Data provided by

Newcastle United have been involved in goals at both ends all season, and they host an Aston Villa side that has struggled to score, in a Premier League meeting at St James’ Park, with a 5:30pm kick-off on Saturday.

Anthony Eadson’s Newcastle United vs Aston Villa predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.

Premium Tips

Newcastle’s games have been chaotic at both ends, which shapes the two bets that stand out.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Over 3.5 goals6/4 (BoyleSports)Newcastle have been box-office for the wrong and right reasons, scoring 10 but conceding 13 in six games. Their last two outings produced a 4-1 defeat at Coventry and a 2-1 win over Hull, and goals have followed them everywhere. Villa are leaky on the road, having conceded six in three away trips, even if their own scoring has dried up. With Newcastle so open at the back, a high-scoring game looks likely, and 6/4 for four or more goals rates good value.
Newcastle United to win and both teams to score11/4 (bet365)Newcastle have scored in every league game this season, so the home side finding the net feels close to a given. They are unbeaten in three at St James’ Park and should have enough to edge a Villa team that has lost three of six. The visitors have scored in their last two, meaning both teams on the scoresheet with a home win is a realistic outcome. At 11/4, backing Newcastle to win in a game with goals at both ends appeals.
