Before placing any bets on this Sunday`s Newcastle vs. Arsenal fixture, it`s advisable to consult the predictions of SportsLine`s renowned soccer expert, Jon Eimer.

Eimer has established himself as a leading soccer expert for SportsLine, concluding 2023 with an impressive record of 248-234-12 (+25.93 units of profit). In 2025, he continues his remarkable success, generating profit across various leagues, including the Premier League, Champions League, and La Liga. Those who followed his predictions could have seen substantial returns.
Here are Eimer`s top picks for Sunday`s Newcastle vs. Arsenal match:
- Under 2.5 total goals (-140)
- Both teams to score: No (-120)
The expert notes that he typically leans towards betting on a high number of goals and on both teams finding the net. However, in this specific instance, after a thorough analysis, he doesn`t foresee such an outcome. His reasoning is firmly rooted in historical data and team tendencies.
Head-to-head statistics support Eimer`s stance: in their last 16 competitive encounters, both teams have scored in only one match (since 2019). Similarly, the “over 2.5 goals” mark has been hit only once in their last ten meetings. This suggests that both teams, whether playing at St. James` Park or the Emirates Stadium, tend to prioritize strong defensive strategies, making a low-scoring affair a highly probable outcome.
