Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Manchester City vs Newcastle

Manchester City

The Citizens capitalized on Arsenal's slip-ups and are just four points behind the top spot, still in the title race. Pep Guardiola's side are crucial to continuing to win, especially in home matches in front of their fans, so they're likely hoping to take all three points in their next match. Manchester City has reached the Champions League round of 16, remains in the FA Cup, and will also play in the League Cup final, meaning a very busy period lies ahead for the Citizens. It will be interesting to see how the Spanish coach distributes playing time among his players and whether his team can achieve success in all competitions.

Newcastle

The Magpies finally ended a horrific three-game losing streak in the English Premier League last round, beating Tottenham away. This season, Newcastle sits in mid-table and is unlikely to challenge for a European spot. Eddie Howe's men recently lost twice to their future opponents in the League Cup semi-finals, so they'll be looking to gain revenge despite the away game. Newcastle managed to upset Manchester City in the first round, meaning the visitors will likely have a chance, although their current form and team spirit raise many questions.

Game Totals Prediction

An interesting match in the next round of the English Premier League, pitting Premier League teams in the Champions League. The teams have already met three times this season, and bookmakers rightly favor Manchester City, who will be playing at home, are in good form, and are simply the better team. Newcastle will certainly try to put up a fight, but from a tournament perspective, this game is considered far more important for the home team. A promising bet for this match could be a Handicap 1 (-1) bet at 1.74.
