Key factors

What will decide this match?

Home advantage first, then expected goals and the factor with the most influence on this match.

  1. Home advantage

    Edge: Man City

    Man City are the stronger side and at home, which our model values at just over a fifth of a goal. Both advantages add up.

  2. Expected goals

    Edge: Even

    At 2.8 expected goals, the 2.5 line is close to 50/50 (52% for the over).

  3. Quality gap

    Edge: Man City

    Man City rate clearly higher and the draw is only 21%. If they score first, the match should go their way.

Team set-up

How will the two teams line up?

Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Manchester City

Man City have a squad deep enough to challenge for the title. They squeeze opponents at Etihad Stadium, so Newcastle will need a disciplined low block to stay in the game.

Away

Newcastle United

Newcastle are organised and hard to break down, and they usually get results on their trip to Etihad Stadium by winning the midfield.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.

  • If Man City name a weakened XI

    Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.

  • If Newcastle score first

    The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.

  • If a red card comes in the first hour

    Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.

Preview
