1X2 Odds Betting Odds
| Newcastle (1) | X | Manchester City (2) |
| 9/4 | 8/3 | 12/13 |
In the 1X2 football betting market, you can choose between three possible outcomes:
- 1: Home win (Newcastle)
- X: Draw
- 2: Away win (Manchester City)
Let’s take a look at the Newcastle vs Manchester City betting odds in the 1X2 market: the odds for Newcastle’s win are 9/4, a draw is priced at 8/3, and Manchester City’s odds are 12/13. In fractional odds, the denominator represents the bet amount, and the numerator is the expected profit. This means if you bet £4 on Newcastle and they win, you’ll earn £9 in profit plus your stake back. A successful £3 bet on a draw will return £8 in profit, and correctly predicting Manchester City’s win returns £13 for every £12.
Before placing your wager, consider whether the bet has short or long odds. If it returns a small profit, it is said to have “short” odds, whereas bets with higher potential profits have “long” odds. Short odds pay less but have a higher chance of hitting, whereas long odds have a lower chance of success.
Upon simplifying the fractions, bets on Newcastle return £2.25 per pound while bets on City return £0.92. So, City can be considered stronger in this fixture. However, this does not mean you shouldn’t bet on the Magpies. If teams are unevenly matched in a fixture, you can opt for safer markets like BTTS, Handicap, or Goal Total.
Double Chance Odds
| Newcastle or Draw | Newcastle or Manchester City | Draw or Manchester City |
| 3/4 | 1/4 | 3/10 |
The Double Chance market allows you to cover two outcomes, which gives you a better chance of winning. Here’s how it works:
- Newcastle or Draw (1X): Loses if City wins.
- Newcastle or Manchester City (12): This is a match-winner bet. It loses if the match draws.
- Draw or Manchester City (X2): This bet loses if Newcastle wins.
Consider this market if you are a cautious bettor or are unsure which outcome to back. However, your payout in this market will be lower than 1X2 as your risk is slightly lower.
Both teams have had only one draw in their last matches. Even their last 10 head-to-head fixtures had only one draw. Using this data, a matchwinner bet (12) may be a safer option.
Handicap Betting Odds
| Newcastle (+0.5) | Manchester City (-0.5) |
| 7/9 | 9/10 |
In their last 10 head-to-head matches, City won seven fixtures, Newcastle won two, and one match ended in a draw. City appears to be stronger in this fixture. So, fans who want to bet on Newcastle may find better value in the handicap market.
This market gives an advantage to one team and a deficit to the other. It is helpful if you believe one team is clearly stronger in the fixture.
There is only one handicap available for this match: +0.5 for Newcastle United and -0.5 for Manchester City. A positive 0.5 handicap gives an advantage to the Magpies in case of a draw. For example, a 1–1 draw will be read as 1.5–0.5 after applying the handicap. This means bets on Newcastle win even if they do not win the fixture.
If Manchester City wins by one goal, draw bets win (1–2 becomes 1.5–1.5). City will need to win the fixture by at least a two-goal margin to overcome the handicap.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
| Yes | No |
| 8/17 | 10/7 |
Here, bettors need to consider only one aspect of the match: whether both teams will score or not. You can bet on one of these two outcomes:
- BTTS Yes: Both teams will score at least one goal. The Newcastle vs Manchester City odds for BTTS Yes are 8/17. This bet wins if the score is at least 1–1 or higher.
- BTTS No: This bet wins if either or both teams don’t score. A successful BTTS No bet will have a zero in the final score, like 1–0, 0–1, 0–0, 0–2, etc. The odds for BTTS No for this fixture are 10/7.
Consider each team’s clean sheets to decide your bet in this market. A clean sheet is when the team’s defense is strong, and the opposition team fails to score any goals. The higher the clean sheets, the more chances for BTTS No bets.
City kept five clean sheets in their last 10 matches, while Newcastle kept none. Use this data to reduce your risk.
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
| Over 3.5 | Under 3.5 |
| 6/5 | 5/9 |
Predict whether the total goals scored in Saturday’s match will be over or under a fixed number. For this fixture, the betting line is set at 3.5 goals. So, if the final score looks like 2–2, the combined total becomes four, and Over 3.5 bets win. Similarly, if the final score is 1–0, the total becomes one, and Under 3.5 bets win.
Newcastle averaged 2.2 goals per match in their last 10 games, and Manchester City averaged 2.0. This brings their combined average goal total to 4.0, which is well above the 3.5 betting line. Use this data when considering the Newcastle vs Manchester City odds in the Over/Under market.
Another data point to consider is their recent head-to-head scores. Both teams faced each other four times this season and had a combined average of 2.75 goals per match (11 total goals scored in four matches).
