Command Analysis

Newcastle United

England

Current Form

Newcastle is currently showing inconsistent performance. In the league, they managed a solid victory against Tottenham (2-1) and a draw against Manchester City (1-1). However, they dropped points against clearly weaker sides like Bournemouth (1-1) and Fulham (1-3). These missteps have kept the hosts from breaking into the top tier, leaving them in seventh place. In the previous round of the League Cup, the Magpies faced another Premier League team, Nottingham Forest, and won in a penalty shootout.

Injuries and Suspensions

Wilson, Botman, Lascelles, Miley, and Targett are currently injured.

Tip and bets

1.7handicap (+2.5) on Wimbledon

We do not anticipate a high-scoring match in this encounter. The home team will likely focus on their league performance, providing playing time to substitutes and younger players during the League Cup match. The visitors have already eliminated a Premier League club and will certainly pose a challenge to their formidable opponent.

Our prediction is an Asian handicap (+2.5) on Wimbledon at 1.70

Total Goals Bet

Wimbledon has struggled to find the net in recent matches but has excelled defensively, managing to keep a clean sheet in three games. While it’s unlikely the club can maintain this defensive strength, we anticipate a low-scoring affair.

Our prediction is a total of under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.85.
