Man Utd vs Newcastle odds and score prediction
Sky Sports' Lewis Jones...
With key attacking absences likely to affect Manchester United's output, United will be looking towards Matheus Cunha to provide the creative and shooting threat.
Repeatable patterns in betting are something to respect and Cunha's shooting profile is exactly that. No player since the start of last season has hit the target more often from outside the box than Cunha (31), which tells you this isn't variance, it's design. Even more encouraging, four of those outside-the-box shots on target have come in his last two games, highlighting current confidence and freedom in his role.
Away from home, Eddie Howe's side concede 1.21 shots from outside the box per game across their last 30 away league matches, the third-most of any Premier League team. That's a defensive concession profile that invites exactly the type of effort Cunha specialises in.
At Evens with Sky Bet for one or more Cunha shots on target from outside the box, you're not asking for a goal, just a clean connection that troubles the goalkeeper from outside the area.
SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2
