Manchester United vs Newcastle Prediction & Betting Tips 1/11/23
The pressure is mounting on Manchester United as they prepare to host Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.
Manchester United vs Newcastle 20:15, Preview
Nothing was surprising about Man City’s demolition job at Old Trafford, but with the Reds stuttering on all fronts, progression in the cup looks a necessity.
Casemiro and Aaron Wan-Bissaka could return from injury but Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Jadon Sancho are out.
Newcastle will be looking to bounce back after losing 1-0 to Borussia Dortmund last Wednesday and drawing 2-2 with Wolves on Sunday.
Eddie Howe was pleased with his side’s performance as they controlled possession and showed no signs of fatigue, but rotation may not be an option.
Aleksander Isak, Harvey Barnes Elliot Anderson, Sandro Tonali, Jacob Murphy and Sven Botman are unavailable.
Another slow start for Erik Ten Hag’s side means they’ve now been outscored 6-0 in the opening 25 minutes of matches at Old Trafford.
Forest, Brighton, Palace, Brentford and City have led 2-0, 3-0, 1-0, 1-0 and 3-0 respectively.
The Toon had a tough fixture list early on but they’ve since found the net five times inside 45 minutes in their previous three away games.
The visitors are likely to target a fast start so it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them open the scoring in the first half, which could be a profitable angle.
It’s also worth noting Howe’s side have netted at least twice in each of their last four, while Man Utd have conceded at least once in eight of nine.
Not only are the visitors in better form, unbeaten in eight games having scored 21 times, but they’ll also be targeting revenge for the 2023 Carabao Cup final defeat.
Callum Wilson is sure to start again given the injury situation. He’s found the net seven times in nine matches and looks a sensible choice in the anytime scorer market.
Manchester United vs Newcastle 20:15, Prediction
- Newcastle to score first in the first half
- Callum Wilson to score
- Newcastle to win
