Opta's Supercomputer has provided its forecast for the upcoming match between Newcastle United and Manchester City in the Premier League scheduled for Saturday, January 13, 2024.
In Saturday's evening fixture, the Magpies will host Pep Guardiola's side. St James' Park has been a relatively strong fortress, with Newcastle holding the third-best home record in the 2023-24 Premier League. However, their away record is the second-worst, only behind Sheffield United.
Despite the Magpies' impressive home form, winning 82.8% of their points at home this season (24 out of 29), which is the fifth-highest proportion in a single Premier League season, they enter this game on a three-game losing streak in the league.
On the other hand, City have stabilized after a defensive lapse in mid-December, securing five consecutive wins, including the Club World Cup. A victory in this match would propel them to second place, just two points behind leaders Liverpool.
Considering Newcastle have won only one of their last 32 Premier League games against City (with 5 draws and 26 losses), the supercomputer favors Pep Guardiola's side as the significant favorites at 55.2%.
Supercomputer's prediction for Newcastle United vs Manchester City
- Newcastle win - 19.4%
- Draw - 25.4%
- Manchester City win - 55.2%
