Newcastle United will be looking to make their season better than it already is when they host Manchester United next in the Premier League. On matchday 32, fifth-placed Newcastle will be looking to leap into the top four when 13th-placed United visit. Read on for our prediction of this match.
With a whole week’s rest, Newcastle United will be keen to make it count with three points at home. They are in good form and should not be worried a lot about their next visitor.
The Magpies are on four wins in the last five league matches and won eight of their 14 at home this season.
Manchester United were busy in midweek, with an away game in France in the Europa League. The Red Devils suffered a late blow, conceding in the dying minutes to draw 2-2 with Lyon.
That result left them winless in the last three matches and having failed to score in two of them. United have just three wins in their last 11 outings in all competitions. This season has been so tough that United are on just four wins in their last 15 league matches.
Three of those four wins were against teams in the relegation region. Meanwhile, in their last five meetings with Newcastle United, they lost four.
Domestically, Manchester United have had a poor run so far, and a game against Newcastle United could make things worse. The Red Devils have lost 13 times already this season and are sure to finish outside the European football positions.
Their hosts are chasing one of those positions, and that will dictate the effort Newcastle United put in here. The Magpies have dominated this fixture in recent meetings and will still hold the favorites’ tag based on recent results. Our prediction for Newcastle United v Manchester United is that Newcastle United wins the match.
