At 23:30 on April 13, Beijing time, in the 32nd round of the Premier League, Newcastle United sat down at St James' Park Stadium to face the challenge of Manchester United. The two teams met for the first time this season, Newcastle away 2-0 won three points; This time the two teams meet again, whether it is for the fierce competition for Champions League qualification, or the desire to restore the glory of the former giants, make this game full of interesting. Judging from the current data, Newcastle are still the dominant side.
Newcastle United's performance this season has been remarkable, currently in the fifth place in the Premier League table with 53 points, with a game less they are on the same point as Chelsea in fourth place, only on goal difference. However, the Magpies are still not taking things lightly, with sixth-placed Manchester City just one point behind them and firmly in the hunt for Champions League qualification. In such a fierce competitive situation, Newcastle United can not have any mistakes, the result of each game may directly affect whether they can take the last bus of the Champions League, a little careless will miss the precious opportunity to enter the Champions League. The team has been in excellent form recently, currently in the midst of a four-game winning streak, including a 2-1 victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup final to win the championship. The team's offensive firepower is fierce, the league has scored 52 goals, which can not be separated from the play of the striker Isaac; As the team's own goalscorer, Isaac is currently ranked third in the Premier League with 20 goals, only one goal behind Haaland, and his play in this game may directly affect the team's win or lose.
Manchester United as the traditional Premier League giants, this season's performance is not satisfactory, 31 rounds of games, the team only got 38 points ranked 13th in the league; The points gap with the top six teams has reached 14 points, it can be said that it is almost goodbye to the European qualification, and the Europa League title has become the only way to obtain the qualification of the Champions League next season. The lack of attack is a major problem for Manchester United at present, and Ganacho and Hoylen are not in good condition in the front line, and it is difficult to carry the burden of goals. The team as a whole lacked creativity and relied too much on Bruno Fernandez. Although coach Amorim has made a series of adjustments to the tactical system since taking office, but also in the running-in stage, the tactical execution in the face of strong teams often has problems. And Manchester United's two-front battle, in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-final that just ended in midweek, the away 2-2 was tied by Lyon, which is not small in the physical and mental consumption of the players. In addition, from the warring history of the two sides, Manchester United does not occupy the advantage, in the recent four encounters only achieved a record of 1-4, the first leg of this season is at home 0-2 lost to Newcastle, the psychological level is at a disadvantage.
The figures for the match were 1.65(Newcastle win) 4.20(draw) 4.76(Manchester United win). The strength gap between the two teams on paper is not obvious, but combined with Newcastle's recent hot state and Manchester United's too intensive schedule, this game gives the main win to 1.65 position is enough to reflect its advantages; More than four times the draw and United win direction is not easy to play. According to the scoreline odds, Newcastle 2-1 win at 8 to 1, is the lowest. All in all, this game is going to be a 2-1 win for Newcastle.
