Tuesday 29th January 2019
FA Premier League, St James’ Park
Live on BT Sport 1 – Kick-Off: 20:00 GMT
Premier League strugglers Newcastle United will play host to inform Manchester City this Tuesday night.
Rafa Benitez’ side are currently in the midst of a relegation dogfight however gave themselves a lifeline as they beat Cardiff 3-0 in their last match. Meanwhile, City are in incredible form with 8 wins in a row and 28 unanswered goals across their last five matches.
Newcastle are priced at a huge 12/1 by SkyBet to win this match. The home side will be in high spirits after their 3-0 win over Cardiff. Amazingly Fabien Schar managed two goals from centre back however Salomon Rondon continued to impress in a white and black shirt. The Ecuadorian has five goals this season and his physical presence has thoroughly improved the Newcastle attack. He is 13/5 to score anytime.
Whilst Newcastle have performed poorly this campaign, their defence has been well organised and rigid. They have conceded 31 goals in 23 matches. They aren’t likely to keep their visitors quiet however and are 25/1 to pull off a miracle and win with both teams scoring.
Manchester City are the clear favourites and are fancied at 2/11 by SkyBet. As mentioned, Pep Guardiola’s side are back to being feared and have managed a staggering 28 unanswered goals. The whole attack seems to be clicking and the introduction of Kevin De Bruyne is another big boost. The Belgian is price boosted at 9/1 to score outside the area. Gabriel Jesus has also been in red hot form with 8 goals in his last 5 appearances. He is 16/5 to open the scoring.
City have had six clean sheets in a row. Newcastle possess very little attacking threat and the visitors seem likely to make it seven in a row. They are 10/11 to win to nil.
The referee for this match will be Paul Tierney. The official averaged 30 booking points in his one and only Premier League match this season. Newcastle have averaged 18.2 booking points per match whereas City have averaged just 9.4.
