Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both Man Utd and Newcastle supporters should get a chance to celebrate as their sides go head-to-head, with KickOff's prediction of both teams to score looking a far more convincing pick than any bet on the WDW market. The two clubs are more than capable of finding the net, as is borne out by the stats and past head-to-head data below. Even the bookmakers odds are not finding much to pick between the sides, with equal threat among their respective squads. Both teams to score is the way to go here.
