Newcastle Vs Aston Villa Preview
It’s no secret that Newcastle’s defensive woes have been well and truly exposed across their last two away games but at St James’ Park, the Toon Army have been much more formidable. The Magpies have picked up five points against Liverpool, Bournemouth and Hull in the North East so far and will be quietly confident of more points on MD7.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa walloped Fenerbahce 6-0 in the Champions League. Naturally, that will spread confidence throughout the whole squad after a rather sluggish start to the Lions’ Premier League campaign. So far, Unai Emery only has one domestic win to his name.
Newcastle Vs Aston Villa H2H Record
As far as the Newcastle vs Aston Villa H2H record goes, the Toon Army hold the upper hand. The Magpies have won this fixture 77 times across all competitions with Villa boasting 61 victories.
