Manchester City clearly lack stability in the game, after a poor November-December the Citizens started to regain form, but then followed by a 5-1 defeat to Arsenal, also the recent home defeat to Real Madrid again shows the big problems in defence. Manchester City are currently in 5th place, 2 points behind the top 4.
Newcastle are next to Manchester City, behind only because of the number of goals scored, so the ‘forty’ also have a chance to get into the UEFA Champions League zone. Although Newcastle lack stability in the game at the moment, alternating wins with defeats.
The hosts look the nominal favourite, but the team will now be more focused on the next match in the UEFA Champions League, so Newcastle will also have chances to score today.
Prediction: at least 3 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 2.5" bet, odds 1.43
