Aston Villa – Newcastle SOCCER PICKS

Monday Night Football brings together two coaches at Villa Park in Birmingham, each with a special love for their clubs. In October 2018, Steve Bruce was fired from Aston Villa (17th place, 11 points) and replaced by lifelong Villa fan Dean Smith.

Smith’s father had been a folder at Villa Park for more than 30 years and passed on his club loyalty early on to his offspring. Smith then managed what Bruce did not manage a year before in the playoff final: promotion to the Premier League.

Now, Bruce returns to Second City on Monday to face his former club in the Premier League. After working for Sheffield Wednesday in the meantime, Bruce came to the Newcastle job that summer, like the Virgin to the Kid.

As the successor to Rafa Benitez, who had emigrated to China, Bruce was certainly not the first choice or the 1b or 1c solution. Numerous candidates said due to the difficult conditions (top performer, little money for reinforcements available, complicated club boss) from.

For Steve Bruce it was a dream job. The Premier League seemed a long way off; now the 58-year-old Geordie could fulfill a dream. Because similar to Smith’s love for Villa Bruce was a big Newcastle fan from childhood.

The fans were still not on his side yet and saw Bruce as a henchman of the unloved club boss Mike Ashley, who had disgusted fan favorite Benitez. In addition, it was aggravating that Bruce between 2009 and 2011, of all things worked for archrival Sunderland – an absolute no-go in the English Northeast.

Meanwhile, Bruce silenced many critics who saw Newcastle United (ranked 13th, 15 points) as the number one relegation contestant and Bruce did not trust the task.

Also, a majority of the fans could draw the Man United legend meanwhile on his side. With two recent Premier League victories in a row, the Magpies gained some air to the relegation places.

Villa last lost three times in a row. Two of these bankruptcies, however, there were against Man City and Liverpool.

Aston Villa:

The two defeats against championship favorites Man City and Liverpool were not a big surprise. Nevertheless, both times Villa pulled out more than honorable from the affair.

The Villa led against the Reds until minute 86. The appearance before the international break in the West Midlands derby at Wolverhampton Wanderers was completely different. It was a weak and bloodless appearance, which greatly angered Coach Smith.

The words he addressed to the team at the end of the game were not ready for press, he revealed in the interview. The coach said the match was “bigger for Wolverhampton than it was for us”.

This conceded Villa three Premier League failures in a row. This was the last time between February and April 2016 (eleven defeats) when Villa descended in the episode. Lack of passion was in the previous home games, however, no trace.

Before the home defeat against Liverpool, the Villans remained unbeaten at Villa Park four games in a row and come after six home games on a balanced balance (2-2-2). One reason why the betting base between Aston Villa and Newcastle, according to the forecast for advice “DNB1” advises.

That the climber is often still a little green behind the ears, is shown by the fact that Villa this season already eleven points after leadership out of hand gave (Premier League high).

In addition, Villa 16 conceded 20 of the 20 goals in the second round. Although only the current top four teams Liverpool, Leicester, Chelsea, Man City and Tottenham scored more goals than Villa (17), only the three teams on the relegation places Watford, Southampton and Norwich conceded more goals before this matchday as the European Cup winner of the national champion of 1982.

No other team conceded more header conceding than Aston Villa (five). Summer new arrival Trezeguet met in his recent two Premier League games. Should the Egyptian also meet on Monday, he would be the first mansion player since Tom Cleverley in May 2015, who would hit in three Premier League games in series.

Core keeper Tom Heaton threatens to fail. As substitute Jed Steer is injured, the Norwegian Orjan Nyland should again stand between the Villa post. Jota and Keinan Davis are also injured.

New Castle:

Newcastle United is absolutely in the target after twelve matchdays. With currently 15 points, the lead on the first relegation place is seven points. In addition, significantly higher-traded teams such as Tottenham, Everton or West Ham can be found behind the Magpies in the table again.

Newcastle have won their last two Premier League games against West Ham and Bournemouth, giving them the chance to score three straight wins for the first time since November 2018.

Overall, Newcastle have been unbeaten in three games (2-1-0) and have lost just one month of their last five league games to 1-0 at Chelsea. However, the Magpies have since January 2018 not win two away games in a row.

A great strength of the Magpies are currently the goalkeeper defensive players. Seven of the last nine goals went to defenders. With 64 percent, the defenders also have the highest percentage of goals scored in the league (seven out of eleven).

36 percent of Newcastle’s goals (four out of eleven) were top goals – a figure currently surpassed by Everton alone (46 percent). However, the yield of the offensive forces is rather weak.

The attacking trio for record new Joelinton (one goal, an assist), Allan Saint-Maximin (0/1) and Miguel Almirón (0/0), however, has still much air to the top. In particular, the Frenchman Saint-Maximin in recent games gave the impression as if the knot could burst soon.

In addition, the Magpies fired 20 shots in their recent home game against Bournemouth – most in a Premier League game this season and the best since February (then 29 against Huddersfield Town).

At Aston Villa Vs. Newcastle suggest the odds of the betting shops a favorite role of the Villans. This may be due to the Monday balance of the Magpies. Newcastle have lost 12 of their last 15 Premier League fixtures (2-1-12).

However, the Magpies in three of the youngest five remained without bankruptcy (2-1-2). To make matters worse, that all 15 games were played away – much to the chagrin of the “Toon Army”, who travel their club numerous and loud throughout the country.

Newcastle coach Steve Bruce has lost two of his last three competitive matches against former teams he coached (0-1-2). The last game of this type he lost 1: 3 against Aston Villa. Previously, he lost only two of 27 games of this type (18-7-2). On Monday, Aston Villa and Newcastle advise our forecast for the tip “DNB1”.

Sean Langstaff misses one last time due to his red-lock. Captain and defender Jamaal Lascelles is injured the rest of the year. Fabian Schär, Florian Lejeune and Matt Ritchie are questionable.
