Newcastle United 1-0 Arsenal

Current streaks

Recent form

Newcastle United

Newcastle United's recent form has been disappointing, with the Magpies currently sitting in 12th position in the Premier League. The team has struggled to find consistency, winning just one of their last six matches across all competitions. Their goal-scoring form has been particularly concerning, netting only four times in this period for an average of 0.67 goals per game. Defensively, Newcastle have been somewhat more solid, keeping two clean sheets, but they've still conceded seven goals in six matches. The team are currently on a two-game losing streak in the league, having fallen to Chelsea and Brighton in their most recent outings. Their last high-scoring affair was the 3-1 defeat to Fulham, which stands out as an anomaly in a run of generally low-scoring matches, with 67% of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals.

Arsenal

Arsenal have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a notable unbeaten run of four games snapped by a surprising 2-0 loss to Bournemouth. The Gunners have been particularly strong at home, securing three consecutive wins before their most recent draw against Liverpool. Their attacking prowess is evident, having scored 12 goals in their last six matches, with a high-scoring 4-2 victory over Leicester City standing out. Defensively, Arsenal have been relatively solid, keeping two clean sheets and conceding just over one goal per game on average. Their current third-place position in the league, with 18 points from 9 games, reflects their overall positive start to the season, despite the recent setback against Bournemouth. The team's ability to bounce back from that defeat with a Champions League win against Shakhtar Donetsk demonstrates their resilience and strength across different competitions.

Recent home/away form

Newcastle United

Newcastle United have shown impressive form at home recently, with a notable run of three consecutive Premier League victories prior to their most recent match. The Magpies have been defensively solid, keeping three clean sheets in their last six home games and conceding only 0.5 goals per game on average. Their matches have typically been low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent home games featuring under 2.5 goals. Despite their strong home record, Newcastle's latest result broke their winning streak with a 1-0 loss to Brighton. Interestingly, while the team have been consistent in finding the back of the net, scoring in five out of six matches, they haven't been involved in any particularly high-scoring encounters at St. James' Park during this period.

Arsenal

Arsenal's recent away form has been somewhat inconsistent, with a mixed bag of results in their last six matches on the road. The Gunners have managed two wins, two draws, and two losses, indicating a struggle to maintain momentum away from home. Notably, Arsenal have kept three clean sheets in these six games, showcasing their defensive prowess at times. However, their goal-scoring has been relatively modest, averaging just one goal per game. The team's defensive solidity is further highlighted by the fact that 67% of their away matches have seen under 2.5 goals. Arsenal's most impressive away result came in a 1-0 victory against local rivals Tottenham Hotspur, while their most recent outing resulted in a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth. Despite these mixed results, Arsenal remain in a strong third position in the league, suggesting their overall form is better than their away performances might indicate.
