Aston Villa take on the visitors Newcastle in the round 31 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, April 15th at Villa Park (Birmingham).
Aston Villa are not lacking in ambition. In Birmingham, they remember their glorious history and want to achieve something new and significant. Steven Gerrard brought order compared to his predecessor, Dean Smith. However, he has shown himself to be a rather limited specialist so far. By autumn, the young Englishman had already disappointed, and without waiting for a collapse, they replaced him with Unai Emery. The Spaniard had already tried himself in England but was fired from Arsenal and clearly wanted to prove that he could be successful in British football. Most likely, he negotiated with his new employers that he would be given the opportunity to work for far more than 1 year. However, Aston Villa immediately began to show results. In his debut match, Emery was able to beat Manchester United themselves. And thanks to an excellent run starting from February, when they only drew with West Ham, Emery's team managed to climb to 7th place. They didn't stop there - after dealing with Nottingham Forest, Unai Emery's wards were able to rise even higher by 1 step, showing that they want to enter the international arena all at once.

Newcastle were hopelessly close to relegation during the last season. However, the generosity of the new owners from Saudi Arabia, combined with smart management and coaching talents brought by the new coach Eddie Howe, led to a fantastic 2022. Firstly, the Magpies managed to climb from the bottom of the table to its middle by the end of the previous season. Secondly, in the new season, the black and white was among the top three in the Premier League and reached the final of the League Cup. However, they faced some difficulties during an unsuccessful period, and the decisive cup match ended in a 0-2 defeat to Manchester United. Also, the team significantly dropped in the championship when they stopped scoring goals. But they managed to solve the problems and find a way out in March. Before the break for national team games, they won 2-1 against Wolverhampton and Nottingham Forest. In April, they also had a pleasant revenge against Man United, winning 2-0. After that, they even thrashed West Ham. It was expectedly tougher against Brentford, as they conceded first just before halftime. But the black and white team answered with two goals in the second half, securing a determined victory.
Aston Villa had not lost to Newcastle in five consecutive matches, alternating wins with draws. However, in 2022, the Magpies managed to win both matches, although it is worth noting that they were played at St. James' Park. Both teams have gained excellent form by mid-spring and are expected to delight everyone with a bright head-to-head game. We recommend betting on total over 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
