Aston Villa is ten winless in their top flight and has suffered seven losses along the way, so there must be a lack of confidence in their squad. Meanwhile, Newcastle has won 11 of their 15 Premier League games on their patch, which is pretty good.

Twelve of Aston Villa’s last 16 games in the Premier League have scored under 2.5 goals, so the excitement is relatively short. Also, before the final game, nine of Newcastle’s previous 14 games had only scored a few goals at this level.

Incredibly, Aston Villa has kept 14 clean sheets in at least 14 of their previous 15 games at this level, and they have failed to score in eight away games. As for Newcastle, both teams have only scored five goals in their last 20 Premier League home games, so don’t expect too many fireworks.

This match will end 1-0 in favor of Newcastle.
