Arsenal face Newcastle in the Premier League this weekend, and this could be a fantastic game.
The Gunners are strong favorites going into this match after a stellar Premier League run, but Mikel Arteta’s team looked unsteady against Porto in the middle of the week.
Arsenal has recently found Newcastle to be a bit of a bogey team, and the Magpies could profit following the Gunners’ dismal midweek performance.
While Arsenal did lose against Porto, Dimitar Berbatov, speaking to The Metro, had a stab at picking the outcome and believes the Gunners will bounce back in this match.
Dimitar Berbatov tips Arsenal to win
The pundit shared his verdict on how this game will go.
“That’s a good, good game. It’s a big match for Arsenal, they’re on a great run and they will be full of confidence. Newcastle will want to get back to winning ways, and this would be a great way to do it, but I think the home team will have too much for them. So, I’ll go with Arsenal to win,” Berbatov said.
Tough to call
It takes guts for Berbatov to have predicted this match.
On the one hand, Arsenal has been playing fantastically in the Premier League lately, but this one is hard to anticipate given their recent performance against Newcastle and their midweek stumble.
The Gunners must win to maintain their chances of winning the league, but Newcastle must also win if they expect to make it to Europe the next season.
Whatever the outcome, this should be an exciting match.
