Premier League Matchday Odds, Picks & Predictions: Manchester City vs. Newcastle United

Manchester City vs. Newcastle United

The marquee matchup of the weekend features a battle between Manchester City and Newcastle United. Both clubs cruised to wins last weekend, winning their matches by a combined seven goals. Kickoff for the Saturday nightcap is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. ET from the Etihad. 

This line feels way too low in my opinion. I mean, these teams combined for eight goals last weekend with City taking care of Burnley (3-0) and Newcastle dominating Aston Villa (5-1). We have two of the most talented forwards in the PL squaring off with Erling Haaland (2 goals) and Alexander Isak (2 goals). This is a big early-season match and I expect these clubs to rely on their offenses to try and secure the three points. Give me BTTS here.
