Newcastle - Manchester United: Tips, prognosis & odds - 27.12.2021 - ENGLAND: Premier League
The first half of the 2021/2022 season in the Premier League will end at the beginning of next week with the game between Newcastle United and Manchester United. Interim coach Ralf Rangnick's team will then be the favorites for victory. While they could all win the last 3 league games, the "Magpies" had to accept 3 defeats in a row. In a direct duel, we therefore tend to bet on an away win for Manchester United.

For Newcastle United the air in the table cellar is getting thinner. Although the deficit of currently three points on the saving bank is not yet worrying at this point in the season, the Magpies have also played one or two more games than the direct competition in the fight for relegation. The fact that only a single triple succeeded in 18 matches underscores the problem with which the nouveau riche club is struggling with difficulty.

Duck therefore weighs on both teams. Logically, a soccer treat is not necessarily to be assumed. A bet on a particularly high number of goals is also out of the question given the recent appearances of these clubs. It may therefore be of interest to combine two markets in order to find an exciting Newcastle vs. Manchester United tip. The double chance X2 and a maximum of three hits in the course of the game look promising before kick-off on Thursday evening at 9:00 p.m. in St. James Park.

Will Newcastle United lose 4th game in a row?
Newcastle United has recently become the richest football club in the world, but the Magpies are threatened with relegation to the EFL Championship. In the top English league you can only find them on the penultimate place in the table. The star ensemble around Cristiano Ronaldo is fighting for the Champions League ranks and has been unbeaten for 6 competitive games. Will it cause Newcastle their 4th loss in a row early next week?

The "Magpies" won only one league game this season
Since Newcastle United was recently taken over by a consortium in which the state investment fund of Saudi Arabia holds 80% of the shares, the club from Newcastle upon Tyne has recently become the richest football club in the world. It would be a shame for its investors if "The Toon” were relegated to the EFL Championship after this season. After 18 match days, Newcastle is in the Premier League on the penultimate place in the table. The deficit on the "saving bank" is currently 3 points, although the seventeenth in the table still has to play 2 catch-up games. Nevertheless, relegation is still absolutely feasible. In order to realize this, the new rulers in the club will probably strengthen the team during the winter break. Before that, the relegation candidate welcomes Manchester United at home in St. James' Park as part of the last first half match day.

Most recently Newcastle United had to cope with 3 defeats in a row in the English upper house of football. The "Magpies" lost 4-0 against Leicester City and Manchester City and 3-1 against Liverpool. As a result, they conceded 11 goals in their last 3 games. These many goals conceded in the recent past were no accident. With a total of 41 goals conceded, Newcastle has the most vulnerable defensive in the Premier League. "The Toon" lost 10 of their 18 league games so far. In addition, the 2nd half has already been lost 10 times. This also applied to the last 3 performances. Coach Eddi Howe will have to do without midfielder Isaac Hayden in the last first round game next Monday. He saw his 5th yellow card against Manchester City.

Newcastle stats & current form
18 games, one win, seven draws and ten defeats! This is what Newcastle United's balance sheet reads for the current season. So it's no wonder that the Magpies are currently only leaving Norwich City behind in the rankings, and only because of the better goal difference and one more game on the account.

Newcastle's defense continues to be a headache
In total there are already 41 goals scored; even Leeds United with the second most vulnerable back line had to swallow five fewer goals. By the way: Newcastle will also have the worst defense of the English top division for the entire calendar year 2021.

However, there is hope in this context that the Magpies seem a bit more stable under the new coach, at least at home, than under his predecessor Steve Bruce. Only in one of the last three home games was there more than one goal against (0: 4 against ManCity). With this in mind, we could well imagine making a prediction of a maximum of three goals in the course of the game in the duel between Newcastle and Manchester United.

In 9 of 16 league games, Manchester United won the second half
In November, Manchester United announced the split with manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The record champions of the Premier League went through a negative phase at this point and moved further and further away from the all-important Champions League ranks. After Michael Carrick took care of the "Red Devils" for 3 games, Ralf Rangnick announced the engagement.

