Newcastle vs Aston Villa: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Lineups

Newcastle vs Aston Villa predicted formations

Newcastle host Aston Villa at St. James’ Park on Saturday, October 17 (12:30 PM ET / 11:30 AM CT / 9:30 AM PT).

Newcastle will be without the injured Ewen Jaouen and Valentino Livramento this weekend, and doubts remain over Jacob Ramsey, Anthony Elanga, Dan Burn, Amar Dedic, Lewis Miley and William Osula. That leaves extra responsibility on Joseph Willock, Harvey Barnes, Yoane Wissa, Lewis Hall and Sven Botman to carry the home side’s threat going forward. Aston Villa travel to St James’ Park without the ruled-out Amadou Onana, Ian Maatsen, Modou Cisse, Leon Goretzka and Matteo Ruggeri, with Brian Madjo and George Hemmings also doubtful, leaving Nicolas Jackson, John McGinn, Johan Manzambi and Emiliano BuendΓ­a as the players Villa will lean on.

Newcastle have taken eight points from six league games this season, while Aston Villa have collected five points from the same number of matches, and that gap feels fair given how each side has performed domestically. St James’ Park has seen goals at both ends in recent home games, and with Villa shipping chances on the road, the pattern points toward another game where both teams find the net before Newcastle’s extra quality decides it.

    Potential Match-Winners

    • Joseph Willock (Newcastle): The defensive midfielder has scored twice already this season, offering Newcastle a physical presence and set-piece threat from midfield.
    • Harvey Barnes (Newcastle): Harvey Barnes has scored once but leads Newcastle’s creative play, setting up ten chances and hitting five shots on target from eleven attempts this season.
    • Nicolas Jackson (Aston Villa): Nicolas Jackson has scored twice for Aston Villa this season, testing keepers with four shots on target from twelve attempts, and remains the visitors’ likeliest source of a goal at St James’ Park.

    Newcastle have drawn two, won two and lost one of their past five league matches: a draw, a win, a draw, a loss and a win in that exact order. The sequence closes with a 2-1 win over Hull City at St James’ Park, following a 4-1 loss at Leeds and a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth.

    Newcastle vs Aston Villa Prediction

    Signal’s model settles on a 2-1 win for Newcastle, with goals at both ends matching the pattern this fixture has followed all season. Joseph Willock has the scoring pedigree to add to Newcastle’s tally, while Nicolas Jackson gives Aston Villa a route to goal, before the hosts’ extra edge at St James’ Park proves decisive.
