Why Bet on Arsenal?
Arsenal’s season is practically over. It promised much more, but once again, itends without silverware. The only thing left is to bid farewell to their fans and mathematically secure qualification for next season’s Champions League.
They are currently in second place, and a win could lock a runner-up finish in the Premier League for the third straight year. Arsenal were also recently knocked out of the Champions League in the semifinals by PSG.
There have been a few blows for Mikel Arteta’s side, who ran out of steam down the stretch and were heavily affected by injuries, especially in attack, where midfielder Mikel Merino had to play as a center forward due to the absence of their principal scorers.
Martin Ødegaard and Bukayo Saka are freshly recovered from injuries but are not at the highest level, and it’s shown on the pitch.
They’re coming off a 2-2 draw against Liverpool and are winless in their last five matches, with three losses—including both legs against PSG. To the injury list of Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Magalhães, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Kai Havertz, add Merino’s suspension.
Why Bet on Newcastle?
Quite the opposite for Newcastle, as they won the EFL Cup and are currently third in the Premier League with 66 points. A win this weekend, combined with other results, could secure their place in the next Champions League.
It’s been a splendid season for the Magpies, who are coming off a 2-0 win over Chelsea. However, they’ve only picked up one point from their last six available on the road.
Alexander Isak has been undoubtedly the standout player, scoring 23 goals—second only to Mohamed Salah (28)—and providing six assists. With 68 goals scored, they are the league’s second-highest scoring team, behind Liverpool (83).
Eddie Howe’s side is one of the most entertaining teams to watch in England, bringing joy to their fans once again in 2025. But they still need one final push to complete the celebration.
