Arsenal vs Newcastle United Premier League Bet Builder & Predictions
The Arsenal vs Newcastle United fixture on Sunday offers an intriguing Bet Builder opportunity. With both sides locked in a top-two battle, our experts suggest a Bet Builder of Alexander Isak to Score or Assist (6/5), Newcastle to Win (27/10) and Over 2.5 Goals (18/25).
Arsenal boasts an impressive home record, averaging two points per game (PPG) at the Emirates versus Newcastle’s 1.56 PPG away, while their head-to-head encounters have yielded an average of 2.6 goals with both sides finding the net only 29% of the time.
Arsenal leads the scoring first in 78% of home fixtures, compared with Newcastle’s fifty-six per cent first-to-score rate on the road, highlighting the hosts’ early-goals edge and a Win to Nil angle, although we are not backing that to happen.
In attack, Arsenal rack up an expected goals (xG) average of 1.90 at home against Newcastle’s away xG conceded of 1.21, supported by 14.22 shots per match, underpinning the Over 2.5 selection.
Recent form also leans towards the Gunners, who have won three of their last five home fixtures and kept clean sheets in 33%. In contrast, Newcastle has recorded two shut-outs from five away trips while averaging 51% possession on the road, reinforcing both the Win to Nil and Over 2.5 goals propositions.
However, I feel the mental stress of missing out on the league means Newcastle might have a slight edge.
Alexander Isak to Score or Assist (6/5)
Research: – Alexander Isak has scored twenty-three goals and provided six assists in thirty-three Premier League appearances for Newcastle, yielding a goal-involvement rate of around seventy per cent. – Newcastle average 1.54 xG per match and record 4.83 shots on target in away fixtures, highlighting Isak’s opportunities to either score or assist. – With a shot conversion rate of 15% and an average of seven shots per game, Newcastle create the platform for Isak to be directly involved in goals.
The 25-year-old is in good form, scoring two in the last three games (Ipswich and Brighton).
Newcastle to Win (27/10)
Research: – Newcastle United have secured eight wins from eighteen Premier League away fixtures (a 44% win rate), including victories over Chelsea and Ipswich, demonstrating their potency on the road. – Arsenal have managed just six clean sheets from eighteen home games (a 33% clean-sheet rate) and concede an average of 0.96 expected goals per match at the Emirates, presenting a clear defensive opportunity for the visitors. – The Magpies have kept five clean sheets in away fixtures (28%) and concede only 1.47 expected goals per road match, underlining their capacity to stifle strong home sides.
Arsenal showed true grit to come from two goals down vs Liverpool, but the draw means they have won only one of their last six in the league
Over 2.5 Goals (18/25)
Research: – Arsenal have delivered Over 2.5 goals in 56% of their home games this season, with an average of 2.83 total match goals at the Emirates. – Newcastle have seen Over 2.5 goals in 61% of their away fixtures, with matches averaging three goals per road outing, reflecting strong scoring trends. – The Gunners have failed to score in only 11% of home fixtures, while Newcastle have found the net in 83% of away games, reinforcing the likelihood of at least three goals.
