This is the same old preview from 2 days ago, but since it went down a bit in the reading section I decided to put it up so it’s easier for the viewers to find.
August 16th, 20:00 BST Manchester United v Newcastle
Prediction: “Over 2.5 Goals” Odds: 1.77 Bookmaker: Betfair.com
The runner up for last year Manchester United, will meet the team that comes back from Championship, Newcastle after hell of a season there.
United has already showed a bit of their shape, by beating Chelsea for the Community Shield Cup with 1:3. This years goal for Manchester United is definitely winning the league after letting it slip last year.
Meanwhile Newcastle will want to make a good first impression after a season away in Championship. Both teams know each other quite well from previous seasons, so we can expect an interesting game.
United has met Newcastle on Old Trafford 9 times in the past 10 years and has tied only twice and won the other 7 times. Five out of those nine times the games have ended Under 2.5 Goals and 4 time over.
Since the odds for a win seem just not enough and the odds for away victory or a draw seem a bit risky, I will be looking for an Under/Over prediction here. I am leaning more into Over 2.5 Goals direction, because of the game against Chelsea, and because Newcastle is hungry for goals, now once again in Premier league.
