Aston Villa vs Newcastle United prediction and betting tips on April 19, 2025
Game Prediction
In the 33rd round of the English Premier League, Aston Villa and Newcastle United will play their match on April 19, 2025. This is a direct clash between rivals for a Champions League spot, and a win in this head-to-head showdown could prove decisive.
Our Prediction for the Match Aston Villa vs Newcastle United
The Birmingham side continued to make progress under Unai Emery. The year before, they finished seventh, but in 2023/2024, even with the added load of competing in the Conference League, they managed to snatch fourth place from Tottenham. Newcastle, on the other hand, dropped out of the top four. Obviously, their long-awaited but unsuccessful participation in the Champions League had an impact—finishing last in their group there and ending the EPL season in seventh.
This time, however, Howe is already a trophy winner—after beating Liverpool in the final, he won the League Cup. It's been a long time since there was a similar source of pride at "St. James' Park". True, shortly before that, the club was knocked out of the cup by Brighton. Now, though, they can focus on fighting for a Champions League berth for next season, especially since fifth place is now enough. In the previous round, they thrashed Manchester United 4-1. Emery's side are competing in European cups, and that has influenced their domestic results. The quarter-finals against PSG were spectacular yet unsuccessful: they took the lead away but conceded in added time to lose 1-3; in Birmingham, they conceded twice but staged a comeback for a 3-2 win—thus, they were eliminated. Overall, the winter overhaul has benefited the team. They're already in the cup semi-finals and a streak of wins brought them back into the fight for the EPL top five. In the last round, they won 3-0—but against already relegated Southampton.
Watkins and his teammates have an equal record for goals scored and conceded—just under one and a half per game in the EPL (precisely 1.53/1.44). Howe's men have a better balance: an average of 1.81 goals scored and 1.29 conceded.
