Top 2 Arsenal vs Newcastle Bets for May 18

1. Newcastle to win (+274)

The penultimate week of the Premier League season is jam-packed with tantalizing Premier League matchups—from Chelsea vs Manchester United to Aston Villa vs Tottenham to Manchester City vs Bournemouth – but make no mistake: The marquee fixture will take place at the Emirates Stadium. Newcastle need to win in order to leapfrog Arsenal into second place, and we’re backing them to do just that.

Apart from a 4-0 win at relegated Ipswich Town, Arsenal haven’t won in the Premier League since April 1 when they beat Fulham 2-1, per EPL betting tips. Since that win vs. Ipswich, Arsenal have drawn 2-2 to Crystal Palace, lost 1-0 to Paris Saint-Germain and 2-1 to Bournemouth – all at home before losing 2-1 at PSG and missing out on a trip to their first UEFA Champions League Final since 2006.

They looked set for yet another defeat as Liverpool scored twice within a minute, only for Arsenal to storm back in the second half and secure a 2-2 draw at Anfield. Whilst Arsenal have failed to win in their last five matches, Newcastle enter the match on the back of eight wins in their last 10 matches.

They sit third in the table, two points behind Arsenal, one above Manchester City, and three above Chelsea and Aston Villa, and we’re backing them to ascend to second place with a victory in London. We’re backing Eddie Howe’s Magpies to beat Mikel Arteta’s Gunners for the fourth straight time in our Premier League predictions.

If Newcastle win their last two Premier League games, they will finish 2nd in the league this season. ✅✅

Couple that with the Carabao Cup trophy and Eddie Howe is arguably the manager of the season in England. 🎖️ pic.twitter.com/d80WzoLIxW

2. Alexander Isak to Score (+175)

Four of the last five meetings between these two sides have ended in a Newcastle win. In November, Newcastle prevailed 1-0 at St. James’ Park courtesy of Alexander Isak’s goal. Two months later, they won 2-0 at Arsenal via goals from Isak and Anthony Gordon before winning 2-0 in the second leg to secure their passage to the EFL Cup Final, where they defeated Liverpool to claim their first major domestic trophy in 70 years.

With 27 goals and six assists in 41 appearances, Isak has staked his claim as one of the top center forwards in world football this season, and we’re backing him to exploit an Arsenal side that has conceded 2+ goals in four of their last five matches. We’re backing Isak to lead Newcastle to victory in our Premier League player props.
