The thrills of the world’s best soccer league, the Premier League, continue this week as teams set out to battle for three points on Matchday 22 of the 2023/24 season.
The battle for the top of the table is hotly contested between Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Aston Villa. Although the Reds have a 5-point lead over these three rivals, there are many rounds left to play, and anything can happen.
However, what is most surprising is that there are many teams at the top of the table, all at an excellent level of play that can stand up to even Guardiola’s City. That only proves what we have always said: the Premier League is the most competitive, complicated, and entertaining league in the world.
Now, on this matchday 22, we will have the match between Aston Villa and Newcastle.

Why Bet on Aston Villa?
Undoubtedly, Aston Villa’s season has been outstanding. The team could add many victories, which has given them a place in the top four of the ranking.
With thirteen wins, four draws, four defeats, and 43 goals for and 27 against, Aston Villa is currently fourth. However, it is appropriate to note that they share the 43 points with Manchester City and Arsenal, creating a three-way tie for second place. It is also worth mentioning that City has a game in hand.
The Villans, anxious to be alone in second place, are coming off a dismal game against Everton that ended in a goalless draw.
Why Bet on Newcastle?
On the other hand, Newcastle has been suffering a terrible string of successive defeats, which has dropped them to mid-table and left them 11 points behind Tottenham in fifth place.
With nine wins, two draws, and ten defeats, they are in tenth place. The team had a positive start to the season, scoring many goals in the first few games. However, their performance dropped, and they are currently struggling to win and have four consecutive defeats.
The Magpies can still compete for a European spot, but first, they need to get out of the current slump, and playing against Aston Villa may present challenges. Although they would gain confidence by taking all 3 points in this game, it will be challenging given how well the Villains have played this season at home.
Newcastle is coming off a 2-3 loss to Manchester City in the best game of the last Premier League matchday. They took the lead in the first half, turning the score around after Bernardo Silva’s opener. However, they suffered the same faith in the second period after a glorious display by De Bruyne as a substitute.
Final Betting Analysis: Aston Villa vs. Newcastle
Newcastle have won nine of the last twenty matches between these two teams, taking the lead in the series. In contrast, Aston Villa have four wins to their credit, while, seven matches have ended in draws. In addition, the visitors beat this rival 5-1 in the first leg of the 2023/24 edition. That game is one of the few stains in an, otherwise, outstanding period under Unai Emery.
At Gambyl Betting Exchange, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors Aston Villa at 1.97, while Newcastle starts at 5.70.
All points towards an easy win for the locals, according to the odds. However, things aren’t as simple. Paternity plays a role in many sports, and soccer is not an exception. In this sense, the Villians must face one of their ‘Bête Noire’ at a crossroads for their season. This group of players is not accustomed to fighting for the title, and it shows, as they have been letting go of points against weak rivals regularly since December.
For many experts, winter is a key period in the Premier League campaign, and shaking at this stage pretty much means game over. We believe Aston Villa will crash with another draw. Go for a 2-2.
Look for a win in the Draw’s Moneyline. For example, if you put $100 on them at 4.16, you’ll see a $316 win with a total payout of $416.
