Newcastle United preview
Although Newcastle is in third place in the Premier League with 35 points, and it has a +21 goal difference, the team stumbled this weekend, and it has echoed around the soccer world. In the FA Cup, they lost 2-1 to Sheffield Wednesday, from England’s third division.
To make matters worse, that defeat came at a match played as locals, and Bruno Guimaraes scored the Magpies’ goal in the 69th minute. Now, it is their turn to raise their heads in another domestic cup and against a Premier League rival, whom they defeated in that on December 26 last year by a 3-0 score in that competition. The goals were scored by Chris Wood, Miguel Almiron and Joelinton.
It will undoubtedly be more of an emotional test than a soccer one for Newcastle.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Nick Pope; Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schär, Sven Botman, Dan Burn; Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, Joe Willock; Miguel Almiron, Joelinton, Callum Wilson.
Leicester City Preview
Leicester City, who made it through to the third round of the FA Cup, defeated League One’s Gillingham by a 1-0 score, with a goal from Kelechi Iheanacho in the 56th minute.
Although this victory is important for the team, it does not cover up the poor campaign they have been having in the Premier League, where they are in the 13th position with 17 points. Even worse than that was the team’s end of the year and start of 2023, as it lost the last three games it has played.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Danny Ward; Timothy Castagne, Daniel Amartey, Wout Faes, Luke Thomas; Wilfred Ndidi, Boubakary Soumaré; Ayoze Perez, Youri Tielemans, Harvey Barnes; Jamie Vardy.
JefeBet Prediction
Although last weekend’s defeat was a tough loss for Newcastle, there is no time for regrets and, for the sake of history and the present, they must turn the page with a victory against Leicester City. On the other hand, Leicester City’s internal conflicts have transpired this week, and those will lead to the departure of seven players at the end of the season. The team is building up tension in the dressing room.
Therefore, at JefeBet we believe that Newcastle will advance in the Carabao Cup.
Prediction: Newcastle wins 3-1.
