At 03:00 on May 16, Beijing time, the 34th round of the Premier League ushered in a make-up match, with Manchester United playing Newcastle at home. The two sides will have a fierce fight to enter the European competition next season. At present, Newcastle has 3 points more points than Manchester United. Newcastle is ranked sixth and Manchester United is ranked eighth. The official score of the game is 2.47 (win), 3.85 (draw) and 2.11 (lose). Newcastle away from home is slightly optimistic and is expected to remain unbeaten.
In the last round, Manchester United lost 1-0 at home to Arsenal in two consecutive league matches, setting an embarrassing record of 14 defeats in a single season in the Premier League. In addition, the regular time of nearly 10 events was only 1 win, and the defeated opponent was Sheffield United, which ranked at the bottom. The Red Devils were in a very low state. The average goal loss in 10 matches is 2.2, and the defence is extremely unstable. It is worth mentioning that in the top eight of the championship, only Manchester United's goal difference is negative, and there is a big problem in the balance of attack and defense. In terms of the lineup, as many as 11 people were injured, and Tenghage fell into the situation of no one to use.
Newcastle were drawn 1-1 by Brighton in the last round, with the same score as the 7th Chelsea behind them. It is under certain pressure to enter the European game next season. At the pre match press conference, coach Eddie Howe encouraged the team to show good performance in the away game against Manchester United and lock the European seat as soon as possible. With two rounds left in the league, Newcastle scored 22 goals in goal difference. Compared with other rivals Chelsea and Manchester United, Newcastle has an absolute advantage and the players' morale is better. Tripier, the core of the defence, came back as a substitute in the last round and is expected to start this game to improve the quality of the team's defence.
The official figures of 2.47 (win), 3.85 (draw), and 2.11 (negative) for the match were given, and Newcastle were optimistic about their invincibility. Newcastle have won 3, tied 2 and lost 5 in the last 10 matches against Manchester United, but they have won all the last three matches and won nothing. Compared with the Red Devils' six power forwards who scored 24 goals together, Magpie's center Isaac scored 20 goals alone. Manchester United's poor rear defense may not limit the play of the forward bully.
Among the odds, Newcastle lost 8.75 out of 1 when it won 2-1 away, followed by 9.5 out of 1 when it drew 1-1 and 2-2. To sum up, Newcastle is expected to leave home, or beat Manchester United 2-1 to continue to take the initiative in the European war. The Red Devils may hope to beat Manchester City in the FA Cup to win the European qualification next season.
