In the 6th round of the English Premier League on September 28, 2025, Newcastle United will face Arsenal. The visitors are coming for a win, but the hosts are no less ambitious.
Our Prediction for Newcastle United vs Arsenal
The team from St. James' Park had an excellent last season. They returned to the Champions League, albeit with some luck (finishing fifth, level on points with Aston Villa), and also won a trophy, the League Cup. However, the summer was dominated by the Isak saga. Eventually, the striking Swede was sold for a huge sum, and replacements were only signed close to the deadline. Incidentally, a goal from one of the new signings, Woltemade, secured the first Premier League win, only in September. But against Bournemouth, they were held to a goalless draw. Before that, in the Champions League against Barcelona, it was clear they were aiming for a draw, but twice let Rashford through and lost. This week in the League Cup against Bradford, they bounced back with a resounding 4-1 win.
The capital giants finished second again last season. But unlike previous title races with City, they had no real chances for the title in the spring, lagging well behind Liverpool. Moreover, they lost to Liverpool again late in the summer, despite all their reinforcements. The rest of their matches, however, were victories, including against Atletico in the Champions League. In the previous round, they snatched a draw against Manchester City in the dying moments. This week, they put in a "grandmaster" 2-0 win against Port Vale in the League Cup.
Tonali and his teammates score and concede an average of 0.6 per game. Their opponents currently have stronger stats, both in attack (2.0 goals per game) and in defense (conceding 0.4 per game).
