Sport Betting Tip: Arsenal - Newcastle United, Premier Leauge

Details:

Newcastle lost away to previously winless Sheffield United, so can't be fancied to get much against Arsenal. The Gunners are having a poor season, but have just hit a little run of form and can add to that here.

There is a difference of 5 points between Arsenal and Newcastle who clash in the English Premier League. Arsenal are big favorites for victory, after finding the form and taking 3 victories and a cross in the last 4 matches. Newcastle's form is nothing to hang in the Christmas tree with 3 losses and a cross in the last 4 matches. Both teams have meanwhile defended well and learn to do so when they meet as well. Arsenal have found the balance in the defensive and have not conceded a goal in the last 3 matches, which have been played against Brighton, West Brom and most recently Crystal Palace.

There are 3 teams that are at Newcastle's level. Going forward, Arsenal have not scored a goal either, except in the 4-0 victory against West Brom. Most recently, it was goalless at home against Crystal Palace, where Arsenal were not so creative in the attacking game. The same goes for Newcastle in their last match, which they lost away against the last Sheffield United.

It was clearly noticed that Newcastle only focused on getting one point and were punished in the 0-1 loss. Newcastle created hardly any situations at all, so the loss was "fair". Recently, Newcastle met the top teams Liverpool and Man City, where it was goalless at home against Liverpool and only 0-2 away against Man City. So Newcastle know how to defend themselves. I can not see that there will be a target party in London.

My game will be that the match ends under 3 goals, on an Asian handicap. The bet back at exactly 3 goals.

• Newcastle have failed to score in 5 of their last 6 matches (all competitions).
• Arsenal have kept 4 consecutive clean sheets (all competitions).
