Newcastle and Man City Face-Off In Carabao Cup First-Leg Semi-Final 🏆

The Carabao Cup semi-finals are over two-legs, but we get going with the first on Tuesday night as Man City head to St James’ Park to face holders Newcastle.

City will come into the game fresh from scoring 10 goals last weekend in their win over Exeter in the FA Cup.

Which was also a result that saw some of the biggest football bets from punters on Saturday.

While Newcastle will be buzzing from two recent epic wins over Leeds (League) and Bournemouth (FA Cup) – with 13 total goals scored in just these two games.

Before this clash, the eight-time EFL Cup winner Man City are 7/4 to go all the way again.

With Newcastle the 7/1 outsiders to defend their crown – then Arsenal at 15/8 and Chelsea 9/2 – who face-off in the other semi-final on Wednesday night.

But the 90mins match betting for Tuesday’s game is tight.

City are just edging it as the 6/4 favourites, with Newcastle 7/4 and the draw 5/2 – in a game the layers are suggesting could he hard to call.

Carabao Cup Match Odds – Newcastle vs Man City

  • Newcastle – 7/4
  • Draw – 5/2
  • Man City – 6/4

Newcastle and Man City Have Already Met at St James’ Park This Season 

The Magpies will, of course, be aware that City fired in 10 goals last weekend and are also coming here unbeaten in their last 12.

With City last losing a game at the end of November in the Champions League.

However, despite this recent goal rout in the FA Cup, City have actually drawn three of their last four games.

While Newcastle will also gain confidence knowing they’ve already beaten Man City this season.

This came in a 2-1 home win in the Premier League back in November – thanks to a brace from former Leicester man Harvey Barnes.

Newcastle have also lost only one of their last seven now.

A run of games that’s taken the heat away from Eddie Howe in the next Newcastle manager betting odds market.

Plus, City are also expected to hand keeper James Trafford the gloves against Newcastle on Tuesday.

In what could turn out for an audition for the England stopper, with Newcastle boss Eddie Howe a long-term admirer of Trafford.

Trafford has moved down the City pecking order after Donnarumma was signed – with many suggesting he could be looking for a move away from the Etihad.

Newcastle Have Lost Just ONE Of Their Last FIVE Home Games Against City 

The Toon have also only lost one of their last five home games against City – so generally do well when welcoming them to St James’ Park.

As mentioned, they saw them off 2-1 in the league earlier this season.

Then drew 1-1 the season before in the league.

With their only loss to City at home in their last five coming in a 3-2 defeat exactly two years ago on 13th Jan 2024.

If you think Newcastle can avoid defeat here, then why now back Newcastle/Draw at 4/7 in the Double Chance market?

Who Are The Newcastle and Man City Top Scorers This Season?

Manchester City forward Erling Haaland has scored 26 goals this season

No prizes for knowing the City’s top scorer this season is Erling Haaland – with the hitman having fired in 26 goals in all comps this campaign.

But, despite City bagging 10 goals at the weekend, Haaland – who played the first half, surprisingly wasn’t on the scoresheet.

Haaland is Evs to score in this Carabao Cup clash, or 7/2 to bag the first goal of the game.

While looking at Newcastle, their main man in front of goal this season has been Harvey Barnes – with 11 total goals.

As mentioned, Barnes netted a brace against City the last time they played too.

Barnes can be backed at 17/2 to score the first goal or 29/10 anytime.

Newcastle vs Man City Betting Tip: 50% Of The Last 14 H2H’s Saw OVER 3.5 GOALS 

Gameweek 34 FPL Tips
Back Newcastle’s Harvey Barnes To Score at 20/10

With City’s last game seeing an incredible 11 goals and the last two Newcastle matches having 13 total goals – then this could be a good recipe for plenty of goals here.

You can back Over 2.5 Goals at 8/13 – which, despite being odds-on, doesn’t look bad value.

Or with 50% of the last 14 H2H’s seeing OVER 3.5 GOALS – you can add another goal and be rewarded at 6/4.

So, in a bet that’s paid out in seven of the last 14 H2H’s the 6/4 on Over 3.5 Goals is how we are going to play Tuesday’ Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg.

Meaning, we’ll need a total of FOUR goals in the game to collect.

While, with 11 goals this season and being Newcastle’s top scorer, we’ll also take Harvey Barnes to get on the scoresheet at 20/10.

Having also netted four goals in their last two games.

  • BEST BET: OVER 3.5 GOALS @ 6/4
  • BEST BET: HARVEY BARNES TO SCORE ANYTIME @ 29/10
