Newcastle has seen a modest improvement recently but still faces challenges, with just two victories from their last 11 Premier League home matches, including five defeats.
Meanwhile, Arsenal, in the title race, has won four of its last five away fixtures at this level.
Arsenal’s recent matches have been relatively low on goals, with ten of their last 13 league games producing two or fewer. Newcastle’s home matches have shown a similar trend, with under 2.5 goals in 13 of their previous 18, indicating that this encounter could be another tightly contested game.
Both teams have kept clean sheets in recent outings: each of Newcastle’s last five league games has featured at least one shutout, as have Arsenal’s last three away games.
Prediction
This game is important for both sides, with Newcastle aiming to avoid relegation and Arsenal pushing for a top position.
Despite their differing objectives, both teams have leaned toward draws lately. However, given Arsenal’s strong recent away form, they might have a slight advantage.
Prediction: Newcastle 0 – 1 Arsenal
