(NLDO) - Villa Park will be packed with spectators when Aston Villa hosts Newcastle United in round 1 of the English Premier League at 6:30 p.m. today, August 16.

Aston Villa played well, beating Villarreal 2-0 in their final friendly and certainly, in front of their home fans, they are capable of closing the gap on Newcastle United, who have been inconsistent at the start of the season. With the Aston Villa board having kept hold of key players in the summer transfer window, a home win is worth considering.

New signing Evann Guessand is expected to make his Premier League debut against Newcastle, while first-choice goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez is absent through suspension.

In contrast to Villa, the Magpies are being affected by the transfer of Alexander Isak. The Swedish striker no longer wants to play for the St. James' Park team and will move to Liverpool.

That is probably the main reason why experts believe in a victory for Aston Villa. Newcastle also lacks talented goalkeeper Nick Pope due to injury, so new contract Aaron Ramsdale (from Southampton) will start.

It will be interesting to see if the former Arsenal goalkeeper can show his confidence at Villa Park. One player to watch in the visitors will be big-money signing Anthony Elanga, who played a key role for Nottingham Forest last season.

Aston Villa have met Newcastle 175 times, winning 60 and drawing 39, while the Magpies have dominated with 76 wins. Of course, the dominance of the Northern giants is a thing of the past, under Unai Emery, Aston Villa are a real force both in England and Europe.

Aston Villa have won five of their last six home games against Newcastle, including a 4-1 thrashing in April, but they have not won consecutive games against the Magpies for 20 years. For Unai Emery's side, however, this is a chance to rewrite history.

The market has confirmed from the beginning that Aston Villa often takes advantage of home field advantage, so they accept Newcastle half a coin, winning enough to lose 8. Until this morning, the price has not changed much.

Aston Villa still accepts half, wins enough and loses 9. Anyway, choosing the home team is still more secure because of stability and also because of Unai Emery's magic. Many people advise choosing the over option, but with a 3-goal ratio, choosing the under option is safer.
