Newcastle have been in a tough spell lately, losing four of their last five games and drawing the other. They are not in great shape at the moment. Arsenal, on the other hand, have had a mixed run with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their last five matches. In recent meetings between these two sides, most games have been low-scoring. Over the last six encounters, four finished with just one goal or less, so it is unlikely to be a high-scoring affair.

Given Newcastle’s poor recent form and Arsenal’s slightly better record, the match looks close but slightly in Arsenal’s favor. The recent history also suggests Arsenal often come out on top against Newcastle. A draw is possible if both sides struggle to score, but Arsenal are more likely to win.
