There’s been a flurry of goals in recent Newcastle matches, with over 3.5 goals hitting the mark in their last seven Premier League outings. Arsenal’s games haven’t been far behind, with four out of their last five Premier League clashes also surpassing the 3.5 goals threshold. Bukayo Saka, in particular, has been on fire, scoring six goals in his last four league games. Arsenal is poised to make a significant statement in the title race. Despite a surprising midweek loss to Porto, Arsenal is expected to return to form in what’s shaping up to be another goal-rich encounter against Newcastle.
The Gunners have secured five consecutive league victories, amassing an impressive tally of 21 goals along the way, highlighted by thrashings of West Ham and Burnley in their recent outings. This scoring spree has propelled them within striking distance of the league summit, now just five points behind with a game in hand over the leaders, Liverpool.
Magpies’ Defensive Woes In contrast, Newcastle’s aspirations for a repeat of last season’s Champions League spot seem to be fading, with the team currently sitting eighth and a significant 12 points off the top four. Their defence has been particularly porous of late, conceding nine goals in their last four matches, despite scoring 12. This trend suggests another high-scoring game could be on the cards at the Emirates. Given the recent scoring history of both teams, betting on over 3.5 goals in this match seems like a wise move.
Saka to Lead Arsenal to Victory Arsenal’s recent home win over Liverpool and Newcastle’s defensive lapses against several teams suggest a potential 3-1 victory for Arsenal could be a smart scoreline prediction. Bukayo Saka, who has been exceptional in front of goal lately, looks like a strong bet to score anytime, especially considering his scoring record against Newcastle in recent seasons.
