Newcastle take on the visitors Aston Villa in the round 23 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, January 25th at St. James' Park (Newcastle).
Newcastle delivered solid results last season. They won the battle with Aston Villa and finished fifth in the Premier League. A year earlier, they had claimed their first trophy in many years, even if it was only the League Cup. This season, they have again reached the semi-finals, although they lost the first leg at home to Manchester City, 0-2. In addition, the English side are once again competing successfully in the Champions League. January proved difficult in the cup, but they still progressed past Bournemouth on penalties after a 3-3 draw. In the Premier League, the start was tough, yet by mid-winter they improved with a strong winning streak. However, the last round against Wolverhampton brought a clear setback, ending in a goalless draw. Overall, Newcastle’s form has been trending upward despite occasional slips. They look more confident at home and increasingly comfortable handling pressure matches.

Aston Villa are genuinely strong right now. The "Villans" reached their current high level after bringing Emery back to England. He immediately guided the team into European competition, and last season they played in the Champions League, where they were eliminated only by PSG in the playoffs. However, in the Premier League they eventually lost their place in the top five to the "Black and Whites" on tiebreakers. The start after the summer break was difficult, with an early League Cup exit and five winless opening league rounds. Since then, though, they have gathered momentum across competitions. They beat Tottenham away 2-1 in the cup and secured early qualification for the Europa League knockout stage. Most importantly, they managed to catch up with Manchester City in the league standings. Still, a heavy 1-4 defeat to Arsenal and a goalless draw with Crystal Palace exposed some inconsistency. In the most recent round, they even lost 0-1 to Everton. Despite recent setbacks, Aston Villa remain competitive against top opposition. Their performances suggest a team capable of responding after defeats, even if consistency is not yet perfect.
The "Magpies" had won three matches in a row. However, in 2025 they managed only one point from two meetings. The match is too important, which is likely to affect the spectacle. It is worth considering a bet on "total under 3.0 goals."
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
