Newcastle vs Manchester United Bet Builder Tips

I’ve got a Bet Builder at odds of 17.00 for Newcastle vs Manchester United on Monday December 27th 2021. I fancy the Magpies to get at least a point against a Manchester United side that has found some results in recent weeks. The hosts are due a win and I wouldn’t be surprised if it came here.

I’m going for a home result in this Premier League match. Newcastle welcome Manchester United to St. James’ Park with the two sides in differing form. United have won their last two under new manager Ralph Rangnick and are unbeaten in four since the departure of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Newcastle, meanwhile, are struggling under new boss Eddie Howe. The Magpies have picked up five points since the former Bournemouth boss took over. Still, they’ve lost their last three and conceded 11 goals in the process, scoring just once. The 3-1 defeat to Liverpool and 4-0 loss to Manchester City were perhaps a little more forgivable than that 4-0 demolition at the hands of Leicester.

Goals have been an issue for both teams. Newcastle have scored three in their last six. The underlying data makes for grim reading. The Magpies have had 0.60 xG or lower in each of their last four Premier League matches. They had an xG of 0.39 in their last two matches combined.

Manchester United have also struggled for goals. They’ve scored seven in their last five Premier League games but three of those goals came in the 3-2 win over Arsenal at the start of December. They’ve won only one of their last 12 league games by a margin of two goals or more. Recent results point to a low-scoring matchup here.
