Aston Villa v Newcastle: Prediction, tips and bet builder as European aspirations hang in the balance
With their European exploits now seale in the history books, Aston Villa return to Premier League duties as they welcome Newcastle to Villa Park this Saturday evening (1730 GMT).
Villa’s Champions League quarter-final second leg clash with PSG was เล่นบาคาร่า UFABET เว็บตรง ค่าคอมสูง one of those ‘where were you when it happene’ moments.
Unai Emery’s men came within one goal of completing one of the most remarkable comebacks in European football history, eventually losing 5-4 on aggregate against the Parisians.
Newcastle won’t be threatene in the slightest by Villa’s impressive display. Afterall, they too beat PSG on home soil in the Champions League just a couple of seasons ago.
On one hand, it’s still quite strange talking about these two clubs and the Champions League in the same article. It’s not long since both clubs were in mid-table irrelevancy. Or worse, in relegation trouble.
Both teams to score
Backing both teams to score is a no brainer in this one. Both clubs have on a goal scoring spree in recent weeks, and that is not a trend that looks to be slowing.
Villa, for instance, have scored exactly three goals in six of their last eight matches across all competitions.
In total, Emery’s men have scored 21 goals across those eight matches – this includes the three goals against PSG on Tuesday night.
Newcastle have also gone goal-crazy in recent times. The Magpies have scored 16 times across their last five matches.
