ARSENAL/NEWCASTLE OVER 2.5 -115
I am looking forward to this tilt, these have been 2 of my favorite teams to watch this year. Both teams like to go forward, and have some serious attacking quality up top. Arsenal has been tearing it up , they are averaging 2.50 goals per game good for #2 in the EPL, Newcastle is coming in at #5 averaging 1.88 per game. Only Mancity is better in their own park at finding the net than Arsenal. Arsenal is #2 in the EPL for home scoring, and when they play at Emirates the scoring metrics go up exponentially. They are averaging 3 per game at home. However, Newcastle have been doing their own damage, and they are good on their travels. Newcastle has scored 9 goals in their last 3 road games , scoring 2, 4, 3. They are one of the best road scoring teams in the EPL coming in 6th overall with just under 2.0 per game. These teams are coming in hot, in good form, with all their recent games going easily over the total. They are ranking in top 5 in shots, shots on targets goals, xG . There is risk in this play because on the flip side Arsenal and Newcastle are top of the league in some key defensive metrics. This game has a lot of implications as far as the standings goes it could be tight. I just feel we will see enough chances to find 3 in this one. These teams don't sit back, they like to go forward. Newcastle especially can jump on teams quick. I am hoping for a good match.
