Newcastle United host Burnley in the English EFL Cup 1/32 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 25th at St. James' Park (Newcastle)
Newcastle United keep afloat in the Premier League, although the Magpies cannot claim high places. The club finished in 12th place in the previous season. Newcastle began this championship with two defeats. The Black-and-Whites lost at home to West Ham (2-4), although they were leading 2-1 after the first half. The second match ended in an away defeat to Aston Villa with a score of 2-0. It's too early to draw any conclusions from the first matches because Newcastle may still gain momentum. Five players will miss the upcoming game due to injuries.

In the last Premier League draw, Burnley was able to take only 17th place, although the gap from the relegation zone was solid in the end. Burnley is a modest team that can impose a struggle on the strongest clubs. So far, the club has not managed to score points. The Clarets were winning during 70 minutes of the game against Brighton and then conceded twice (2-1). In the second round, the chances to score points were less, and Burnley lost to Liverpool away with a score of 2-0. Burnley's main task is to maintain a place in the strongest division.
In the previous season, the teams crossed paths twice, and the victory went to the Magpies in both games (1-2 away and 3-1 at home). The poster for the 1/32 finals of the League Cup is quite good, because two representatives of the Premier League will play. Both clubs showed a bad start to this season, so the victory in the League Cup could be a psychological boost. We are betting on Newcastle's victory with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Newcastle to win with 0.0 handicap
