Arsenal v Newcastle Betting Tips [18 May 2025]

Arsenal run the risk of being knocked from the second spot in the Premier League when they host Newcastle United on Sunday. The Gunners start the weekend just two points ahead of third-placed Newcastle United. Below is our preview and a prediction for the match.

Arsenal have fallen way short of their 2023/24 performances but will want to at least wrap up the season placed second. A win will guarantee that, but the Gunners are coming from a run of five straight winless matches in all competitions.

Three of those five matches ended in defeat, but they rallied from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Liverpool in the latest.

Newcastle United have had a much better run and will come into this game as favorites. The Magpies are unbeaten in the last three matches, winning two.

Their most recent was a 2-0 win at home to Chelsea, a result that also matches their third clean sheet in the last five matches. This season Newcastle United and Arsenal have met three times, and Newcastle have won all.

Two of those meetings were in the League Cup, which Newcastle United went all the way to lift. In their last 10 matches across all competitions, Newcastle United have posted eight wins and only lost once.

After finishing second in the last two seasons, Arsenal look very likely to finish below second this time. They’ve been on a poor run towards the final weeks of the campaign and come here as underdogs even as they play at home.

They face a side that has beaten them three times already this season, and the Gunners haven't looked good enough lately. Missing key players through injury and suspension may also hurt them. Our prediction for Arsenal v Newcastle United is that Newcastle United wins the match.
