Manchester United vs Newcastle: Preview, free tip and statistics

10.09.2021 12:00

The English league returns to our TV screens after a forced national break and with it the Manchester Red Devils welcome the Magpies of Newcastle United to Old Trafford on Saturday afternoon.

Background information, news and team form

The main domain of this match could be the second debut of Portuguese megastar Cristiano Ronaldo. The returnee to the Reds line-up completed his move to this club with his latest signing two days ago. United have had a fairly successful start to the season, managing to win twice and draw once. After a 5-1 home triumph over Leeds United, the Reds only managed to draw at Southampton's ground and then in their last game, they pulled off a hard-fought victory against Wolves thanks to a late Mason Greenwood goal, which earned him the United Player of the Month award for August.

Steve Bruce's charges, on the other hand, have had an absolutely disastrous start to the new Premier League season. They lost their first two games at home to West Ham 2-4, despite leading after the first half. In the second game they lost 2-0 away at Aston Villa after goals from Ings and El Ghazi. In addition, the Magpies also crashed out of the EFL Cup in the opening game. In the last game over the national break Newcastle managed to at least draw, but it must be said again that in the 91st minute Newcastle were still leading 2-1. The Magpies are not going to have a pleasant season this year, and the fight for the last rungs to the last round is almost certain, despite the promises of the owner Ashley, no big strengthening took place and the squad narrowed even more and still remains very unpromising. 

 

 

Betdoin's view of the game 

Manchester go into this match as clear favourites at odds of 1.20. A draw is priced by the bookmakers at odds of 7.35 and an away win is priced at odds of 16. The home side are expected to dominate this match and a possible away goal is not unrealistic either, hence the goal line listed more up top. Our clever Betodin algorithm will place the value in the goals bet or in the over on yellow cards.
