When Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund bought Newcastle in 2021, the fans surely expected to see their team at the top of the Premier League in a few seasons. In the current year, Newcastle are eighth, but with only five points fewer than the fourth Nottingham Forest. After a few terrible weeks, Eddie Howe's team improved recently with three wins in a row in all competitions. In the previous game, they won 4-0 on the road against Ipswich. Newcastle's Alexander Isak scored the lead in the 1st minute, and the team never looked behind against one of the worst teams in the competition.
After a phenomenal last season and fourth position in the Premier League, Aston Villa hopes to repeat the success. This year, they have had some ups and downs but are still close to the desired fourth position. Aston Villa have played well lately, with four wins in the previous five matches. Last weekend, Unai Emery's team won 2-1 at home against Manchester City. That was another good performance that will improve the team's confidence ahead of the busy schedule around Christmas and New Year's Eve.
Newcastle vs Aston Villa pick: Over 2.5 goals
Newcastle scored 16 goals in the last five matches. On the other hand, Aston Villa scored ten goals in the previous five games. We should expect a high-scoring game on the Boxing Day afternoon in Newcastle.
