The four-time champion and six-time FA Cup winner performed mediocre last season, which it repeated in this championship. In 35 rounds of the current season, Newcastle managed to get ten wins and nine draws, which brought 39 points and 16th place in the standings. In the last five rounds, the Magpies have lost only once and also shared the tournament points with Liverpool (1:1) and won three victories over Burnley (2:1), West Ham (3:2) and in the last match over Leicester (4:2). The Citizens have scored 40 times with 12 goals scored by Wilson. In the FA Cup, the Jordies were defeated in the 1/32 finals, when they failed to cope with Arsenal. Anderson, Cher, Hayden, Fraser, Wilson and Laskelles, who has an injured leg, will not be able to take part in this game
Sacramento are one step away from the playoffs. Luke Walton’s wards need to eliminate the handicap in two wins. This is exactly what the kings lack until the tenth San Antonio. For almost the entire season, this team continues its pursuit of the top ten of the West, but it has not been possible to catch up with it. Throughout the regular season, the Kings played the fool and in the end they started playing. In the last seven matches, they managed to win six wins. Moreover, four of them were taken by the “kings” on other people’s parquet floors. It looks like the team from California really wants to continue their performances this season.
