Arsenal vs Newcastle: Free betting tips, prediction and odds

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are close to reaching a first cup final since their 2020 FA Cup success, but they have to get past in-form Newcastle, who boast the most notorious trophy drought in English football. 
The Gunners have an exceptional record against Newcastle at home, the last time the Magpies won at the Emirates was in November 2010 when a 21-year-old Andy Carroll scored the winner for the Toon, who were managed by Chris Hughton at the time. 
Despite their poor record at the Emirates, the Toon are a different beast these days and have won their last six across all competitions, which makes this an intriguing cup tie.

Here, we take a closer look at Tuesday's game and pick out some of the best bets long the way.

Good luck and please gamble responsibly.

Arsenal vs Newcastle tips

Newcastle asian handicap 1
Alexander Isak to score in 90 mins
Both teams to score
Under 3.5 goals

 

Newcastle Asian handicap 1.0

Both these sides are on unbeaten runs, with the Gunners unbeaten in their last 13 games across all competitions, while the Magpies have won their last six. 
Therefore, we’re expecting it to be a close-run affair, but as we mentioned Newcastle have a horrid record in North London, so we think an asian handicap is the way to go. 
We expect Eddie Howe’s side to set up for a draw given it’s a two-legged tie and that they have a good recent record against Arsenal at home, so a +1 asian handicap is a worthwhile bet. 

 

Alexander Isak to score anytime

This seems a given at the moment, the Swede became just the third ever Newcastle player to score in seven consecutive Premier League games against Tottenham on Saturday. 
The Tynesiders’ number 14 is a big game player too, he has an excellent record against ‘the big six’, scoring 17 goals in 30 appearances. 
Given the form he’s in, this is the go-to bet for this match.

 

Both teams to score

Both sides are in good attacking form, with the Gunners finding the back of the net in each of their last five games across all competitions. 
Meanwhile, Newcastle have scored 23 goals in their last eight across all competitions, which is an average of almost three goals per game. 
Both teams to score seems like a good bet for this match. 

 

Under 3.5 goals

Despite previous tips stating that there’ll be goals in this game, we still think it will be tight as recent games have been between these two. 
Under 3.5 goals is something that has happened in nine of the last 10 matches between these two, so we think it’s a wise bet.
