Premier League: Newcastle United vs Arsenal - Betting Tips, Odds & Prediction

Mikel Arteta takes his Arsenal side to St. James Park on Monday, which has not been a happy hunting ground for his team in recent seasons. Newcastle United, however, have not had the ideal start to their Premier League campaign this season, as they are feeling the sting of losing star striker Alexander Isak to Liverpool.

BettingTop10-approved sites have released their odds for this upcoming Premier League clash. Let’s have a look at them so that we can identify the best betting opportunities in this game and roll out the best Newcastle vs Arsenal predictions.

Newcastle United

Scoring more than 20 goals in a Premier League season is no walk in the park, and Isak has done it in back-to-back seasons for the Magpies. Given the Swedish international fired in 44 goals for Newcastle over the past two Premier League seasons,Eddie Howe was desperate to keep him at the club.

But, Liverpool finally got their man, and the impact on Newcastle has been as clear as day. Even though their new striker Nick Woltemade scored in his debut, the Tyneside outfit has scored only three goals in league matches so far, with just one win to their name.

Team news: Anthony Elanga and Jacob Murphy will fight for the spot alongside Woltemade up top as Yoane Wissa remains sidelined with an injury.

Predicted Lineup: Pope; Thiaw, Burn, Botman; Trippier, Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton Hall; Woltemade, Murphy.

Arsenal

After three consecutive second-place finishes, Arsenal have gone all out during the transfer window, determined to bridge the narrow gap that has kept them from becoming champions.

Some football betting sites even consider them a likelier winner than current champs Liverpool, but the Gunners have not had a perfect start to their campaign so far.

They have 10 points from their first five games of the season, which is a decent return, considering they have played United and Liverpool away and City at home. But, Liverpool have already opened a five-point lead at the top.

Arsenal will be eager to close the gap with a more favourable round of fixtures ahead, but first, they need to secure maximum points in a tricky match on the road at St. James Park.

Team news: Noni Madueke has picked up an injury that will keep him out for two months, but Buakayo Saka has returned to fitness just in time to start on the right wing.

Predicted Lineup: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Eze, Merino, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres, Martinelli.

• Arsenal have lost in four of their last five trips to St. James Park.
• Newcastle are unbeaten home to Arsenal since May, 2023.
• Both teams have scored only once in the last five Arsenal-Newcastle games.

While Howe’s men have struggled in attack, they have been rock solid at the back. Newcastle have conceded only three goals so far - just Arsenal and Crystal Palace have conceded less.

Arsenal have let in only two goals in the Premier League, and only one of them was from open play. Plus, from their other two games in the Champions League and the EFL Cup, they had clean sheets in both.

The Gunners have scored 10 goals, but they are not comfortable playing against quality backlines. We are predicting a low-scoring match, but feel Arsenal have the quality to edge past Newcastle.

Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle @ $11.00

Both teams have top-notch defences. But with the loss of Isak and Arsenal adding the likes of Victor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze, Arsenal have the better attacking unit. They should be able to nick a goal and return home with three vital points. We’re backing this scoreline on Bet365, which offers a sweet return of $11.00.