The "football professor" should take over the runner-up from the previous season at least until the end of the season and lead him into the premier class. Under his direction, the "Red Devils" have played 3 competitive games so far. They won in the Premier League against Crystal Palace as well as against Norwich City and reached the round of 16 with a 1-1 draw in the premier class against BSC Young Boys.

Manchester United stats & current form
For Manchester United it is about Thursday evening not to let the connection to the top group of the Premier League tear off. As currently seventh in the ranking, the record champions are already 20 (!) Points short of their city rivals and leaders Manchester City. They are eight points behind in fourth place, even though Arsenal FC, based there, have already played three more matches. With a small winning streak, things can still go up quickly.

Both in the home game against Crystal Palace and then at Norwich City United were able to record 1-0 wins. The game seemed more balanced, the defensive more stable and the whole appearance more mature and tactical than under Solskjaer. Six points from these two games underline the positive start with the ex-Leipziger, who is said to have made the back four socially acceptable in Germany.

In view of these impressions, it is therefore a good option between Newcastle and Manchester United to combine the odds for at least one point win by the guests with a relatively low number of goals. Among other things, the Bet365 app offers such configured bets.

By the way, an interesting fun fact is that no coach in the history of Manchester United has managed to go straight to his first three league games without conceding a goal. Apart from that, the Magpies are doing pretty well to the record champions. The last four league duels all went to the Red Devils, who have also not scored more goals against any other club than against their upcoming opponents in their first division history.

In view of the latest appearances, however, a shooting festival is not necessarily to be believed, with Ralf Rangnick having an almost complete squad available for the first time in many weeks. Even the long-term injured Pogba, Varane, Cavani, Martial or Wan-Bissaka could become serious options. Because the last competitive game is more than two weeks in the past due to various cancellations, the topic of fatigue or stress control can be excluded.

Expected formation of Manchester United:
De Gea; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Telles; Fred, McTominay; Sancho, Fernandes; Ronaldo, Rashford
The last two games against Brentford FC and Brighton & Hove Albion had to be postponed because too many United players were in quarantine at home. After a break of about 2 weeks, the "Red Devils” can now continue. They are currently unbeaten in 6 competitive games and have won 4 of these 6 games. This season they make a much stronger impression in their 2nd halves than in the 1st half of the game. While Manchester United has only recorded 4 halftime leads in the league, the table sixth has already won the second round 9 times. Ralf Rangnick will still have to do without Paul Pogba against Newcastle United. The Frenchman has been banned from the club since the end of October and is not available due to an injury.

Betting base forecast & Newcastle - Manchester United: Tip
At the end of the 19th matchday in the Premier League, Newcastle and Manchester United face each other at the start of the week on Monday evening. According to the betting odds, no questions remain unanswered as to which of the two teams is the favorite. From day to day, the prices on the away win of the Red Devils are falling, which is sometimes due to the fact that the personnel situation in the Rangnick team is increasingly improving.
Free soccer picks
Since it is still a bit too risky for us to place a bet on the three of the guests, we have decided to play a maximum of double the chance X2. We consider it extremely unlikely that the Magpies will get their second win of the season. It is similarly interesting to aim for a maximum of three hits in the course of the game. Under the new German coach, defensive is more trump card at seventh place than before.
Free soccer tips
We are therefore playing the combined tip between Newcastle and Manchester United that the guests do not lose the game and that the spectators in St. James Park get to see a maximum of three goals. At the tested bookmaker Bet365, we get a 1.75 for this at the top, which is worth a stake of seven units.
Free soccer predictions
Conceivable betting alternatives are, for example, the favorite's victory to zero. It would be the third in the third game under Rangnick or a bet that the guests will only steer the match into their own paths in the second half after initial difficulties. The double result HTX / FT2 would be a suitable solution here.
