Manchester United vs Newcastle United Prediction Prediction Match Details
Manchester United hosts Newcastle at Old Trafford for the final Premier League home game of the season in round 34. Both teams are vying for a top-six spot in the English top division.
Manchester United Preview & Form
Manchester United suffered their 14th defeat in their last match against Arsenal at Old Trafford, with the game ending 1-0. The poor run of results has put Manchester United boss Erik Ten Hag under serious pressure. The Red Devils have struggled in their last 10 Premier League matches, managing only two wins, four draws, and four losses. Erik Ten Hag will be hoping his team can bounce back from their two consecutive losses and secure a European spot. Manchester United currently sit eighth in the league standings with 54 points, and a win in the upcoming match could see them move to a provisional sixth place, depending on the result of Chelsea, who will play earlier.
Manchester United’s home form has been inconsistent in their last five Premier League matches, with two draws, two wins, and one loss.
Newcastle United Preview & Form
Newcastle United has reversed its fortunes in the last few weeks after being at risk of missing out on European qualification. The Magpies will not return to the UEFA Champions League next term but are vying for a spot in the Europa Conference League. Under Eddie Howe’s leadership, the team has shown a strong performance in the last eight Premier League matches, recording five wins, two draws, and a defeat. In their last match, the Magpies secured a 1-1 draw against Brighton last weekend at home, and they will aim to stay on track for European qualification.
However, Newcastle has struggled in away matches, losing four out of their last six games on the road. Their most recent away match against Burnley ended in a 4-1 defeat.
