Arsenal vs Newcastle United Prediction & Betting Tips
Sunday | 15:30 UTC | Emirates Stadium | Premier League
Arsenal host Newcastle United on the final Sunday of the Premier League season with Champions League qualification still on the line. It’s a must-win for Mikel Arteta’s side, but Newcastle arrive in London with momentum and the head-to-head advantage.
Gunners Under Pressure in Top-Four Clash
Arsenal’s end to the season has been anything but convincing. They’ve gone 5 games without a win, including damaging defeats to Fulham and West Ham, and now risk being overtaken in the top-four race.
Injuries haven’t helped Arteta’s side, with key man Kai Havertz ruled out for the season and Martin Ødegaard lacking support in midfield. The Gunners have failed to win any of their last 4 at home and look vulnerable at the worst possible moment.
Despite their quality, Arsenal’s forward line has gone cold. With pressure mounting and confidence dipping, they’ll need to produce a vastly improved display to see off the Magpies.
Newcastle Eye Fourth Win vs Arsenal This Season
Newcastle have timed their form to perfection. Eddie Howe’s side have won 7 of their last 9 league games and could leapfrog Arsenal into second with a win at the Emirates.
They also have a strong recent record against the Gunners. Newcastle have won all 3 meetings this season, two in the League Cup semi-final and one in the league, without conceding a single goal.
Alexander Isak has 23 goals in the Premier League this season and continues to be the difference-maker up top, while the midfield duo of Bruno Guimarães and Joe Willock have added steel and control in recent weeks.
With momentum, motivation, and a chance to finish runners-up, Newcastle should be taken seriously here.
Arsenal vs Newcastle Betting Odds & Tips
Arsenal are slight favourites at 1.95 to win at home, but Newcastle offer value at 3.65. A draw is priced at 3.60. Under 2.5 goals is 2.08, which looks appealing based on the recent head-to-head record.
Isak Tipped to Score at the Emirates
Alexander Isak is in red-hot form with 3 goals in his last 5 games and is 2.60 to score anytime. Ødegaard remains Arsenal’s most consistent threat from midfield and is 4.25 in the same market.
