Match preview

Manchester United host Newcastle United in the Premier League on 26 December 2025. Manchester United sit 3rd on 71 points and Newcastle United are 12th on 49. Manchester United have won 2 of their last 5 (WDWDL), while Newcastle United have won 2 of 5 (WDWLD). In their last 1 meetings, Manchester United won 0, Newcastle United won 1 and 0 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
