Manchester United vs Newcastle United 15.05.2024 Prediction: Premier League

Match Overview

Manchester United host Newcastle United at Old Trafford in a match in the Premier League on 15 May, Wednesday soon after their disappointing showing against Arsenal on Sunday. Newcastle will be filled to the brim with confidence given how poor United have been of late. United will want to make sure that they get to at least draw this game to save face.

Key Highlights 

One must not forget that United have been extremely poor this season and are ranked 12th in goals scored per match (1.4 goals). What will worry their manager Erik ten Hag is that they haven't scored in their last 2 matches. However, Portuguese maestro Bruno Fernandes is ranked 2nd in big chances created in the competition (20).

Injury Report

United have a lot of their top players including Anthony Martial, Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire among others missing out while for Newcastle, Fabian Schar, Joseph Willock and Matt Targett may not be available.

Prediction

Newcastle have done better than their hosts have this season and are ranked 4th in goals scored per match (2.2 goals). Newcastle United have won the previous 3 matches against Manchester United. Callum Wilson has the most shots on target per match for Newcastle United (1.9). The visitors are the favourites to win this game, and we expect them to do so.
