Newcastle United hosts Aston Villa in round 28 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Friday, March 12th at St. James' Park (Newcastle)
At the junction of January and February, Newcastle United managed to win twice in three rounds. Then it seemed that the team finally closed the issue of their survival in the Premier League. And perhaps, the players themselves relaxed because they no longer won after that. Truth be told, the results of the meetings cannot be called unexpected. Steve Bruce's men lost to the giants, Chelsea and Manchester United, and managed to take a 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton (the Wolves conceded first and answered closer to the end of the meeting). But a goalless draw with West Bromwich last Sunday could come back to haunt. Fulham that beat Liverpool on the same date is now only one point behind.

Aston Villa looked very battle-worthy in the current championship. In the last season, the Lions had to wage a tough struggle for survival. And now the representative of Birmingham looks like a contender for the European Cups. But it's no secret that one of Dean Smith's trump cards was Jack Grealish. Now the key midfielder is injured, and that immediately affected the game and the results of Aston Villa. Without him, the team managed to beat only unstable Leeds. There were two defeats to Leicester and even Sheffield United, and the last home match on Saturday ended in a goalless draw with Wolverhampton. In both last meetings, the Lions failed to score at least one goal - Watkins is not so good without his assistant. It seems that Jack has recovered from his injury, and they say that he has a good chance to appear on the pitch on Friday. But what condition will the key player have after a long absence?
The team that plays on its field has not lost in ten head-to-head matches in a row. Aston Villa can boast of two victories in the last three games, but both were gained at home. Newcastle has not been impressive for a long time, and Aston Villa has not shown anything special in recent matches. The upcoming match is likely to be extremely tense, so we recommend betting on Under 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
