United Gunning for Seventh Straight Victory

Aston Villa’s Champions League journey was ended by Paris Saint-Germain in midweek. However, the Villans made a valiant effort, coming from behind to win the second leg 3-2. Still, Unai Emery’s men lost 5-4 on aggregate and were eliminated.

Villa’s form over the past couple of months has been exceptional, winning nine of their last ten in all competitions. The Midlands club have shot up the Premier League table, now just a point away from the Champions League places.

Newcastle are also one of the form teams in England right now. Eddie Howe’s troops have picked up six league and cup wins on the bounce, scoring 12 goals in their last three Premier League matches.

The Magpies sit pretty in third after Wednesday’s 5-0 victory over Crystal Palace. United are just four points behind second-place Arsenal and five points above sixth-place Chelsea.

With both teams in such fine form, this is tough to call. However, Aston Villa were knocked out of Europe in midweek, and Newcastle hammered Palace, so we are siding with a narrow win for the visitors. United are priced at 2.78 to leave with maximum points.

Newcastle have scored the opening goal in five of the last six meetings. You can get the solid betting odds of 2.10 for Howe’s troops to open the scoring at Villa Park on Saturday.
