ASTON VILLA V NEWCASTLE
8pm Just the one Premier League game on Saturday as most of the focus is on the Fourth Round of the FA Cup. The FA have taken the chance to squeeze this fixture in as both sides got knocked out of the Cup in the last round and Villa need to catch up after having a couple of games postponed due to an outbreak of Covid19 at their training ground. All football bets are 0% commission on BETDAQ Betting Exchange on Saturday, so hopefully we can find a winner!
Villa returned to action with a 2-0 loss away to Manchester City, however they wouldn’t have expected much from that fixture. This will see this game as an excellent chance to get back to winning ways after slipping into the bottom half of the table after a very strong start to the season. Newcastle are just sitting away from danger with 19 points, Fulham are seven points behind in 18th and while that is a lot Newcastle just need a couple of points to steady the ship.
Villa only created an xG of 0.70 away to City, but after a break in game and training time it should leave them spot on for this fixture. They have really impressed me this season with the volume of chances they have created. They managed an xG of 4.70 against Crystal Palace to pick out a recent game, but even against Manchester United they managed 1.78. Against a side like Newcastle who give away so many chances, it’s hard to see Villa not taking advantage.
Newcastle haven’t been creating much lately, although granted they have had a tough run of fixture. I think everything points to an easy Villa win here however, and with 0% commission on offer I’m happy to take the 1.53 on Villa.
The Striker Says:
Two points win Aston Villa to beat Newcastle at 1.53 on BETDAQ Betting Exchange
