The only game of today in the EPL is Newcastle-Aston Villa. Newcastle are only 1 point ahead of the relegation area and they are in a big danger of relegating. They got really bad results in their last 4 games. Aston Villa on the other hand are not in such situation but they have also the possibility to be able to qualify for the EL as they are 8 points away from West Ham. But considering their recent form, it looks really difficult. In this season, Aston Villa beat Newcastle 2-0. But there is a really interesting thing that Aston Villa haven't beaten Newcastle away since 2005.
I wonder whether they will manage to stop their bad luck in this.
today's game is very unpredictable, aston villa in the last games cannot score more than 1 goal and newcastle is also in a similar situation, cannot win and score many goals, i think i will bet under 2.5 goals, because i predict that i can it will be a game where there will not be many goals, and I hope that at least I will come out with some profit in this very unpredictable game
Aston villa going to europa looks like a lot less possible compared to Newcastle not dropping. So, I doubt that Villa players will be fighting hard to get to europa, but they will be basically playing thinking they are playing a lesser team, hence it will be easier for them because Villa is clearly the better team of the two.
However that doesn't change the fact that from motivation stand point, I see Newcastle as fighting a lot harder, they have to win some games to stay, they can't just lose to all teams except few teams under them, and this one looks like a possible one. I would still gamble on Villa if I wagered on that game, not because motivations but because Villa is a lot better if you ask me, and odds will provide the same thing as well, maybe it is closer than people imagined but it is still obvious that Villa could easily win this match.
the game has already started and Newcastle is playing very well, there were some occasions that they could have used to score a goal and aston villa's defense managed to defend themselves very well, if the game stays at that pace then the game could end in a draw and that definitely and something good for me because I could get away with profit in this game
Newcastle United are in need of more points in order to move further away from the relegation zone, but I guess it will not be an easy task for Newcastle United to beat Aston Villa today, the odds payout for this match to ends up with a draw is @3.30 and I think there is a high chance for this match to ends up with a draw at the final whistle today.
the first half of the game is over with a draw, we will see the other half of the game if the result will change
