Aston Villa beat Newcastle in the Premier League just last month, and Saturday's hosts head into their FA Cup tie against the Magpies having won four of their last six matches in all competitions. Aston Villa have only kept one clean sheet in their last four attempts, and both teams have scored in two games during that same period. Unai Emery's side have only lost three times at home all season, and 13 of their games at Villa Park have ended in victory.
Newcastle have been going through a poor period of form lately, losing five of their last nine matches in league and cup. However, Eddie Howe's men know how to score goals and have only failed to score in three of their last 13 matches across all competitions. Both teams have scored in each of Newcastle's last five fixtures, but the Magpies have conceded at least two goals in four of their last six games.
We're backing Aston Villa to secure their second win of the season against Newcastle this weekend, courtesy of a narrow 2-1 scoreline.
Aston Villa 2-1 Newcastle
