<p>Manchester United and Newcastle United will both be seeking a return to winning ways when they meet on Saturday, December 27, as part of the English Premier League festive period. Kick-off is scheduled for 07:00 AEDT.</p> <p><strong>Ruben Amorim’s</strong> team suffered defeat last time out as they were beaten by Aston Villa. It was a positive performance that didn’t deliver a positive result. What may have made it more disappointing was <strong>Bruno Fernandes's</strong> early departure after suffering an apparent muscle injury in the first half.<strong> Kobbie Mainoo</strong> was also struck down with injury in the lead-up to the game, adding further pressure on the squad.</p> <p><strong>Eddie Howe’s</strong> side held Chelsea to a 2-2 draw last time out, with <strong>Nick Woltemade</strong> scoring two goals in the first half. However, the Magpies crumbled in the second half, dropping two points.</p> <p>What will happen when these two teams meet? Read on for our Man Utd vs Newcastle betting predictions…</p> <h2>Man Utd vs Newcastle Betting Preview</h2> <p>Both teams share a similar run of form heading into Saturday’s clash against each other. Both have two wins, two draws, and a defeat over their last five games.</p> <p>United have scored 12 goals in that period, but have also conceded nine. Newcastle have scored 11 goals and conceded seven. With this kind of form being shown by both, it’s fair to assume that there will be goals in this game.</p> <p>Throw in the fact that there is only a three-point gap between the two teams in the EPL table, and we should have an intriguing game on our hands when they step out at Old Trafford.</p> <p>Still, what does the recent head-to-head between both of these sides tell us? Well, it shows Newcastle have enjoyed themselves a lot more than the Red Devils have over the last five meetings between them. Results have included:</p> <ul> <li>Newcastle 4-1 Man Utd (Apr 2025)</li> <li>Man Utd 0-2 Newcastle (Dec 2024)</li> <li>Man Utd 3-2 Newcastle (May 2024)</li> <li>Newcastle 1-0 Man Utd (Dec 2023)</li> <li>Newcastle 2-0 Man Utd (May 2023)</li> </ul> <h2>Man Utd vs Newcastle Betting Predictions</h2> <p>We’ve got the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/united-kingdom/english-premier-league/man-utd-v-newcastle-9948043">Man Utd vs Newcastle betting odds</a> available at Sportsbet already, with the odds <strong>favouring a Man Utd victory</strong>.</p> <p>However, if we’re making our Man Utd vs Newcastle betting prediction, it’s that we think this one will be a<strong> draw</strong>. We think both teams have been playing well of late and will cancel each other out. Although the Magpies have dominated the H2H, United still have something about them.</p> <p>As noted earlier, both have scored and conceded numerous goals recently. We think this is a trend that will continue in this game, which is why we’re predicting that there will be ‘<strong>Over 2.5 Goals</strong>’. To go one further, we think the ‘<strong>Yes</strong>’ in the ‘<strong>Both Teams to Score</strong>’ market will also happen.</p>
