Command Analysis
Manchester City
EnglandCurrent form
The Manchester City players cannot gain confidence and calmly bring the match to victory. Another failure occurred last week in the first game of the 1/16 Champions League final against Real Madrid. Until the 86th minute of the game, the "townspeople" led 3-1, but conceded two goals in the end and lost 2:3. Ahead of the second leg in Madrid, and the chances of continuing the fight in the main European club tournament are not too great.
In the Premier League, given the numerous failures, the chances of the title are only theoretical, as the gap from the leading Liverpool is 16 points. Moreover, even finishing in the top 4 is questionable, since by the start of the 25th round, Josep Guardiola's team is in fifth place and two points behind Chelsea. At the same time, today's opponent Newcastle is behind us, which has the same number of points as Manchester City.
In the last round of the Premier League, the "citizens" in London suffered a crushing defeat 1:5 from Arsenal. The opponent used almost all the created chances, and the City defense once again showed itself from the worst side. The newcomers, including Marmush, have not fully adapted yet. Manchester City have signed Porto player Nico Gonzalez. Overall, we have managed to significantly strengthen the squad and close problematic positions, but it is far from certain that all new players will fit into Guardiola's tactical schemes.
Disqualifications and injuries
Rodri and Akanji are injured and will not play today. The appearance of Bobb and Grealish on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In four of the last five matches, Manchester City have not won in the first half.

Provisional squad: Ederson – Lewis, Ake, Dias, Guardiola – Kovacic, Silva – Foden, De Bruyne, Marmos – Holland.
Newcastle United
EnglandCurrent form
Newcastle had a strong winning streak in the Premier League in December and the first half of January, but a slight decline followed. In the last three rounds, the Magpies have suffered two defeats, both on their own field and from far from top opponents: Brighton (1:4) and Fulham (1:2). In between these setbacks, there was a confident away win over Southampton with a score of 3:1. With 41 points in the asset, the team is in sixth place by the start of the 25th round, Manchester City is only behind fifth in additional indicators, and Chelsea is two points behind fourth.
This season, Eddie Howe's players are delighting their fans in home cup tournaments. In the League Cup, they won 4-0 against Arsenal and reached the final, where they will face Liverpool. In the FA Cup in the 1/16 finals, Newcastle had some problems dealing with Birmingham 3-2 on the road.
It should be noted that the Magpies are in the top 5 in the Premier League in terms of points scored in away matches. The team has 21 points on the road – only three defeats in 12 matches played.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lascelles, Barnes and Joellinton will not play due to injuries. The appearance of Botman, Byrne and Gordon on the field is questionable, as the players were injured in the last game.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last five matches, Newcastle have won in the first half.
- Newcastle have not played a draw in the Premier League in the last ten matches - seven wins and three draws.
- At least three goals were scored in 10 of the Magpies' 11 previous Premier League matches.

Approximate composition: Dubravka – Livramento, Cher, Hall – Trippier, Guimaraes, Tonali, Longstaff – Murphy, Isak, Willock.

Tip and bets
Manchester City is too unstable and unpredictable now to be able to believe in Guardiola's team and make a bold and confident bet on the victory of the reigning champion. The "citizens" have a difficult battle with Real Madrid, the return game is ahead, while Newcastle had much more time to prepare for the upcoming battle, which could play a key role in the fight for a place in the top 4. The Magpies won six matches in a row on the road, taking into account all tournaments, and they are unlikely to leave Manchester today without scoring points. We believe that the guests are able to take advantage of the enemy's far from optimal form and, first of all, defensive failures.
Our forecast is that Newcastle will not lose by a factor of 1.86
Bet on the total
Manchester City regularly makes defensive mistakes, uncertainly plays the end of matches, but everything is very good in attack. Newcastle are able to take advantage of the opponent's problems, but it's very difficult to win back at the Etihad. We are waiting for a productive game.
The second bet is a total of more than three goals with a coefficient of 1.70
Combined bid
Taking into account our expectations of a non-loss to Newcastle, it would be logical to pay attention to a combined bet with a high coefficient that the Magpies will not lose today and more than two goals will be scored in the match. This bet was successful in three of Newcastle's four previous away matches.
The forecast is that Newcastle will not lose and the total is more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 3.10
