Aston Villa at Newcastle

The nightcap for Saturday’s six-match slate features a thrilling showdown between Newcastle United and Aston Villa. This season opener is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET from St. James’ Park in Newcastle. 

It was just a few weeks ago (July 23rd) when Aston Villa and Newcastle squared off in a friendly at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, PA. That exhibition match ended in a 3-3 draw. While we’ll certainly see some new faces in the starting 11, I don’t think the goals will completely drop off. I’m riding with the BTTS prop in this one. 

Both clubs found a ton of success last campaign with Newcastle punching its ticket to the Champions League (4th) while Aston Villa also secured a spot on the European front with a seventh-place result. The Magpies found the back of the net 68 times last year (6th) while the Villans were 10th, with 51 goals.

Bet: Both Teams To Score (-140)
