Manchester City vs Newcastle United Match Preview

Manchester City faces Newcastle United at Etihad Stadium for the Boxing Day of the English Premier League.

The hosts are the big favorites to win here, however, the offered odds for them are ridiculous, considering the ups and downs City has this season, currently ranked at the 8th spot of the table. Manchester City's campaign is not at all impressive this season, having 6 wins 5 draws, and 2 defeats so far, so it's quite a risky betting on them to win at this moment. They face a lot of problems on their front line, with 19 goals scored so far they are the 11th best attack in the Premier League.

Newcastle, on the other hand, is ranked at the 12th spot of the league table, 5 points below today's opponent. The visitors will travel to Manchester to play under a very defensive formation, trying to get on the counter something positive out of this match. The team is counting a lot to Callum Wilson, who continues to be on excellent form, having scored 8 goals after 12 rounds played on the road.

As I mentioned earlier, City are the favorites in today's match, but the huge priced odds at 24.00 for Newcastle United to win are more than tempting here, based on the performance of the two sides.

It's rather expected in the Premier League matches of Boxing day to bring a lot of drama, and Newcastle United could make the miracle this year, beating Man City on the road.
