Newcastle United v Manchester City Premier League Betting Tips 28/09/24

The two Middle East-backed giants of the Premier League go head-to-head on Saturday as Newcastle host Man City, so here’s our Newcastle United v Manchester City Premier League Betting Tips. Both sides have made solid starts to the 2024/25 Premier League. The Toon have lost just once in their opening five matches. Reigning champions Manchester City are unbeaten and have taken an early lead in the league table. This is likely to be a highly entertaining encounter, with bags of quality from each side. Tune in to TNT Sports at 12:30 on Saturday to watch.  

Form and Team News

Newcastle made a strong start to the new season and were unbeaten in five successive matches in all competitions, winning three. Eddie Howe’s side continued their good form either side of the September internationals. The Magpies secured 2–1 wins against Tottenham at home and Wolves away. But their purple patch ended with a 3-1 defeat at Fulham on Saturday. Man City are undefeated in all competitions this season, with five wins and three draws from eight games. Pep Guardiola’s outfit opened their Premier League account with four straight wins. This impressive start was followed by back-to-back draws with Inter Milan in the Champions League (0-0) and Arsenal at home (2-2). The Citizens were back to form on Tuesday after beating Watford 2-1 in the EFL Cup.

Looking at the team news, Newcastle’s defensive duo Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles are out. Striker Callum Wilson and Lewis Miley are also sidelined until October. Man City’s biggest injury concern is Rodri, who could be out for the season after sustaining an injury against Arsenal. He joins Nathan Ake and Oscar Bobb in the treatment room.

Match Winner Bet

Perhaps unsurprisingly, City are the leading favourites to take all three points from St James’ Park on Saturday. The champion’s long-term Premier League form is incredibly strong. They have notched 13 wins from their previous 14 – with the Arsenal draw their only dropped points. City also edged Newcastle in recent head to heads, as the Manchester club have won the last four Premier League clashes. A potential City win comes with fair odds, as William Hill are providing 8/13. But a Newcastle triumph cannot be ruled out, especially with the home advantage coming into play. At St James’ Park, the Toon have won six of their last eight league fixtures, including two wins from two this season. With Bet365 offering 17/4 odds for a home win, there may be value in sticking with a Newcastle win. Our main match winner tip for Newcastle vs Manchester City though is a draw. Rodri is a monumental loss for City, and Newcastle really don’t drop many points at home. Howe’s side are undefeated in 10 on Tyneside and have lost just twice in their previous 17 on home turf. At 7/2, offered by Betfair, backing a draw between Newcastle and Man City looks a great shout.

Over/Under Goals Betting

Newcastle and Man City have seen a few high-scoring results in the 2024/25 Premier League. However, the sides rarely break the mark of over 2.5 goals. The Magpies have seen under 3.5 goals in six of their previous seven, with the 3-1 loss at Fulham their only blotch. Under 3.5 goals has also landed in three of City’s last four in all competitions. Moreover, four of the previous five clashes between Newcastle and Man City have ended either 2-0 or 1-0, suggesting another tense encounter could be in store. Backing under 3.5 offers a little more security than the under 2.5 goals market. But there are still some good potential returns on offer, with BetMGM providing 7/10 for three or fewer goals at St James’ Park.

Anytime Goalscorer Bets

Any time City play, Erling Haaland must be considered in the anytime goalscorer market. There has been no stopping last season’s top scorer in the Premier League. In just five appearances, he has scored 10 league goals, including two hat-tricks. With Haaland on a roll, backing him to strike again is a solid pick, and Paddy Power has fair odds at 4/5. This weekend though, we are avoiding the obvious Haaland heroics and looking at Newcastle’s Harvey Barnes. After an injury-hit 2023/24 campaign, Barnes has been a regular under Howe early this season. The English forward has started Newcastle’s last three league games and repaid Howe’s faith with a goal in each fixture. In a front three with Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak, Barnes could get more chances against a City side that has kept just one clean sheet this season. If you’re looking for a better value anytime goalscorer pick beyond Haaland in the Newcastle vs Manchester City fixture, Barnes could be your man. Unibet has the best odds here at 22/5.

Newcastle will want to utilise their home form effectively, especially against the top sides. Howe’s side will also be eager to respond to a 3-1 humbling at Fulham. How City will cope without Rodri is a big question mark, but the reigning champions certainly have enough class to get something from St James’ Park.
