Value Bets from Our Algorithm

Our value bets are generated by an algorithm that combines insights from advanced research models with key football data points. The system looks beyond simple win–draw–lose outcomes, weighing factors such as recent form, head-to-head records, expected goals (xG), and crucially, the impact of injury news. It then cross-references this with market odds to pinpoint bets that offer genuine value, highlighting opportunities the bookmakers may have overlooked.

Player Focus Bets

Based on recent form and historical data, our top picks for the Anytime Goalscorer market in this match between Newcastle and Manchester City:

• Bruno Guimarães is worth considering in the anytime goalscorer market because he is not just Newcastle’s midfield organiser; he has become a genuine scoring threat. For a central midfielder, his goal output this season stands out, and he regularly gets shots away by arriving late into the box when defenders are focused on stopping Newcastle’s forwards. He also tends to play heavy minutes, which is a key factor for an anytime bet, and his recent form suggests he is seeing the game well in the final third. In a semi-final where Newcastle need runners and second-wave pressure to trouble City, Guimarães has the timing and composure to find a chance.(Newcastle)
• Erling Haaland is always a serious option in the anytime goalscorer market because City’s attack is built around creating high-value chances for him, and his numbers speak for themselves across competitions. He gets a steady diet of shots, attacks the six-yard box better than almost anyone, and in tight knockout ties he is often the difference maker because one clear opening can be enough. The big surprise at the weekend was that Haaland played 45 minutes of City’s 10-1 FA Cup win, but the goal machine did not find the net, and that can even sharpen the angle here because he tends to respond quickly when he has gone a game without scoring. With City likely to control territory and supply, and Newcastle needing to be brave at home, the match set-up should still present Haaland with the kind of chances you want when backing an anytime scorer.

Quick Betting Angles

These Quick Betting Angles cut through the noise and turn stats into actionable insights for Newcastle vs Manchester City on 13 January 2026 at 8:00 PM.

1. Betting Angle (Both Teams to Score): Both Teams to Score appeals because Newcastle are usually positive at St James’ Park and have the attacking quality to hurt City, even if they spend spells without the ball. At the other end, City create too many chances to ignore, so it only takes one Newcastle moment to turn this into a BTTS kind of game.
2. Betting Angle (Total Goals): I’d expect 2 to 4 goals in this first leg, with the game more likely to clear Over 2.5 than get stuck in a low-scoring grind. If Newcastle land the first punch, it can quickly become the type of tie that swings towards three-plus.
3. Betting Angle (Home Advantage): Home advantage should matter here because Newcastle are typically a different proposition at St James’ Park, feeding off the crowd and playing with more tempo and aggression. They have also shown they can beat City at home this season (2-1), so they will believe this is the leg to make their mark before the return at the Etihad.
