The clash between Manchester United and Newcastle United is set to be one of the highlights of Matchday 18 in the Premier League. The match will be played at Old Trafford.

In Matchday 17, Manchester United had a disappointing trip to Birmingham, where they suffered a 2–1 defeat against Aston Villa. The Red Devils have stopped impressing their fans in recent weeks. After an away win over Wolverhampton, the league’s bottom side, United followed that up with a chaotic 4–4 draw against Bournemouth and then another defeat.

Last week, Newcastle United managed to secure a positive result with a draw against Chelsea. However, considering they were leading 2–0 and played at home, some fans may see that outcome as a missed opportunity. At the moment, Newcastle are neither threatened by relegation nor seriously competing for top positions. After last season’s success, such results are clearly disappointing for everyone involved with the club.

Prediction for the Manchester United vs Newcastle United

Ahead of this match, bookmakers quite reasonably consider Manchester United the favourites. However, Newcastle should not be underestimated. Even playing away from home, Newcastle United are unlikely to sit back defensively, as that approach does not suit their style.

This should create space on the flanks for the Red Devils to exploit, which is why I recommend betting on a Manchester United victory.
