Friday 12/03/2021, Premier League Action Newcastle take on Villa at St James’ Park 8PM Kick-Off GMT
Prediction:
Newcastle Win @11/4
Preview:
Relegation-threatened Newcastle United will be looking for their first victory in over a month when they continue their Premier League campaign at home to European chasers Aston Villa on Friday night.
Newcastle, who drew 0-0 with West Bromwich Albion last weekend, are currently 16th in the table, just one point outside of the bottom three, while Villa currently occupy ninth position in England’s top flight.
Fulham’s form over the last few weeks has left Newcastle seriously looking over their shoulder, with the Magpies now just one point clear of the relegation zone, albeit with a game in hand on the Cottagers.
Steve Bruce’s side, who are also one point ahead of 17th-placed Brighton & Hove Albion, are currently on a four-game winless run in the Premier League, losing to Chelsea and Manchester United, in addition to drawing with Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Bromwich, since a home success over Southampton.
Villa, meanwhile, will enter Friday’s contest off the back of a goalless draw with Wolves on Saturday, meaning that they have only won one of their last five games in the Premier League.
A brilliant campaign has seen Smith’s side collect 40 points from their 26 matches, which has left them in ninth position, just three points off eighth-placed Liverpool with two matches in hand over the champions.
