Aston Villa v Newcastle Preview
Aston Villa’s Form
Since Unai Emery was appointed in November 2022, Aston Villa have become one of the most consistent sides in not just the Premier League but also in Europe finishing his first full season with the club with the club 4th in the Premier League and the Europa Conference League semi-final. Their trajectory has continued this season narrowly missing out on a Champions League semi-final and with 6 games remaining only trail Newcastle in 3rd place by 5 points.
Midweek against PSG any hopes of a historic comeback were seemingly put the bed early when Hakimi and a Mendes goal put them 1-5 behind on aggregate and with everything to do. However, what transpired next was a sensational comeback with Tielemans (34th), McGinn (55th) and Konsa (57th) meant with a little over half an hour remaining they stood a chance of the most unlikely of comebacks. But it wasn’t to be, and they excited the Champions League.
While Aston Villa were exceptional midweek, I do feel that they could suffer from a post-Champions League hangover given the dramatic nature of said win over PSG.

Newcastle’s Form
Since the Saudi takeover of the club in 2021 the club has undergone a steady and consistent rise in stature and consistency going from relegation worries early in their ownership to qualifying and competing in the Champions League along with also reaching an EFL Cup Final. This season they took another step towards the club's evolution following their 1-2 EFL Cup victory last month over Liverpool. In the Premier League, they’re 3rd with 6 games remaining and 4 back of Arsenal ahead of them.
Newcastle midweek made it 6 consecutive wins in all competitions and 5 in the Premier League following a 5-0 hammering of Crystal Palace. The most notable stat from the game (aside from the score) was that Newcastle only accumulated an XG of 2.33 from 14 shots compared to the Crystal Palace total of 2.38 from 11 shots. It showed how ruthless they were in front of goal.
It's already been a historic season for the club and they’re riding a wave of momentum that makes them a very difficult proposition for any of their opponents.

Key Players To Watch
Marcus Rashford - Aston Villa
There’s very little to say that hasn’t been said when it comes to Marcus Rashford (27) both in a positive and negative sense. However, the one thing that can’t be dismissed is despite his clear talent, his stock has fallen considerably, which is why he was sent to Aston Villa on loan.
Rashford is a confidence player, and he looks to be slowly growing again following another solid showing against PSG midweek, he can be gotten at 11/2 to score first or 13/8 to score at any point.
Rashford anytime goal - 7/4
Alexander Isak - Newcastle
The “New Zlatan” (25) is one of the most potent finishers in the Premier League and as his nickname suggests also has the skill and holding-the-ball-up ability of his legendary compatriot.
This season he has 25 goals and 6 assists across 37 games in all competitions including 21 and 6 assists in 29 league games. He is 9/2 to score first in this game and 5/4 to score anytime.
Isak first goal - 9/2
Aston Villa v Newcastle Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Aston Villa 1-2 Newcastle
Aston Villa came agonisingly close to bringing their midweek tie with PSG midweek but require another win here to stay in touch with the Champions League places for next season.
Newcastle have been exceptional since their EFL Cup victory and with 6 games remaining stand an outside chance of finishing as Premier League runners-up.
Two sides flying at the moment, but I think Newcastle are a great bet given their head-to-head record recently, their form and the potential of a Villa Champions League hangover.
Best Bet: Newcastle - 7/4
Newcastle to win - 7/4
