Newcastle vs Bradford Bet Builder Tips: Back Osula To Score In 15/2 Carabao Cup Treble

Newcastle host League One leaders Bradford in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night, and you can back our betting tips for the clash in a 15/2 bet builder.

The Carabao Cup third round continues with Premier League giants Newcastle welcoming League One table-toppers Bradford to St James’ Park on Wednesday, with kick-off set for 19:45.

Eddie Howe’s Magpies have endured a tough start to the campaign following the departure of Alexander Isak to Liverpool, having won just one of their six competitive matches.

That victory came over bottom-of-the-table Wolves, and they have since followed that up with a 2-1 defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League and a 0-0 draw against Bournemouth.

It’s a return that sees them sit in 13th place in the English top-flight table after five games.

Newcastle are 1/9 favourites with football betting sites to win the tie in 90 minutes despite their underwhelming start to the season.

The Bantams, meanwhile, are flying in the third tier. Having been promoted from League Two last term, they occupy top spot in League One after an impressive opening nine games.

They boast a record of six wins, two draws and one defeat in the league and recorded a mightily impressive 3-1 win away at promotion favourites Cardiff City on Saturday afternoon.

To get to this stage of the Carabao Cup, they edged past Championship side Blackburn Rovers with a 2-1 triumph in the first round before battering Stoke City 3-0 in the second round.

Newcastle vs Bradford Bet Builder Tips

• Newcastle to Win Both Halves @ 5/6
• William Osula to Score at Any Time @ 4/5
• Will Swan – Over 0.5 Shots on Target @ 2/1

Newcastle to Win Both Halves @ 5/6

The hosts’ squad depth and Premier League quality should shine through here, and although Howe is likely to rotate heavily, we’re backing Newcastle to win both halves in this one.

Against lower-league opposition, the Magpies are expected to dominate possession and create chances throughout both periods, especially given the fact that they are at home.

At 5/6, backing them to win each half presents strong value for your bet builders.

William Osula to Score at Any Time @ 4/5

Newcastle replaced Isak with Yoane Wissa in the summer, before Nick Woltemade followed him through the door, however it’s William Osula that’s expected to lead the line on Wednesday.

The young Dane netted in the 3-2 defeat to Liverpool towards the end of last month.

Since then though, he hasn’t been on the scoresheet and has featured minimally in September. He has totalled just 31 minutes for both club and country throughout the month.

In desperate need of game time and likely to play a prominent role in this week’s cup clash, at a price of 4/5, Osula looks well placed to get on the scoresheet against Bradford.

Will Swan – Over 0.5 Shots on Target @ 2/1

Finally, we’re backing Bantams forward Will Swan to register a shot on target at St James’ Park.

Chances will be few and far between for the visitors, but when they do get an opportunity in front of goal, Swan is highly likely to be involved given his impressive form levels this term.

The 24-year-old has six goals and two assists in 11 appearances for Bradford this season and netted in both victories over Blackburn and Stoke in the first and second rounds.

He is averaging 2.0 SOTs per game in the competition, while he is averaging 0.8 SOTs per game in League One, making him a strong candidate to hit the target at least once.

You can back him to do just that at a price of around 2/1 with top bookmakers in the UK.
