Newcastle take on the visitors Manchester United in the round 14 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, December 2nd at
The realities of 2023 are such that in the Newcastle vs. Manchester United match, the odds for the victory of The Magpies are just over two, while the odds for the success of the Red Devils are almost four. And with such numbers, there's hardly any room for argument, even though the teams are neighbors in the table, with the hosts positioned one place lower. Eddie Howe's wards in the current Premier League season have played almost flawlessly at their home stadium. After losing to Liverpool (1-2) in the third round, Newcastle embarked on a series of five consecutive home victories in the championship, defeating Brentford (1-0), Burnley (2-0), Crystal Palace (4-0), Arsenal (1-0), and Chelsea (4-1). At the start of the season, The Magpies even thrashed Aston Villa (5-1) at home.

Is the current Manchester United a match for such a Newcastle? I believe so, despite the three victories of Erik ten Hag's team in the Premier League. Nine points in three rounds are excellent, but one shouldn't overestimate the Manchester United squad. Whom did they beat in these matches? - Everton, Luton Town, Fulham. Agree, these are not as formidable opponents as The Magpies, and there's not much to say here. Today's Manchester United doesn't inspire confidence at all. In the first 13 rounds of the championship, the team has already suffered five defeats. They lost away to Tottenham (0-2) and Arsenal (1-3), and at Old Trafford, they were defeated by Brighton (1-3), Crystal Palace (0-1), and Manchester City in a crucial derby (0-3).
Both teams have serious personnel issues. However, against the backdrop of today's Manchester United, the current Magpies look like favorites. English teams played in the Champions League during the week, settling their matches in draws. Only Newcastle faced PSG in Paris (1-1), and the Red Devils couldn't beat local Galatasaray in Turkey (3-3). The difference in the class of opponents is significant, and the outcomes are essentially the same. Moreover, the Magpies played their match a day earlier, which, given the tight schedule, should not be overlooked. In the Premier League, Eddie Howe's proteges have performed well at home this season, while Manchester United looks weak in matches against top opponents. In November, Newcastle crushed their opponent at Old Trafford (3-0) in the League Cup. In the last direct meeting between the teams at St James' Park, the hosts were stronger (2-0). So, this time, I'll lean towards a victory for The Magpies at a very generous odds. The bet is on Newcastle to win (P1).
Prediction for the match: Newcastle to win.
