Ahead of the only Boxing Day Premier League game on Friday, we’ve got a Manchester United vs Newcastle betting tip that has seen a 86% return in the last SEVEN League H2H’s.

Manchester United vs Newcastle – The Only Premier League Game On Boxing

It’s not often you get just one Premier League game on Boxing Day, but with the way the fixture calendar has fallen this season – this is exactly what’s happening this year.

The two sides that will have to watch what they eat on Christmas Day are Manchester United and Newcastle, but at least they are not kicking-off till 8pm.

It’s also a tricky game for betting punters to unravel as both these sides are not the forces they’ve been in the past.

Good on their day, but also two very unpredictable sides, which is why the pressure has never really off Ruben Amorim in the next Manchester United manager betting odds market.

This is backed up with United coming here off a 2-1 loss to Villa last weekend.

While despite Newcastle holding Chelsea to a 2-2 draw – the Magpies have also only won one of their last four in all competitions.

United will also be without their captain, as the latest Bruno Fernandes injury news suggest he’ll miss up to six games after getting a hamstring knock in their last game against Villa.

So, let’s see if there any Man Utd vs Newcastle stats that will give us an angle into this Boxing Day clash.

United Have Won Just 50% Of Their Home League Games This Season

Carrying on from the theme of this game being a tough one to call for betting fans.

United have only one 50% of their eight home league games this season.

Which at the start of Gameweek 18, sees the Red Devils in only 13th in the home table.

Plus also have a goal difference at Old Trafford of only +4.

Newcastle Still Looking For Only Second Away League Win

United, however, might be pleased they are taking on a Newcastle side that are having their struggles this season too in the league.

They are only 11th with 23 points – but the bulk of these have come at home, with five wins from eight.

In contrast, on their travels Newcastle have only recorded one away league win, which came with a 4-1 win over Everton in November.

All this has plonked more pressure on boss Eddie Howe with the next Newcastle manager betting odds market one of the most active at the moment.

Another loss on the road here and the vultures might start circling again.

Match Odds – Man Utd vs Newcastle

Man Utd – 6/4
Draw – 5/2
Newcastle – 13/8

75% Of The Last Eight H2H’s At Old Trafford Saw OVER 2.5 GOALS

One Manchester United vs Newcastle betting tip option could be to delve into the Overs/Unders market.

This is because the stats tell us that six of the last eight repeat fixtures saw OVER 2.5 GOALS.

Yes, last year this clash was 2-0 to Newcastle – but we had a five goal thriller in the 2023/24 season (3-2 to United).

And, as mentioned, if we go back further – then 75% of the last eight meetings at Old Trafford in the league also produced 3+ total goals.

This can be backed again at 4/6 for Over 2.5 Goals.

Newcastle Have Scored in ALL Of Their Last Six Against United

The stats also tell us that Man Utd are going to struggle to keep a clean sheet against Newcastle on Boxing Day.

Why?

Well, Newcastle have found the back of the net in ALL of their last SIX matches against United.

The last time United shut out the Magpies was in their League Cup Final 2-0 win in 2023.

Manchester United vs Newcastle Betting Tip With 86% Return In Last Seven H2H’s

So, what is the big 86% Manchester United vs Newcastle betting tip in the headline?

Okay, the odds here are not going to make you rich, but this option could be used in a Man Utd vs Newcastle bet builder, or acca to help boost up the odds.

In short – over the last seven league H2H’s, Newcastle have ONLY LOST ONE.

This came in this fixture two seasons ago with a 3-2 United win.

But Newcastle have won four of their last seven league games over United and drawn two.

Which means we could play this bet to carry on in the DOUBLE CHANCE market – siding with Newcastle/Draw at 4/7.

Yes, not massive odds, but the recent H2H stats tell us Newcastle often do well facing United and so maybe this could be a bet to get some more Saturday 27th Premier League betting tips rolling.
