NEWCASTLE VS ASTON VILLA: BETTING TIPS
NEWCASTLE
Now out of the bottom three, Eddie Howe has warned his players that this positive trajectory has to be the start for Newcastle.
So far, so good for the new manager – their second win in a row on Tuesday night allowed the Toon to be released from the clutches of the relegation zone.
As easy as it was for them to get our of the red zone – staying above the dreaded dotted line is another battle altogether .
After beating Leeds United and Everton, a third win on the bounce would certainly go a long way towards cementing their survival in the Premier league.
Another 50,000+ crowd will cheer them on – but can they keep the momentum going?
LV BET have many Bet Boosters, including Newcastle at 14/9 (2.56) to score first.
We also have the first half to be a draw at 5/4 (2.25) – the Toon have been level at the break nine times in their last 15.
Both teams to score, meanwhile, is 3/5 (1.60).
A 2-0 home win at St James Park this weekend is an attractive 14/1 (15.00).
ASTON VILA
There is little debating the Steven Gerrard effect has kicked in at Aston Villa, even if they didn’t manage all three points against Leeds United on Wednesday.
The club appeared to be going nowhere fast until the Liverpool legend agreed to say goodbye to Rangers and try to get things going again in the Midlands. They are now the division’s great entertainers.
Of course, he could be sitting in the home dugout this afternoon.
But both parties decided it wasn’t quite right as the Toon eventually went for Eddie Howe.
Now Gerrard and his new team want to show St James Park what they missed out on.
Villa have won three of their last five Premier League away matches.
They showed at Everton, Norwich and Crystal Palace that they are starting to get it right on the road.
After playing on Wednesday night, a draw wouldn’t be the end of the world despite failing to hold off a Leeds fightback.
Will both teams leave with a point? A 1-1 draw is 49/10 (5.90) with LV BET.
You can get a 3-1 Villa victory at 18/1 (19.00).
Both sides do like to score goals, and over 2.5 on Sunday can also be backed at 4/5 (1.80).
If you think Villa are going to go in at half-time as the team in front, then that’s a solid 2/1 (3.00) bet.
