Manchester United vs Newcastle Prediction 15 May 2024

🔊Manchester United, who are suffering lately, will host Newcastle at the Old Trafford Stadium on May 15. The fans who regularly fill the stands of the Theater of Dreams now only dream that this nightmarish season will end as soon as possible. The Red Devils are beating one anti-record after another, although they still retain hope for European competitions. To do this, it is necessary to beat the Magpies, who currently occupy 6th place.

Team News
Ten Hag cannot count on a huge number of important players. The biggest losses in defense are Malacia, Martinez, Varane, Shaw, Lindelof and Maguire. Martial and Mount will definitely not help in attack. The participation of Bruno and Rashford in the match, who missed several previous rounds, is also questionable.

Newcastle does not have a lot of problems, although the situation is also difficult. In March, Botman, Lascelles, Miley and Targett were sidelined, and Willock and Cher were out of action in April. Do not forget about the disqualified Tonali. Most of these guys would qualify for a place in the starting lineup.

Head-to-Head Meetings
Newcastle has become an uncomfortable opponent for Man Utd. In the last 4 matches in the Premier League, the Red Devils have never beaten the Magpies. They have lost to them twice this season – in the Premier League (0-1) and the League Cup (0-3). It would be incorrect to disregard the bet Newcastle to win given the current situation.It is also worth paying attention to the bet both teams to score (no). This bet was realized in the last 5 H2H meetings.

Trends

• Manchester United have not won in 7 of the last 8 matches in the Premier League.
• Newcastle has not lost in 7 of the last 8 matches.

Referee and fouls
Robert Jones, an aggressive and reasonably devoted referee, will officiate the meeting. He has averaged 21 fouls and 3.8 yellow cards in the last 10 matches. In 4 of the last 5 games, Jones has shown fewer than 4 warnings.

Manchester, who only receives 9.5 fouls in home games, does not try to use rule breaking as a way to solve problems on the field. Given that the "Red Devils" have not shown any particularly aggressive behavior on the field, their yellow card indicator is a low 1.9.

Newcastle is not a tough team either. An average of 10.6 fouls per away match is a low figure. According to the yellow cards on the road, the Magpies also do not exaggerate in foul play, earning 2.2 “yellow cards".

Taking into account the above statistics, it seems logical to bet on the total of yellow cards less than 4.5.

Corner

• A total of more than 10.5 corners has been played in 12 of Manchester United's last 14 Premier League matches.
• Manchester United have won more than 4.5 corners at home in 7 of the last 8 Premier League matches.

The trends suggest that we are in for a match with lots of corners. United earn an average of 7.7 corners per game at home, while Newcastle win 4.2 when playing away. A bet on total corners over 10.5 must pass.

Team Overview
Manchester is on a series of two defeats ti nil and has won only 1 of the last 8 Premier League matches - a real disaster. Ten Haga's team can only save this season by winning the FA Cup, and there are no special hopes for the championship anymore. The Red Devils' injury-plagued defense is bursting, losing in the first half in 6 of the last 7 Premier League matches.

Newcastle have the opposite statistics – only 1 defeat in the last 8 league matches. It seems that the Magpies will not remain without European cups, although the current season has also turned out to be incredibly difficult for them. After manager Howe pulled through, his players are scoring goals with an impressive regularity and accumulating points with confidence. They especially like to do this in the second half. In 10 of the last 12 away matches, the “black and white” won after the break.

Editorial prediction
Manchester is now so vulnerable that even Newcastle is considered the favorite for the match at Old Trafford. However, the bookmakers' estimates are fair. United are simply weaker than their opponents at the moment – to achieve a result with such a terrible defense is almost like a miracle. As it has in the previous 6 of 7 Premier League games, we think the Red Devils' defensive concerns will start to show in the first half of the encounter. The final bet is a Newcastle goal in the first half.
