Manchester City vs Newcastle. Shape of the Teams

City will take on Newcastle at the Etihad in the FA Cup quarterfinals. The hosts are still in the hunt for the Premier League crown but missed a golden chance to take the lead in the Premier League due to a 1-1 draw against Liverpool in the last round.

In addition, they continue to fight for the trophy in the FA Cup, where they have already beaten Huddersfield (5-0), Tottenham (1-0), and Luton (6-2).

The current season has proven more challenging for Newcastle than the last when they managed to finish in the top four. This shouldn’t be surprising, as they faced a massive injury plague, making it difficult for Eddie Howe to field a strong lineup for each new game.

While Newcastle’s key players are gradually returning to the fold, they have not yet been able to climb higher than the tenth place in the standings. Nevertheless, they have already claimed victories against Sunderland (3-0), Fulham (2-0), and Blackburn (2-1) in the FA Cup.

Manchester City vs Newcastle Prediction, Odds

Pick: Manchester City and both teams to score No
Odds: +114 (Tonybet)

In the last 12 head-to-head matches, Newcastle has managed only a solitary win against City (along with 2 draws and 9 losses). Their only victory occurred in the EFL Cup last September.

This season, City retains a chance of winning the FA Cup, the Premier League, and the Champions League. If City win all these tournaments, they will repeat their achievement of 2023, when they achieved the treble for the first time in history.

City’s dominance in head-to-head matchups at the Etihad is overwhelming – with nine consecutive Premier League victories. Moreover, Newcastle did not score a single goal in the five previous matches during this period.

Despite a somewhat lacklustre second half against Liverpool, where they barely escaped a loss, the match against Newcastle will be a different ball game.

I am fairly confident that Josep Guardiola’s team will secure a straightforward victory in the upcoming match. Eddie Howe’s team – much weaker than their opponents – has struggled in away fixtures, further tipping the scales in City’s favour.

Manchester City vs Newcastle Betting Tip

Pick: City Individual Total over 2.5
Odds: -120 (Tonybet)

Newcastle have been playing surprisingly attacking soccer lately. In the last eight matches, Eddie Howe’s men scored and conceded a total of 34 goals – 4.25 on average per game – a very high figure even in the goal-rich environment of English soccer.

Manchester City will undoubtedly squeeze the initiative from the first minutes and create numerous threats in attack. The formidable duo of Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne is a force to be reckoned with. We can all remember the stunning goal the Belgian scored in the previous match while also delivering the decisive assist for Oscar Bobb’s winner.

The last head-to-head meeting between the rivals turned out to be rich in goals and drama, ending in a thrilling 3-2 victory for the Cityzens. Based on this, I think that Man City will be able to dominate the flow of the game and score over 2.5 goals.
