Manchester United vs Newcastle United Prediction, Odds and Picks for Friday, 12/26/25

There are a host of games taking place across England on Boxing Day but the Premier League is conspicuous by its absence. As Boxing Day falls on a Friday this year, we have just 1 game to look forward to as Manchester United host Newcastle United at 3:00 pm ET, but there is at least a good chance these teams serve up some entertainment. The hosts could draw level with Chelsea in 4th with a victory and Newcastle, who sit 11th, are also looking to push towards the European spots.

Both teams have scored in 9 of the Red Devils’ last 10 games, and they have conceded in all of those games. Newcastle have the same record in terms of both teams scoring across their last 10 games in all competitions. Backing both teams to score is one option but the slightly bigger odds on over 2.5 goals looks the best angle. There have been at least 3 goals scored in 9 of Newcastle’s last 10 games and in 8 of Manchester United’s last 10. The hosts have one of the best attacks in the division with 31 goals scored in 17 games, behind only neighbors City, and Newcastle have struck 10 goals across their last 5 league games. With both attacks in form and both defences looking vulnerable, these teams should be able to combine for at least 3 goals.
