Manchester United v Newcastle Odds

The Manchester United v Newcastle odds for this Man Utd Newcastle betting Premier League match has the Old Trafford team as overwhelming favourites to win and make a successful start to their Premier League title defence. Sir Alex Ferguson as always is as confident as he could be, he has already guided United to ten Premier League titles and the bookies have the club as 7/4 favourites to win an 11th. Ferguson will be aware that Newcastle will be no pushovers. Under Kevin Keegan's leadership, there is a definate air of confidence about them this season; they will come to Old Trafford as underdogs but with a playing style that could upset the rhythm of United and a side that loves to be in charge of the ball.

It looks likely that United will be without both Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney and it could be that they might be short of genuine firepower up front. Newcastle too, have their striker difficulties, Michael Own has been ill and Mark Viduka is definitely out of contention through injury. With that in mind it could be a close game in terms of goals and that might be in Newcastle's favour. Portsmouth last week in the Community Shield against United, prevented them from scoring and if Newcastle can do the same they will have a great chance to earn, what might well be an invaluable point. We take Man United to win by a goal, possibly two. Odds are: 3/10 Man Utd, 12/1 Newcastle, Draw 9/2.
