Arsenal tipped for 14th league victory at St. James’ Park

The perception is that this is an enormously difficult fixture for Arsenal. Newcastle’s comeback in the 4-4 draw and a 2-0 demolition back in May 2022 spring to mind. 

In reality,Arsenal have a strong grip on this fixture. They’ve triumphed in eight of their last 10 head-to-head encounters with Newcastle at St. James’ Park. That includes a 2-0 victory earlier this year. A goal either side of halftime sealed three points for the Gunners back in May. 

In fact, the Gunners have claimed 13 wins at the renowned stadium, just one win shy of Manchester United’s record of 14 wins.

Of course, this Newcastle side is very different from the one Arsenal have dispatched so easily down the years. Still, the stats make for grim reading for Newcastle fans. The Magpies have found the net in just one of their last 10 matches against the Gunners in all competitions.

Mikel Arteta’s men are tipped as favourites in this match but not by much. They look good value in equalling that record of 14 league wins at St. James Park.

Nketiah to find the back of the net

The 24-year-old England forward was the star of the show last time out as he netted a hat-trick in Arsenal’s 5-0 bashing of Sheffield United.

Even with restricted playing time, Nketiah leads the scoring for Arsenal this season. The Gunners’ number 14 has bagged five Premier League goals for them. He’s never shy about shooting, averaging 2.4 efforts on goal per match. That’s the most of any Arsenal player. He’s historically been quite a streaky player so it’s worth backing Nketiah after he’s just scored. 

The only downside is that none of these goals were scored away from home. However, as Nketiah will be expected to lead the Gunners attack once again in the absence of Gabriel Jesus, he is a solid bet to net his first goal on the road this season.

An outflow of goals

This high-profile match suggests a result with a high goal tally. 

Arsenal have scored 28 goals in their last 11 league games, while Newcastle are the joint-highest scorers in the league this season with 26 goals along with Aston Villa.

This hasn’t historically been a high-scoring fixture. NG has landed in each of their last 10 meetings in all competitions. 

However, the fixture at St. James’ Park last season was quite open at times. Newcastle generated 1.37 xG in the game and had a penalty overruled by VAR. It wouldn’t be a surprise if this match is just as open as that was at times. 

Stats indicate that the last five matches for each team have produced three or more goals.  This implies that the upcoming Saturday evening game is a highly favoured prediction with attractive odds.
