Newcastle v Arsenal Betting Tips [5 February 2025]

Arsenal and Newcastle United will meet for the third time this season, on Wednesday, in the League Cup. Hosts Newcastle United have the advantage in this semi-final return leg. Read on for our preview and prediction of the match.

While they aren’t on a great run, especially at home, Newcastle United hold a strong position having won the first leg 2-0. Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon scored the goals in the first meeting.

That result handed Newcastle their second straight win against Arsenal. The Magpies are, however, coming off a 2-1 loss at home to Fulham. That was their second straight home defeat.

Arsenal will come into this game all guns blazing as they seek to halt Newcastle United’s recent dominance in this fixture. The Gunners were lackluster in the home leg but will be revved up after their 5-1 win against Manchester City in the Premier League.

That win over the league champions was Arsenal’s fourth in a row and are unbeaten in six matches. Mike Arteta’s men are particularly on a strong run away from home, having gone nine unbeaten, with six wins in that period.

The visitors will know the big task that awaits, having only won once in the last four visits to Newcastle United.

Newcastle United are coming their second straight home defeat in the Premier League. After falling to Fulham and Bournemouth in the two home games, they are set for an even tougher outing. They do have a 2-0 lead to defend but at some point, they may need to attack.

Arsenal are coming into this game on a strong run and this should be a concern for Newcastle United. The Gunners have four straight wins and have even done better away from home. Our prediction for Newcastle United v Arsenal is for Arsenal to win.
