conceded fewer goals than any other team away from home and are 4/6 with Bet365.
If you fancy the draw then the best price around is 14/5 from Sky Bet which is a result Newcastle would take if it was offered to them right now. However, Newcastle have only drawn one match at home this season.
Newcastle United Betting Tips
Demba Ba is arguably the most high profile striker that Newcastle have at their disposal. He was brilliant against the bigger teams last season and looks a decent bet at 8/1 with Bet365 to score the first goal in this game. He has not been at his best lately but can still score any half chance which is presented to him.
Any Newcastle win is likely to be by a very narrow margin. They won’t care, they will simply want a goal to register the three points. You can get 13/2 from Sky Bet on Newcastle winning this match by a single goal which is very likely if they do end up as the winning side.
If you are less confident of Newcastle’s chances then you can back them with a handicap which means they will start the game one goal in front of City. Bet365 will give you 11/10 on Newcastle winning from one goal in front before the match kicks off.
Manchester City Betting Tips
Sergio Aguero has been on of Roberto Mancini’s consistent selections this season. The Argentine forward is always a threat to score in any match and he is 5/4 with BetVictor to score at any point during this game. He has five goals from 13 games this season which is a ratio he should be looking to improve.
There isn’t great value in backing a direct City win so a better alternative could be backing the champions to win both halves of the match at 7/4 with BetVictor. They stand a great chance of pulling this off if they start the match well and it’s a better price than 4/6.
