Newcastle – Man City ingyenes tipp és előrejelzés
This weekend sees the sixth round of the English Premier League, with the opening game a real showdown as Newcastle host Manchester City.
Team news
Newcastle were in a good run before the two-week layoff and then managed to win 2-1 at Wolverhampton, meaning they continued their good run. Last weekend, however, they suffered a somewhat surprising 3-1 defeat at Fulham, which saw them slip to sixth in the table.
During the week, the Magpies would have had the opportunity to improve as they were due to visit lower league side Wimbledon in the League Cup, but the home pitch was unplayable…
Howe’s side will therefore be looking ahead to Saturday with a mixed outlook, with Botman, Lascelles, Wilson and Miley all likely to miss out through injury.
Although the visitors are unbeaten this season, they are not looking forward to the weekend in great form. After the break, they could only beat Brentford by one goal (2-1), followed by a Champions League draw against Inter (0-0) and on Sunday they were only 2-2 at home to Arsenal. They had a man advantage throughout the second half, but only scored the equaliser in the 98th minute through Stones…
They did, however, set the tone for Saturday with a 2-1 win over second division Watford in the League Cup, less than 48 hours after the game against the Blues…
Guardiola’s head must be spinning, having lost one of his best players, Rodri, for a long spell against Arsenal, while Bobb and Aké are both out of action and De Bruyne, who has not played in the last two games, is a doubt for St James’ Park…

Free tip for Newcastle vs Man City
The two sides met four times last season, with Newcastle winning 1-0 in the League Cup and progressing at home, while City won the other three. In the FA Cup, the Sky Blues won 2-0 at home, and in the league they won 1-0 at home and 3-2 away.
It was clear that, even if Guardiola’s side won, the Magpies were good for a close game. And based on the predictions, we can expect a match like this, even if the visitors are unbeaten this season, but they could still have some important draws, and they play a BL match in Bratislava on Tuesday, while the home side are coming off a defeat, so we would try to win this match with a betting tip.
We’re betting on at least four penalty cards. The latter is not much to expect in a close game, especially as the home side are averaging 2.6 and the visitors 2.2 penalty cards in the PL this season, with the scorer being Australian Gillett, who has given out at least four yellow cards in his three games in the league this season. Or we think there’s plenty of potential in this tip at a whopping 1.80 times odds, which means it could turn green…
