It's the Premier League season opener for these teams, whom at last are playing for points again. Will Newcastle United or Aston Villa get that important first three points?

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Newcastle United form and stats

It's the first season at a new level for Newcastle United as they were promoted from Premier League Summer Series last season. Happy days that were secured through 1 wins, 2 draws and 0 losses from three games. The team scored 4 goals at home last season and conceded 4. It will be interesting to see how they perform at this level.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Newcastle's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 4 games, won 2 matches, drawn 2 and lost 0.

It's been an intense period of training leading up to this game for Newcastle United, who have participated in four training matches. Newcastle United have won 4 of these, drawn 0 and were beaten in 0 games.

Aston Villa form and stats

A job perfectly done for Villa last season as they secured promotion from Premier League Summer Series. With a grand total of 1 wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 1 were in away matches.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Aston Villa playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 3 away wins, 0 draws and 2 home wins.

Just as the home team, Aston Villa have been through a few friendly games in the intense training period that just finished. The results from these training matches are 2 Aston Villa wins, 1 draw and 0 losses.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Newcastle United three wins, three draws and Aston Villa four victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven games had two or less.
