Newcastle v Arsenal Betting Tips [2 November 2024]

Off the back of wins in the League Cup, Arsenal and Newcastle United will meet to contest for three Premier League points on Saturday. The two sides are having contrasting seasons, with the Gunners third and hosts, the Magpies, in 12th. Let’s have a look at the prediction for this match.

Newcastle, facing Chelsea for the second time in a week, exacted revenge in their 2-0 League Cup home win. That should act as a boost for the team, having lost 4-1 in their last meeting with Arsenal.

Eddie Howe’s side, however, beat Arsenal 1-0 here last season, albeit in controversial fashion.

Arsenal have lost their defensive mettle in recent Premier League matches, but a 3-0 win over Preston should be a massive boost. A much-changed Gunners side booked a quarter-final slot in the cup competition courtesy of a sublime away performance.

They go into another game on the road having failed to win in their last two away matches in the league. Their case isn’t helped by the fact Arsenal have ever-recurring injury issues.

Now it is defensive rock Gabriel who is set to sit out, joining Takehiro Tomiyasu, Riccardo Calafiori and Martin Odegaard. However, 10 wins in 13 meetings with Newcastle should be soothing enough.

Newcastle United will target adding to Arsenal’s away day troubles, with the Gunners failing to win in the past two in the league. However, this is an opponent Mikel Arteta’s side has dominated over the years. Arsenal will be buoyed by a run of four wins in their last six visits to St. James’ Park, while Newcastle have been shaky this season.

Having rested more key players in midweek, the feeling will be that Arsenal are favorites here. Our Newcastle United vs Arsenal prediction is for Arsenal to win.
