Newcastle United vs Arsenal Preview, Betting Odds and Predictions – 28/09/2025

Newcastle United and Arsenal are set for a tense Premier League clash at St James’ Park on Sunday. Both sides cruised through their EFL Cup third-round ties in midweek. But in the league, neither team is where they want to be after five matches of the season. Arsenal come into this encounter on the back of a mixed emotional week.

A late Gabriel Martinelli strike salvaged a point against Manchester City, but there was still frustration at missed chances. That was followed by a routine 2-0 win over Port Vale in the Cup. One concern for Arsenal will be their record away at Newcastle. Arteta’s men have lost each of their last three trips to St James’ Park, with all of those defeats coming without scoring a single goal.

Newcastle United vs Arsenal Preview

For Newcastle, this match represents a chance to extend their impressive home run over the Gunners to four consecutive wins. However, Eddie Howe’s side are struggling in attack, with just three goals scored in the league so far. The loss of Alexander Isak has left a visible void, and the Magpies are still adjusting without their former talisman.

That said, Newcastle’s defensive record has been far more encouraging. Howe’s men have kept three consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League. Their defensive resilience could prove decisive in a match where both teams might struggle to create clear openings.

Newcastle United vs Arsenal Over/Under Predictions

Under 2.5 Goals @ -145 as per BetMGM

Newcastle’s last two league games finished 0-0 (Bournemouth) and 1-0 (Wolves). They’ve kept three straight Premier League clean sheets. Arsenal’s recent matches have also been low scoring: 1-1 vs Man City, 2-0 vs Athletic Bilbao, 2-0 vs Port Vale. Add in the Gunners’ struggles at St James’ Park (three straight defeats here without scoring) and a cagey, defense-first contest feels likely here. As a result, the Under 2.5 goals is the logical bet here.
