Gavin Puszczalowskyi looks at the Tuesday night game between Arsenal and Newcastle in the League Cup Semi-Final
It is the first leg of this intriguing clash and the first thing I will say is that I would have this more of a pick em' than the bookies. Arsenal are odds on clear favs to win with Newcastle priced at 15/4 at Bet365. For me, with Newcastle in their current form, that is too big.
Newcastle are looking to reach the final for the second time in 3 seasons while Arsenal have not made the league cup final since 2018, they have not won this trophy since 1993.
I'm with Newcastle to get something here. I'm expecting a low scoring game with Arsenal keeping 5 clean sheets in their last 6 home games, indeed the only game they have conceded in at home was the league cup game v Palace.
With Newcastle winning 6 straight games, and having a good record in the league cup, I'm backing them to get a draw, 3/1 at BetMGM and I could even fancy the correct scoreline of 1-1, 7/1 at AKBets.
Enjoy the game, good luck with your bets and gamble responsibly.
