Newcastle vs Arsenal Betting Tips

This Newcastle vs Arsenal betting tips section provides expert recommendations based on form, statistics, and betting value.

Newcastle have displayed defensive solidity throughout their EFL Cup campaign, conceding just two goals in five matches. Their disciplined backline has been a key factor in their success, and with Arsenal missing key attacking players, a clean sheet for the Magpies is a strong possibility.

Alexander Isak has been in fine goalscoring form, netting 17 goals in the Premier League this season. He was on target in the first leg at the Emirates and will be Newcastle’s primary goal threat once again. Given his current run of form, backing Isak to score at any time during the match offers excellent betting value.

Newcastle vs Arsenal Match Prediction

Our Newcastle vs Arsenal prediction takes into account recent performances and head-to-head encounters.

Newcastle stunned Arsenal in the first leg, securing a well-deserved 2-0 victory despite having significantly less possession. The Magpies demonstrated clinical finishing and a resolute defensive structure, limiting the Gunners’ attacking threat.

Since that result, Arsenal have endured a mixed run of form, exiting the FA Cup to Manchester United on penalties and drawing 2-2 against Aston Villa after surrendering a two-goal lead. Despite their victory in the North London derby, their inconsistency raises questions about their ability to overturn the deficit against a determined Newcastle side.

Newcastle, on the other hand, followed up their triumph at the Emirates with a 3-1 FA Cup win over Bromley and a convincing 3-0 victory against Wolves. However, they were brought back down to earth with a 4-1 home defeat to Bournemouth. Eddie Howe will be hoping his side can rediscover their defensive resilience in this crucial second-leg clash.

Given Newcastle’s solid home form and Arsenal’s struggles in recent weeks, the hosts are well-positioned to progress to the final.

Match Prediction: Newcastle to win. Bet with bet365.
