Newcastle vs Manchester United prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 13, 2025
The 32nd round of the English Championship will take place on Sunday at St. James' Park, where the local Newcastle will host Manchester United. I suggest betting on the outcome of this confrontation with a good odds.
Match preview
The Magpies, under the guidance of Eddie Howe, have gained confidence and are heading into the upcoming match with a streak of three consecutive victories. At home, they defeated Brentford (2:1), followed by away wins over West Ham (1:0) and Leicester (3:0). This series not only marked a step forward in the standings but also allowed Newcastle to equal Chelsea on points, currently trailing only on goal difference.
Moreover, the Northerners have a game in hand, which gives them a real chance to break into the top-4 on points lost. The team is playing uncompromising football: in the last 16 rounds, there hasn't been a single draw — 11 wins and 5 losses. A true "all or nothing" mode.
The Red Devils are experiencing a challenging period: for two consecutive rounds, the team has failed to score in the Premier League. First, the Mancunians stumbled away to Nottingham Forest (0:1), followed by a goalless draw at Old Trafford in the derby against City.
Nevertheless, this defeat was the only one in the last six championship matches, where Erik ten Hag's side celebrated two victories and shared points with opponents three times. However, even these results do not allow United to get closer to the European competition zone — the team is currently only in 13th place in the table, trailing the top-6 by a full 13 points. On Thursday, United drew 2-2 away to Lyon in the Europa League quarter-finals.
Probable lineups
- Newcastle: Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier, Valentino Livramento, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn, Jacob Murphy, Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, Alexander Isak, Harvey Barnes, Joelinton
- Manchester United: Andre Onana, Leny Yoro, Harry Maguire, Noussair Mazraoui, Diogo Dalot, Patrick Dorgu, Casemiro, Manuel Ugarte, Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, Rasmus Højlund

Prediction
Manchester United no longer has any motivation in the domestic championship and is more focused on securing a Champions League spot through victory in the Europa League. We suggest taking "Newcastle to win" with odds of 1.70.
