Manchester United take on the visitors Newcastle in the postponed round 34 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 15th at Old Trafford (Manchester).
Manchester United are grinding out the season. The Red Devils still have a chance to win the trophy. But they literally stumbled into the final of the cup, and their match at Wembley against Coventry will be remembered for a long time. The star-studded grand club was leading by 3 goals, but allowed the Championship representative to equalize. Moreover, in extra time, they even conceded, fortunately, it was canceled with the help of VAR, and then the penalty shootout turned out well for the Mancunians. But in the final, there will be their neighbors City, and one can imagine what they will do to van Haal's wards, who suffered a 0-3 defeat from Newcastle in the League Cup back in 2023, and finished a disappointing 4th place in an easy Champions League group that same year. Even focusing on the Premier League, the club showed nothing but regression compared to the 3rd place in the previous season. What about the 0-4 loss to Crystal Palace in May, after which the goal difference became negative! Against this backdrop, the 0-1 loss to Arsenal can even be considered a sign of some progress – many were expecting another rout.

Newcastle in the main part of the season resembled their opponent. Like the Red Devils, they were only 4th in their long-awaited Champions League group, although they showed more fight there, against clearly stronger opponents – Milan, Borussia, and PSG. It's enough to say that the last two played against each other in the semifinals, and the Germans will fight for the Big-Eared Trophy. The black and whites also couldn't maintain their previous level in the Premier League, losing a lot of points against the backdrop of an unusually dense schedule and an injury epidemic. There were even rumors that Eddie Howe was planning to be replaced and candidates were being interviewed for the manager's position. But the young coach managed to noticeably improve with his wards in the spring. Winning most of their matches since late March, the team returned to the European competition zone. And after such a 1-1 draw with Brighton, it looks more like a loss of two points than a gain of one – Chelsea have caught up in the table. However, they gained +1 against Man Utd.
It was the Magpies who defeated Man Utd in the League Cup final in February last year. But then Howe was consistently stronger than his opponent three times. The odds are roughly equal in this pair. But the Magpies looked more solid in the last few rounds, and this will outweigh the home advantage. Let's bet that the visitors will win with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Newcastle to win with 0.0 handicap.
