Newcastle vs Manchester United
English Premier League
Date: Saturday, October 17, 2024
Starts at 20pm UK / 00pm CET
Location: St. James Park.

The Red Devils got the better part of their lives on the last day of the Spurs game. The fact that Tottenham had been managed by José Mourinho, sacked by the United coaching staff two seasons earlier, made the defeat all the more bittersweet.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men need a win this weekend at any cost, not even a simple win. They need a decisive victory, with a large number of goals. That was the ridicule that followed the loss to Spurs.

Suffice it to say that confidence was shaken at Old Trafford. But they have the talent and experience to come back, and as everyone knows, comebacks are a Red Devils thing.

It helps that they take over magpies, which have been inconsistent lately. Importantly, Steve Bruce's men have been absolutely terrible at home for the last few months.

And to further make the case for Solskjaer's men, they also have a great h2h record against this opponent.

Probably expect injured Manchester United to pull off a resounding victory this Saturday.

Newcastle vs Manchester United: Head to Head (h2h)

• The last time these two horns collided, the Devils managed a 4-1 win.
• They also recorded 24 of their previous 28 overall wins.
• In this place, guests won 11 of the previous 14 victories.
• The home team also failed to score in four of the seven previous games at this ground.

Newcastle vs Manchester United: Prediction

The Magpies claimed a 3-1 home win in the last round against Burnley. Meanwhile, Solskjaer's charges lost 1-6 at home to Tottenham last week.

Despite the loss, the Devils are still the favorites. The reason is that they have been one of the best teams in the EPL for the past few decades, and they also finished third in the table in 2019-20.

They were also on a three-game winning streak prior to this loss, and this loss in particular should serve as a wake-up call for the team. We're about to see a team determined and desperate to prove their worth this weekend.

On the other hand, their opponents are winless in 13 of their previous 20 games overall and have had a total of just three home wins in their previous thirteen matches here.

More importantly, Solskjaer's men have a 2-hour record of dominance over this opponent.

With those observations in mind, expect Manchester United to pull off a convincing victory this Saturday.
