Game Preview

Aston Villa fought bravely against PSG and even had a chance to level the score and force extra times in the quarterfinal rematch. But in the end, it was 3-2 for Emery’s team, which, on aggregate, wasn’t enough for them to advance to the semis.

Over the previous 11 games across all competitions, Aston Villa won 10, losing just that one in Paris. The past 8 were all with over 2.5 goals, and in general, the Villains are playing efficient and interesting football.

Newcastle has won the last 6 meetings, and its form is peaking. The offensive side is fantastic, delivering 12 goals in the last three appearances.

Alexander Isak leads the way with the Swedish striker netting 21 goals this year, second-most in the league behind Mohamed Salah. Isak also has 6 assists along the way.

Aston Villa vs. Newcastle Head to Head

Newcastle beat Aston Villa 3-0 in the opening match of the year. This was the Magpies’ third straight win, and they scored 11 goals during this span. Also, six straight meetings between these teams have seen over 2.5 goals.

Aston Villa vs. Newcastle Predictions

Aston Villa needs to attack, and they do have the firepower to score. The same goes for Newcastle, so we expect to see over 2.5 goals in this event.
