Manchester United are eager to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa, but with Newcastle United losing only one of their last seven games, our prediction firmly points toward a 2-2 draw. The Red Devils have been involved in some high-scoring games of late (3.90 per match) and we predict that they will stick to their attacking style of play. Despite Bruno Fernandes’ injury, we are positive that Ruben Amorim’s troops will find the net in Friday’s clash.
The Magpies, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Chelsea. With seven of their last eight away games featuring 3 or more goals, Over 2.5 goals market definitely seems appealing. Yoane Wissa is on international duty with Newcastle United, but the DR Congo striker would not have started regardless. Nick Woltemade’s fine form definitely supports our betting angle. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
Given the attacking potentials of Man Utd and Newcastle, we believe that there is big value in betting on BTTS, alongside Over 2.5 goals (57%) and Nick Woltemade to Score.
This Premier League match will be played on Friday 26 December 2025 at 20:00.
