Aston Villa Prediction
Unai Emery’s side came close to pulling off a miracle comeback against PSG. Although they won 3–2 at home, it wasn’t enough to overturn the Champions League quarterfinal tie. Despite the elimination, they received a rousing ovation from their fans for making it into the competition’s final eight.
Now, it’s time to turn the page and look ahead. Sitting seventh in the Premier League table, Villa is just one point away from fifth place—a spot that secures a ticket to next season’s Champions League and offers a shot at redemption.
Their four-game winning streak is further proof of a solid team built from the back, anchored by World Cup champion Emiliano Martínez, widely regarded as one of the top goalkeepers in the planet. The squad boasts depth across all lines, featuring internationally experienced players such as Ezri Konsa, Ollie Watkins, and Marcus Rashford.
The Villans come into this matchup with no new injuries and nearly a full squad available. Leon Bailey and Ross Barkley returned in the previous game after recovering from knocks.
Newcastle Prediction
The Magpies are enjoying a dream season. They lifted their first major domestic trophy since 1955 by beating Liverpool 2–1 in the 2025 EFL Cup final, and they currently sit third in the Premier League. If they maintain that position, it would match their best-ever league result, achieved in the 1993/94 campaign.
Arsenal, four points ahead, will likely shift its focus to the Champions League after knocking out Real Madrid to reach the semifinals. That makes a second-place finish well within reach for a Newcastle side riding a five-game winning streak.
The architect of this success is manager Eddie Howe. He’s built a well-balanced squad led by a midfield trio of Joelinton, Sandro Tonali, and Bruno Guimaraes—arguably the best in the league. Up top, Alexander Isak has been electric, scoring 21 goals—matching Erling Haaland and trailing only Mohamed Salah’s 27.
Lewis Hall, Sven Botman, and Jamaal Lascelles are ruled out for this match. Manager Howe will also be absent, as he’s recovering in the hospital after being diagnosed with pneumonia.
Aston Villa vs. Newcastle Picks
This clash features two of the Premier League’s hottest teams. Since the start of 2025, Newcastle has earned 27 points (tied with Arsenal and just behind Liverpool), while Aston Villa sits right behind with 25.
All signs point toward a goal-filled clash. Over 2.5 goals has hit in each of the last five meetings between these sides, averaging four goals per game.
Villa’s last four matches have averaged three goals, while Newcastle has been dominant on the road—winning five straight away games with a combined score of 15-2.
To add more value in a Same Game Parlay, I’m backing Isak to stay hot. The Swedish striker has scored the game-winner in eight matches this season and continues to attract attention from Europe’s elite clubs.
