The Sky Blues have won twenty of their twenty-two Premiership matches prior to this week’s Manchester City vs Newcastle United betting tips and they look set to collect the most points ever gathered by one team in an English top-flight season. Manchester City have scored a staggering thirty-nine goals in just eleven league outings at the Etihad since August, averaging an eye-watering 3.5 goals per game.

Newcastle United have lost just one of their last five matches, though that defeat came at the hands of Guardiola’s men just after Christmas. Nevertheless, it’s been a good few weeks for Rafa Benitez, especially with talks of boardroom upheaval clouding things in the background. Benitez’ hasn’t been able to get much out of the Magpie’s attacking players this season though. Overall, Utd have averaged just 1.1 goals per game in the EPL in 2017/18.

Manchester City vs Newcastle United Prediction and Betting Advice

With the outright result, Manchester City vs Newcastle United bets markets generally not worth your time for this game, investigating the options in the goal markets is a much more worthwhile endeavour. As we detailed earlier, the Citizens have averaged 3.5 goals per game at the Etihad this season, making them by far the most potent side in the league when playing at home.

Guardiola’s silky side have actually scored three or more goals fourteen times already this term and next week they face a team who they love to slam the goals in against. In these clubs’ last two meetings in Manchester, City put eleven goals past the Magpie’s keeper. In the corresponding fixture in 2016/17, the Sky Blues hit their visitors for six.

United’s games away at Man Utd and Chelsea offer a nice frame of reference for the kind of match we should expect in their game at City next week. In those games, Benitez’ defence shipped four and three goals respectively. The Premier League football betting odds we uncovered at Betsson represent the best bang for your buck, so take our advice and bet with them.

Strangely, Argentinean superstar Sergio Aguero has been marginalised at times this season by Pep Guardiola, who has left the diminutive frontman on the bench in favour of Gabriel Jesus. However, now that Jesus faces a spell on the sidelines, Aguero has been restored to a central striker berth and as usual, he hasn’t disappointed.

Aguero has found the net four times in his last three appearances and his red-hot form makes him an easy inclusion in today’s Manchester City vs Newcastle United predictions. Aguero has thirteen goals in just fifteen Premier League starts in 2017/18 and really he should be one of the first names on the team sheet.

Amazingly, Aguero bagged five of City’s six goals in their 6-1 out of NUFC in last year’s fixture at the Etihad, in fact, he has grabbed six goals in total in his last three appearances against them. Tipping Aguero to strike again next week using the brilliant odds at EnergyBet is a fantastic way to close our selection of English football betting tips for today.
