Manchester City is hosting Newcastle United in what’s set to be an exciting Premier League clash on Saturday night.
The champions and treble winners just added the European Super Cup to their overflowing trophy collection after beating Sevilla in a penalty shootout. It’s their first Super Cup win.
However, City suffered a massive setback with the news that key player Kevin de Bruyne will be out for the rest of the year due to a severe hamstring injury.
This could prompt Pep Guardiola to dive back into the transfer market, but first, he has to deal with a formidable challenge from Newcastle this week.
Eddie Howe’s team kicked off the new season with a stunning 5-1 victory over an Aston Villa squad many had expected to perform well this season.
Manchester City is the odds-on favorite here, with the best price at 7/10. Newcastle United is available at 4/1 with bet365.
Recent head-to-heads Last season, City easily won 2-0 at the Etihad, but the teams played an entertaining 3-3 draw at St James’ Park.
Goals Betting Tips
Erling Haaland, the goal-scoring machine, is unusually not odds-on to score anytime. You can get even odds on him scoring on Saturday night with bet365, after netting twice last week at Burnley.
Swedish international Alexander Isak has now scored 12 goals in just 18 league starts for Newcastle and bagged a brace last week against Villa. He is 3/1 to score anytime which is better value.
