Manchester City v Newcastle Betting Tips [15 February 2025]

Manchester City and Newcastle United lost their last league matches and will be looking to bounce back when they clash on Saturday. In their chase for European football, the two sides are tied on 41 points, Newcastle being sixth and City fifth in the league standings. We have a prediction for the match below.

Hosts Manchester City suffered an embarrassing 5-1 defeat to Arsenal in their last league match. They would recover with a shaky 2-1 win at Leyton Orient in the FA Cup.

However, they finished on the wrong end of a five-goal thriller against Real Madrid in the Champions League. Beaten 3-2 at home by the Spaniards, City will hope for a better outing this time.

Newcastle United have had a more solid run in recent times, though they also lost their last league game. Playing at home to Fulham, the Magpies took the lead but conceded twice in the second half to lose the match 2-1.

However, they recovered with a solid performance to beat Arsenal 2-0 in the League Cup semi-final return leg at home. They followed that up with a 3-2 away win at Birmingham in the FA Cup fourth round.

Newcastle have six straight wins away from home and will present a very solid opposition for City.

Not many goals were scored in most of the recent meetings between Manchester City and Newcastle United. However, there are indications this will be different. Manchester City are struggling and Newcastle United will want to go at them.

As both sides have been scoring a lot, we expect to see an entertaining back and forth here. Most of these teams’ recent matches have clocked at least four goals. Our prediction for Manchester City v Newcastle United is for this match to have over 3.5 goals.
