Newcastle vs Man City betting

The three way fight for the two remaining Champions League places is really heating up. With Newcastle kicking off slightly earlier than their competitors, they know they can steal a march and put a serious dent in Man City's title bid. After completing a fantastic win away at Chelsea in midweek, the magpies will be high on confidence and odds of 5.0 from Betfred are showing some great value. Papiss Cisse scored two fantastic goals in midweek, and the striker has bagged an unbelievable 12 goals in 13 games since January. With these stats, a whopping 8.5 is looking an absolute steal at Paddy Power for Cisse to score the opening goal of the game. The Magpies home games have produced an average of 2.4 goals, so betting on under 2.5 goals with 2.1 available from William Hill is also looking like a safe bet.

Manchester City secured a huge win on Monday night when they overtook their local rivals Man United to claim top spot in the Premier League. It's been a remarkable turnaround for the Citizens, who looked dead and buried only a few weeks ago. Nevertheless, they face a tough challenge on Sunday against a strong Newcastle team. City are firm favourites going into the game, but there's no real value in an away win. Instead a correct score prediction of 2-1 is looking great value with 9.0 available from Stan James. Sergio Aguero and Carlos Tevez have formed a deadly partnership in recent matches, and betting on either to score at any time is showing good value with 2.38 available from Skybet.

Match Prediciton

With so much at stake here for both teams, it could well become a tight and tense affair on Sunday lunchtime that could be decided by a moment of brilliance. Both teams have players in their team capable of hurting the other, and Hatem Ben Arfa and Samir Nasri have both been in good form recently. Nevertheless, with City knowing the title is back in their own hands that should give them enough to go on and take all three points.
