Draw or Manchester City (Double Chance)
Manchester City arrive in excellent form, winning four straight matches across all competitions and producing a statement performance in their dominant 3-0 win over Liverpool.
Their away Premier League record this season is mixed (W2, D1, L2), but crucially both wins came against sides sitting in the bottom half - a group Newcastle fall into heading into this round.
City also have a remarkably dominant historical record in this fixture with just one defeat in their last 35 Premier League meetings with Newcastle (W28, D6).
Eddie Howe, meanwhile, has faced City 18 times in the Premier League without a single win (D2, L16), the worst such record for any manager against one opponent. With City stronger, fresher, and near full-strength heading into this weekend, backing them to avoid defeat is the safest value angle.
Tip: Draw or Manchester City (Double Chance) @ 7/25
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Manchester City avoid defeat against Newcastle
Over 1.5 Total Goals
Manchester City have scored in each of their last 33 Premier League games against Newcastle, one of the longest scoring streaks ever recorded against a single opponent in English top-flight history.
Newcastle also rarely fail to find the net at home, scoring in 17 of their last 18 Premier League matches at St James’ Park, and entering this match on a run of five straight home wins in all competitions.
Both sides possess attacking threats in form – Nick Woltemade has scored in three of Newcastle’s last four home league games, while City have Erling Haaland who needs no introduction making over 1.5 goals feels extremely likely.
Tip: Over 1.5 Total Goals @ 11/50
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are at least two goals scored in the game between Newcastle and Manchester City
Erling Haaland to have 1+ Shot on Target
Haaland’s numbers make this one of the most reliable player markets this weekend. The Norwegian leads the Premier League in goals (14) and is on the verge of becoming the fastest player in history to reach 100 Premier League goals, needing just one more.
He already has 19 goals in all competitions this season for Manchester City, and his shot volume has remained elite, averaging more than 4 shots per 90 minutes.
Newcastle’s defence will be stretched further by injuries and suspension, and they have conceded five of their six home goals this season in the second half, precisely when Haaland tends to come alive. Haaland attempting at least one shot on target is statistically routine rather than ambitious, making this a strong inclusion.
Tip: Erling Haaland to have 1+ Shot on Target @ 7/50
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Erling Haaland manages a shot on target against Newcastle
