Aston Villa vs Newcastle Prediction (16.08.2025)

Aston Villa conceded their place in the Champions League by one goal difference to Newcastle. Otherwise, the two teams exchanged home victories last season. Villa has not lost at home for a year now, and ended the campaign with eight consecutive home victories in all competitions. So far, Villa has kept their key players and even signed the promising striker from Ivory Coast, Evan Gesed. However, goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is suspended for the upcoming match.

Newcastle had a good season, marked by winning the league cup and qualifying for the Champions League. However, on the eve of the new campaign, things don't look particularly well for the team. Top scorer Alexander Isak is determined to leave and even stated that he has played his last match for the club. Meanwhile, Newcastle has been struggling to attract a potential replacement, and during the transfer window so far, many of the players linked to the team have chosen other Premier League competitors.

The situation in Newcastle does not look particularly good and it seems like chaos still reigns in assembling the team for the new season. They have not recorded a single victory in their summer friendlies. Aston Villa, on the other hand, has kept their squad intact and seems to be in better condition for the start of the season.
