Betting tips & odds comparison 08.05.2022 Manchester City FC - Newcastle United FC
Betting Tip for matchday 36 of the 2021/2022 Premier League between Manchester City FC and Newcastle United FC. The game will be played at Etihad Stadium (Manchester, England) on 08.05.2022 at 17:30.
Seeking redemption after their disappointing Champions League exit, Man City will be looking to take full advantage of Liverpool’s stumble against Tottenham when they welcome Newcastle to the Etihad on Sunday afternoon.
City are tied on points with Liverpool with a game in hand and they can open up a 3 point cushion at the top with a win here.
We expect an all-out attacking game here and we will take a look at 1xBet and Greatodds for our Premier League predictions today.
MANCHESTER CITY
Man City were seemingly on the verge of their second successive Champions League final. An explicable collapse in stoppage time however allowed Real Madrid to level the tile with a Rodrygo double before Karim Benzema drove the final nail in their coffin with a penalty in extra time.
Their wait for a Champions League title continues but they will now have to turn their focus on defending their Premier League title to assuage the pain of their fanbase.
They got a huge favor from Tottenham who held Liverpool to a 1-1 draw on Saturday night. Despite Newcastle’s improvement in the second half of the season, City will be fired up to make the most of the opportunity availed to them to create separation at the top.
NEWCASTLE
As we have indicated, Newcastle have been a totally different outfit in the second half of the season, both in personnel and results. Only the title-contending Liverpool and Man City have had more points than them since the turn of the year. Remember they were rock bottom of the table at Christmas but right now not only are they safe from relegation, they also have a decent shot at a top-10 finish.
They had a good run in April with wins over Wolves, Leicester, Palace and Norwich but that run was brought to a halt by Liverpool who got a narrow 1-0 win at St James’ Park last weekend.
Eddie Howe has a woeful record against the Cityzens. He has lost all 11 encounters against them and will be hoping for better tidings here.

MAN CITY VS NEWCASTLE PREDICTIONS
Despite the collective disappointment from their exit from Europe, Manchester City will be looking to bounce back here. Spurs gave them the extra motivation and it’s all upon them to take care of their remaining league fixtures as they bid to defend their Premier League crown. That task starts with this match. We fancy them to go all out right from the start and we are backing them to win the game at halftime and fulltime @ 1.58 with Greatodds as the first of our betting tips today.
There is likely to be an elevated level of physicality in this game. City will be desperate to get the points they need while Newcastle have shown in this second half of the season they will not be a footnote in any match. The Toons will give as much as they get and will try to make it as difficult as possible for City. As such we could see a few naughty tackles here and there. 1xBet app have priced 3 bookings in the game @ 1.62 and we feel there is value in rolling with this as our last tip.
