On Sunday, August 21, at 6:30 p.m., Newcastle United and Manchester City will meet in the second leg of the 3rd leg of the English Championship, which will be broadcast by Digi Sport 1 and Prima Sport 1.
Newcastle United are virtually the richest club in the Premier League after the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) bought an 80% stake.
PIF, backed by Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, manages €368 billion, while City Football Group, the company controlled by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan and which owns Manchester City, is based on “just” €27 billion.
Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s personal fortune is estimated at £17 billion, three billion more than his Saudi rival.
But Mohammed bin Salman owns almost all the resources of Saudi Arabia: he is the son of the king and the de facto leader of the Persian Gulf country, in which he holds the positions of deputy prime minister and defense minister.
Instead, the owner of “Manchester City” is the Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE and Minister of Presidential Affairs.
Newcastle United finished last season in 11th place, after struggling for the last places in the first part of the league, or rather when Mohammed bin Salman took charge of the club, this time after several top transfers and also after the installation of Eddie Howe on the technical bench, the results changed radically.
In the current season, Kotofen beat Nottingham Forest at home (2:0) and drew with Brighton (0:0).
Manchester City, the reigning champions (four titles in the last five years), entered the transfer market and brought in Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund for just €75m (with break clause).
After losing the FA Community Shield to Liverpool (1-3), Pep Guardiola’s side made a strong start to the league, 2-0 against West Ham United and 4-0 at home to Bournemouth.
The City have won six in a row against Newcastle United, with Manchester City winning 4-0 away and 5-0 at home last season.
Superbet offers odds of 1.47 that Manchester City will score at least two goals in the match against Newcastle United.
