Get predictions, team news and betting tips for the Premier League match between Aston Villa and Newcastle United on Saturday 19th April (5:30pm BST).
Tip 1
Three of the last five meetings between this pair have met this line – all of which have been under the supervision of Unai Emery and Eddie Howe – with the other two games falling just short when seeing three goals in each.
Newcastle’s last two games have seen five goals in each, while each of Villa’s last six have produced at least three, with both UCL ties versus PSG meeting this goals line.
The hosts have hit form at the crucial time, however, they still have more to give in front of goal it seems as their xG of 56.89 leaves them 8.89 short of their actual goals tally (48). They’ve netted three in four of the last six and scored in 15 consecutive matches to give you a flavour of just how competitive they’re being.
Howe’s men are the third-highest scorers in the division on 59 behind only Liverpool and City, which has been largely spurred by the fitness and return of key attackers.
Lastly, Villa league matches average 2.97 goals, with this figure only being reduced to 2.88 at home, while Newcastle’s are set at 3.16, with that figure only dropping slightly to 2.94 on away trips.

Tip 2
After landing a 22/1 winner inside 55 minutes on Newcastle’s latest outing, I’m aiming for consecutive longshot successes with this 8/1 double.
Jacob Murphy might not be the most glamorous footballer in the eyes of most but you can’t argue with his output. He’s contributed 9G and 13A this term, providing at least one in each of his last four and in 14/29 PL matches.
On the other foot, Morgan Rogers delights both neutrals and Villa fans alike with his excellent ball-carrying abilities and devastating final product. In his first full season at Villa the 22 year old has 26 goal involvements, supplying a goal or assist in nine of his last 14.
It’s also worth placing this bet with Paddy Power as you’ll get only half the odds elsewhere.

Despite a valiant effort and a truly memorable evening at Villa Park on Tuesday, the hosts’ 3-2 win over Paris Saint-Germain was not enough to see them through to the semi-finals of Europe’s premier competition.
AVFC should have a clean bill of health for this fixture, with Ross Barkley making an appearance from the bench in the second leg against PSG on Tuesday, while Leon Bailey should also come back into contention.
Aston Villa Predicted XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne; Kamara, Tielemans, Rogers, McGinn, Rashford; Watkins.
As if Newcastle’s current form wasn’t concerning enough for those involved in the race for Champions League football, the Magpies dismantled another of the division’s most dignified teams right now in Crystal Palace to the tune of 5-0 at St James’ Park on Wednesday.
Eddie Howe is still recovering from the affects of pneumonia and so his assistant Jason Tindall will once again lead the team, with a fully fit squad to choose from outside of long-term absentees Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles and Lewis Hall.
Newcastle Predicted XI: Pope; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Livramento; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Barnes.
