Manchester City vs Newcastle Prediction, Picks for Feb 15: Bet on Goal Barrage

After losing to Real Madrid in the Champions League, Man City takes on Newcastle on Saturday in one of the most anticipated fixtures of the round. Let’s preview the game and make some Premier League expert soccer picks.

Manchester City comes into this match with a mix of form, capturing wins against top-tier teams but struggling in recent outings. Their performance against Real Madrid in the Champions League saw them narrowly fall short with a 3-2 loss.

This setback followed a commanding 3-1 victory over Chelsea, illustrating their inconsistent form. Standing fifth in the Premier League, City’s ambition is unmistakable, but they need to tighten their defense as the 48 goals conceded highlight vulnerabilities.

Newcastle has been a revelation this season, sitting at sixth place with an identical point tally as City, thanks to impressive wins like the 2-0 vanquishing of Arsenal. Their 71% win rate over the past month speaks volumes of their upward trajectory in the league.

They have been scoring well as of late. They have scored 18 goals in the last six games in EPL play, per Man City vs Newcastle stats. Meanwhile, Newcastle has won four straight road games in EPL play, scoring 11 goals in the process.

Further, Manchester City has seen both teams score in a game in 71 percent of their EPL games while Newcastle has seen both teams score in 58 percent of their games.

If you’re looking for a great bet to include in your soccer picks and parlays, back a high-scoring affair with at least four goals on the scoresheet.

3. Best Player Prop Bet: Alexander Isak to Score (+150)

Man City’s defensive issues will be the music to the ears of Alexander Isak. The Swedish forward scored 17 goals in 22 Premier League matches so far in the season.

He is +150 to score anytime against the leaky and out-of-form Man City defense on Saturday. If you’re looking for great soccer player props, back Isak to find the back of the net against Man City.

Bet This Pick: Alexander Isak (+150)
