Man City vs. Newcastle prediction, pick for Saturday 2/21/26

Matchweek 27 of the Premier League has arrived as Newcastle travels to take on Man City in a game that sees second place take on 10th.

Man City are -235 favorites on the moneyline for this one on DraftKings Sportsbook, with a draw available at +450. Fancy a Newcastle upset? The Magpies are +500 to pick up three points.

Man City vs. Newcastle Prediction, Pick

This bet can be found under the “Match Parlays” tab. For the fourth time already this season, Man City and Newcastle will face off. Man City have won two of the first three games, losing once. In two of those three games, three or more goals have been scored. They first met in November, when Newcastle beat Man City 2-1 in the Premier League. Then, they played each other twice in the Carabao Cup semi-finals, with Man City winning 2-0 away from home and 3-1 in the home leg.

Man City have gotten the better of Newcastle in seasons past as well, winning five of the last seven games in all competitions, drawing one and losing one.

These teams will also face off in the fifth round of the FA Cup, and it’s possible that they meet in the later stages of the Champions League as well. There is a chance that these teams could play each other a total of seven times this season.

Man City have won four straight games in all competitions, and are slowly closing in on leaders Arsenal in the Premier League. A win in this game would see the Citizens only two points off top spot. A win at Anfield might have turned their season around, as they followed that up with a convincing 3-0 win against Fulham. A third league win in a row would go a long way towards another Premier League title, and they should do just that.

The Pick: Man City Win and Over 2.5 (-135)
