Our Predictions
Given Newcastle's strong home form and United's struggles away, a Newcastle victory seems likely. The odds back this up.
Both teams possess attacking threats. Newcastle's last matches show multiple goals scored, so it's reasonable to expect both teams to find the net.
Considering both teams' offensive capabilities and recent goal fests, I predict we'll see a high-scoring affair, making over 2.5 look appealing.
