Manchester United vs Newcastle Premier League Prediction Match Details
The last game of 2024 will see Manchester United welcome Newcastle United to the Old Trafford Stadium. Ruben Amorim is breaking the wrong side of the record, but can his men end 2024 with a win against top-four-chasing Magpies?
Manchester United Preview & Form
Manchester United fans continue to endure tough stats even after changing their head coach, as United are struggling down in the bottom half of the Premier League at the moment. Life under the reign of Ruben Amorim has been difficult, as since arriving in the Old Trafford dugout, Amorim has seen his side suffer five defeats across all competitions in December. Their only win in the festive month was a 2-1 win in the Manchester Derby, and since then, they have been beaten by Bournemouth at Old Trafford and also lost 2-1 to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Boxing Day. Ruben Amorim’s men were also dumped out of the Carabao Cup by Tottenham Hotspur. Currently, United are sitting 14th in the league standings with 22 points, seven points adrift of European competitions.
Ruben Amorim has lost their last two successive matches at Old Trafford, with the most recent being an embarrassing 3-0 defeat by Bournemouth for the second successive year in a row. United’s defense has now conceded six goals in a row in their last two home games. However, they have only failed to score in one of their nine league matches at Old Trafford this term.
Newcastle Preview & Form
Eddie Howe was under a bit of pressure following a couple of winless runs earlier, but the Magpies seem to have turned the table around as they push for a European spot next season. Eddie Howe’s side comes into this game on the back of a four-match winning streak in the league, with the most recent being a 3-0 dominant victory over Aston Villa at St James Park on Boxing Day. The run also sees the Magpies progress into the semi-finals of the EFL Cup by beating Brentford 3-1 in the quarterfinal. Currently, they sit fifth in the league standings with 29 points, five points behind the top four.
Newcastle United are also struggling with their away games this season, but they will look to build on their impressive 4-0 victory over Ipswich at Portman Road in their last away game. However, their attacking frontline has been consistent in front of goals, having only failed to score in one of their nine league matches on the road this term.
