Aston Villa vs Newcastle Bet Builder Tips
Our Bet Builder for Aston Villa vs Newcastle is Both Teams to Score, McGinn to be Carded & Asensio 2+ Shots on Target.
At the time of publishing it is a best price of 24/1 with Unibet.
- Both teams have been in strong attacking form. Aston Villa have scored in their last 15 matches across all competitions, including a 3-2 win over PSG in the Champions League. Newcastle have been prolific, scoring nine goals in their last two games (4-1 vs. Manchester United, 5-0 vs. Crystal Palace).
- John McGinn is a physical midfielder who thrives in tough battles, averaging 2.14 fouls won per game but also committing fouls regularly. He’s likely to be up against Newcastle’s creative midfield (Guimarães, Tonali), which could lead to tactical fouls. McGinn has committed at least one foul in 70% of his starts this season, and with Newcastle’s Bruno Guimarães drawing 3.61 fouls per 90 minutes, this selection has value.
- Asensio has 2+ shots on target in 3 of his last five appearances in the league (including two 25 minute games). He will likely get a good amount of game time with players needing to be rested from their midweek game.
