There is Friday night English Premier League action to look forward to and we take a look at the game between Newcastle United and Manchester City from a betting angle.
Newcastle are currently sitting 16th on the log and they won 4-2 at Leicester last time out and are now assured of English Premier League action next season. Their home form has been a touch mediocre of late and they have only won 1 of their last 5 and Newcastle home games have been fairly high scoring, averaging 3 goals each and if you backed over 2.5 goals in each of their home games you would have made a profit in 11 of the 17 matches.
Manchester City are the new English Premier League Champions despite going down 2-1 at home to Chelsea last time out. They have only lost 5 matches all season, but 3 of those defeats have come in their last 8 games as they have been stretched with European and domestic cup action.
City have the best away record in the League, losing just once and winning 13 of their 17 matches and they have taken a full 30 points from their last 10 away trips. Looking at goal stats in City away games the matches have averaged 2.5 goals each with just 7 of the 17 games reaching the 3 goal mark.
Manchester City won the reverse fixture 2-0 earlier this season and goals generally flow between these sides and last season this fixture finished 2-2.

Newcastle United 11/1
Draw 5/1
Manchester City 2/7
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 13/10
City have been more workmanlike than in previous seasons and haven't had many runaway victories, but looking at the head-to-head stats between these sides we can expect goals on Friday night and with over 2.5 goals trading a bit short for me at 11/20, I will stick my head out and go with 4 goals or more in the game.
Additional Bet: Correct Score Newcastle 1, City 3 at 37/4
