Arsenal vs Newcastle Prediction & Betting Tips (18 May)

For a long time to fight with Liverpool for the title, Arsenal finally dropped from the ballast during the second half of the season. The London formation had to deal with several important injuries and had trouble chaining the matches of the Premier League and the Champions League. Two days before the end of the championship, the Gunners occupied the 2nd row of the ranking with 5 points ahead of 6th place. They must therefore still be used to qualify in the Champions League. In slow motion for a few weeks, Mikel Arteta's men have pocketed only one victory in the last 6 days, for 4 draws and 1 defeat. After bowing, at home, against Bournemouth 1-2, they took a point with the Liverpool champion last weekend 2-2. Between these two results, Arsenal let out his last hopes against PSG in the Champions League semi-finals 1-3 at the end of the round-trip matches.

Desireux to find the Champions League next year, Newcastle is currently 3rd in the Premier League and has 3 points ahead of 6th place. The band at Eddie Howe has been following good results since March. This has notably materialized by a League Cup final won against Liverpool just before the last international truce 2-1. In the league, the Magpies ended a beautiful series of 5 victories by bowing on the lawn of Aston Villa 4-1. They resumed their march forward thereafter. Held in check at Brighton 1-1, Newcastle otherwise took over on Ipswich 3-0 and Chelsea last weekend 2-0.

Arsenal always deplores the packages of tauliers Gabriel and Havertz, the attacker usually replacing Gabriel Jesus and the defender for a long time Tomiyasu. Scorer on the last day, the Spanish international Mikel Merino (7 goals and 2 PL passes) was however expelled. It is therefore suspended this weekend. Absent on the last day, the Rice framework (3 goals and 7 PL passes) is back. The offensive trio could still be composed of Saka (6 goals and 10 PL passes), Trossard (8 goals and 6 PL passes) and Martinelli (8 goals and 4 PL passes). The latter found the net in Liverpool.

Of Newcastle side, the call is interested in the interest in the left side Hall and the defender replacing Targett, injured. The return to the land of the defender passed by Lille Botman pushed Eddie Howe to modify his tactical scheme by going to 3 defenders last weekend. The coach could continue on this path, especially as it allows offensives Murphy (8 goals and 12 PL passes), Barnes (9 goals and 4 PL passes), Isak (23 goals and 6 PL passes) and Gordon (6 goals and 5 PL passes) to play at the same time. Faced with Chelsea, it was the essential Bruno Guimaraes (5 goals and 6 PL) and Tonali (4 goals and 2 PL) media that have scored to allow Newcastle to win.
