Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Newcastle vs Aston Villa

Newcastle

Newcastle are at the bottom of the English Championship table, but this place clearly does not reflect the strength and potential of this team. The Magpies are quite capable of fighting for positions that give the right to play in European Cups next season and in the coming rounds the team will clearly be determined to improve its position in the Premier League. This season, Eddie Howe's charges are performing quite inconsistently, and Newcastle's top scorer in the current English Championship is Swedish forward Alexander Isak, who scored seven goals.

Aston Villa

After a good start, the Birmingham club slowed down and fell out of the European Cup zone, and in general, they show much more modest results than in the last successful campaign. This season, Aston Villa is having a hard time playing on several fronts at the same time, including playing in the Champions League, where the team is aiming for an early exit to the playoffs. The English championship remains a priority tournament for Unai Emery's charges, and their top scorer in the current competition is Ollie Watkins, who has seven accurate strikes.

One of the most interesting matches of the 18th round of the English Premier League, in which Newcastle will try to beat a strong Aston Villa on its home field.
