It looks like Manchester City still has a chance to win despite playing away and indeed, I also admit that Newcastle is not a weak team. Because after all, from the record of their head to head results also that even though Newcastle lost, but Newcastle did not lose with a big score because what happened was only losing by a difference of one goal or maybe two goals. So yes, considering Manchester City who also have some key players injured, then maybe it will not make Manchester City to be able to make an impressive final result.
Thus, a draw or Manchester City won only with a thin score, I think it is still possible to happen. With such considerations, also then if there is a Newcastle 1 or 2 option it seems like it will still be a good option too. But if those options are not so attractive, then betting on the number of goals with the under option, I think will make me interested in betting too, because I think this match will not have many goals.
Today Guardiola announced that Rodri is out for the rest of the season, his injury was much more serious, problems with his miniscus, this morning he had surgery. Guardiola is upset and says that they don’t have such a player now, but City need to learn to win without Rodri, I think I heard something similar last season about De Bruyne when he was injured. Gundogan is back in City, there is De Bruyne and Silva. Newcastle need to be beaten, they are not the most difficult team in the Premier League for City.
But, what about the end result? And I think, a 1-1 draw is not a surprising result because anyway, I have also said that although Manchester City has a chance to win but it is not easy at all. Basically Newcastle is also not a weak team at all, so it still makes sense for the final result, considering Manchester City's key players are also newly injured so it takes time for Manchester City to get the right or exact formation and tactics with the availability of players.
Moreover, I personally also believe about Haaland that it will be difficult to make goals if there is no good supply or pass. So, it doesn't seem strange if Haaland also didn't manage to score in this match despite the fact that Haaland's statistics in this match are also good. With this draw, Manchester City's position was taken over by Liverpool, who also only won with a thin score of 1-2 against Wolves. The competition that occurs at the top of the standings will still be an interesting competition in the Premier League, because there are many seeded teams that are able to be at the top of the standings, and not always only about Manchester City.
