Reason for Manchester City vs Newcastle Predictions
Manchester City started the season with a visit to last season’s champions Burnley and achieved a convincing 3-0 victory. Manchester City star Erling Haaland continued where he left off last season, scoring two goals in the first half, while Rodri also scored in the second half. Saturday’s match is the first of the new season that Pep Guardiola’s team will play in front of their fans since winning the FA Cup and the Champions League, and the Etihad will be full of fun this weekend. Manchester City have won seven of their last eight matches against Newcastle, drawing the other, and will be confident of extending that record on Saturday. Jack Grealish is the engine of this team, he goes through the opponent’s defense like a fast train, has excellent ball control, and the English international can be satisfied with his performance. Josko Guardiol arrived as the biggest reinforcement in the transfer window for as much as 90 million, he is one of the best defenders in the world. Pep Guardiola seeks responsibility in every game, it doesn’t matter who the opponent is, the players have to do their best, which is why he is one of the best coaches in the world. Zack Steffen (Knee Surgery) and Kevin De Bruyne (Muscle partial avulsion) aren’t available for Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.
Newcastle will aim to spoil Manchester City’s party on Saturday after an impressive 5-1 first-round win over Aston Villa. New signing Sandro Tonali scored after five minutes on his Newcastle debut, before Alexander Isak provided a phenomenal assist for his team-mate, while Callum Wilson and another new signing, Harvey Barnes, scored late on from the bench. The Magpies have not secured a victory when playing away against Manchester City since 2000, and Guardiola has beaten Howe in 11 of 12 managerial meetings. Sean Longstaff plays well in the middle of the park, and he does not allow the opponent much action. Anthony Gordon plays excellently, he is fast in the one-on-one game, and he is unstoppable. Due to a fully healthy group ready to go, Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe doesn’t have any fitness worries to report ahead of this game.
Conclusion
Manchester City is the favorite in this match, the Etihad has been an impregnable fortress for many opponents for years, Guardiola knows how to win derby matches.
This will be a big fight between these two rivals, and we should expect a goal from both teams. Football fans should enjoy this match and see at least a goal in each net.
