Carabao Cup Odds

Game Preview

Arsenal looks impressive, having not lost for the previous 13 straight events. Arteta’s boys have nine wins during this interval, with four ties, one of which took place this weekend in Brighton, 1-1.

However, their results at the Emirates have been even better. The Gunners have played 14 games so far, winning 11 of them and recording three ties. They’ve kept five clean sheets in the previous six meetings here.

Newcastle is equally confident and ruthless in the last few weeks. The Magpies posted six straight triumphs, netting at least twice in each one.

Alexander Isak is on fire, netting in seven straight games and producing nine goals and two assists. The Swedish striker is the reason why this team looks so sharp and deadly overall, though we won’t underestimate the rest of the team.

Their first meeting at St. James’ Park saw Newcastle’s minimal victory, 1-0. Isak was the only scorer in the 12th minute of the event.

Arsenal vs. Newcastle Prediction

The Gunners are fierce at home, but right now, Newcastle’s form is also on the rise. We are pretty sure that Eddie Howe won’t be too keen to attack, yet on the other side, neither would Arteta. Because of all this, our pick here is moderate efficiency and we bet on 2 or 3 goals.
