Newcastle United vs Manchester United

Current streaks

Recent form

Newcastle United

Newcastle United are currently enjoying a purple patch, having won their last four matches across all competitions, including an impressive 3-0 away victory against Leicester City. This run of form has seen them climb to 5th position in the Premier League table, amassing 53 points from 30 games. The Magpies have been particularly strong defensively, keeping two clean sheets in their last six matches and conceding only one goal per game on average. Their attack has also been potent, scoring nine goals in their last six outings, with 67% of these games featuring over 2.5 goals. Newcastle's recent success is further highlighted by their current five-game unbeaten streak, which includes a notable League Cup victory over Liverpool at Anfield. Despite a brief hiccup with back-to-back losses in late February and early March, Newcastle have bounced back emphatically, demonstrating their resilience and potential to challenge for European qualification.

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the Red Devils struggling to find consistency in the Premier League. Despite sitting in 13th position, their last six matches have shown some promise, with two wins, three draws, and only one loss. Defensively, United have been solid, conceding just four goals in their last six games and keeping two clean sheets. However, their attacking output has been inconsistent, with a notable 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad in the Europa League standing out as their highest-scoring match. The team's inability to secure back-to-back league wins has hindered their progress, although they did manage consecutive victories across all competitions in mid-March. United's recent results suggest they are difficult to beat, with three draws in their last four matches, including a goalless stalemate against local rivals Manchester City.

Recent home/away form

Newcastle United

Newcastle United's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with three wins and three losses in their last six matches at St James' Park. The Magpies have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly their thrilling 4-3 victory over Nottingham Forest and a disappointing 4-1 defeat to Bournemouth. Their matches have been goal-fests, with an impressive 83% of games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. Despite their inconsistent results, Newcastle have maintained a respectable attacking output, averaging 1.83 goals per game. However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding an average of 2 goals per match. The team's ability to bounce back from defeats is evident, as they've not suffered more than two consecutive losses at home during this period. Notably, their 2-0 win against Arsenal in the League Cup stands out as their only clean sheet in these six matches.

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent away form has been a mixed bag, with the Red Devils struggling to maintain consistency on their travels. Over their last six away matches, United have managed two wins, two draws, and two losses, highlighting their unpredictable nature. Defensively, they have been relatively solid, conceding just 0.83 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets. However, their attacking output has been somewhat lacklustre, averaging only 1.33 goals per game. The majority of their away fixtures have been low-scoring affairs, with 67% of matches featuring under 2.5 goals. Interestingly, both teams have scored in only a third of these games, suggesting United have been involved in some cagey encounters. While there are no notable winning or losing streaks to report, their most impressive result came in a 3-0 victory against Leicester, demonstrating their potential to produce commanding performances on the road.
