Manchester United, including the League Cup, have suffered three defeats in a row, and have not scored a single goal in the last two matches. Newcastle, on the contrary, have warmed up, gained impressive momentum and are approaching the upcoming game on a winning streak of four matches in a row, scoring at least three goals consistently. Will the Mancunians cope with such an opponent on December 30? - the answer is in our forecast. Also, the site star experts Roman Pavlyuchenko and Dmitry Gradilenko share their bets on the game
Command Analysis
Manchester United
EnglandCurrent form
The change of coach at Manchester United did not solve all the problems right away. Only in some matches under the leadership of Ruben Amorim could one see a good game, good attacking actions and goals scored. There is still no real breakthrough, many are waiting for the winter transfer window. For now, the Red Devils occupy a modest 14th place in the table, eight points behind the European Cup zone.
https://www.manutd.com target=_blank rel=noopener>Manchester United only win in the last five rounds was in the derby against Manchester City (2:1). The result, of course, deserves respect, but even such a victory in a difficult battle did not help the team to start a winning streak. In the last two rounds, Amorim charges suffered "dry" defeats against Bournemouth (0:3) and Wolverhampton (0:2). For a contender for a place in the European Cup, of course, it is unacceptable to lose points against such opponents, no matter what form they are in.
Even the home factor does not help Manchester United much, although we are used to seeing the team perform strongly and score a lot of points at Old Trafford. In their last two home games, the Mancunians lost to Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth, conceding three goals each.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fernandes and Ugarte will serve suspensions. Lindelof, Mount and Shaw will not play due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting

Newcastle United
EnglandCurrent form
Newcastle players have caught a decent courage and it is difficult for any opponent to stop them now. The turning point for the team was the match against Leicester, in which a crushing victory of 4:0 was recorded. Then in the League Cup, Brentford was confidently overcome (3:1). In the last two matches in the Premier League, the Magpies have registered “dry” victories over Ipswich (4:0) and Aston Villa (3:0).
Nine points scored in the three previous rounds allowed Newcastle to get close to the top 6. At the moment, Eddie Howe charges occupy seventh place, but their main competitors have already played their matches in the 19th round. Accordingly, a victory today will allow the Magpies to rise straight to fifth place.
Newcastle success is largely due to their powerful attacking play. Isak stands out in the attack, having scored a hat-trick in the match against Ipswich, as well as one goal against Aston Villa. In total, the forward has scored 11 goals and made four accurate passes.
Disqualifications and injuries
Wilson, Pope, Lascelles, Krafth and Botman are all out today due to injury, with Livramento a doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Newcastle have won their last four games in the first half
- At least three goals have been scored in the Magpies' previous five Premier League games
- Both teams have scored in 10 of Newcastle last 12 away Premier League games
- Newcastle have lost seven of their last nine games on fouls
Estimated line-up: Dubravka – Trippier, Scher, Burne, Hall – Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton – Murphy, Isak, Gordon.

1.57Tip and bets
Largely due to the fact that Manchester United is playing at home, we see almost equal odds for the winner. However, it is noticeable that even at Old Trafford, the Mancunians have not been able to do much lately. Newcastle, on the contrary, has gained impressive momentum, the team is unstoppable in attack, and has no problems with implementation. The visitors know very well how to beat the Red Devils, as they have beaten them in three of the last four head-to-head encounters, and all three victories were achieved with a “dry” score. Taking into account the odds and the current form of the teams, a bet on the visitors suggests itself.
Our prediction is Newcastle to win with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 1.86
Bet on total
We don't expect more than one goal from Manchester United. The Mancunians have failed to open the defense of Bournemouth and Wolverhampton even once, while Newcastle have not conceded more than one goal in four matches in a row, and have even kept a clean sheet in three cases. We also remember that the Magpies have won their last three head-to-head matches with a "dry" score.
The second bet is Manchester United individual total goals under 1.5 with odds of 1.76
Bet on the first half
We recommend paying attention to a good option for betting on the opening 45 minutes. Newcastle won in the first half in four previous matches. At the same time, Manchester United has obvious problems in this game segment - in 12 of the last 14 matches the team did not win in the first half.
