In terms of the ESB Volta (2x3 min.), this matchup carries greater importance.

If you’re backing this one, here’s the unvarnished truth.
Aston Villa (hrk) at 13.85 to win feels a tad skinny given their inconsistencies in the ESB Volta (2x3 min.) this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re overperforming — stats nerds would fade them.
Newcastle United (vladl3n)’s 1.11 odds tempts, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
The smart money’ll likely poke at the Draw 6.82 — these big games often play out tight, and pressure can stifle attacking flow.
