Newcastle take on the visitors Manchester City in the 1/16-finals of English Football League Cup. The match will be played on Wednesday, September 27th at St. James Park (Newcastle).
Newcastle's successes have complicated their schedule. Under Eddie Howe, the Magpies have made significant progress. Initially, the young manager managed to improve the team's difficult situation in the winter of 2022, saving them from almost certain relegation. In the previous season, the black and whites remained in the top four throughout the entire campaign, finishing in fourth place. This meant that the popular club had finally returned to the Champions League, and last week, they played a 0-0 draw with the club of the same name in Milan. However, in the Premier League, their results have been mixed, with victories alternating with defeats, including a lackluster 1-2 loss to Liverpool, even though Liverpool played with 10 players. However, they took out all their frustrations on Sheffield United, a modest newcomer, defeating them 8-0.

The Citizens only lost in the FA Community Shield at the start of the season. However, it's been clear for a while that Guardiola isn't interested in this tournament. In contrast, in the UEFA Super Cup, they equalized with Sevilla after conceding a goal and won in a penalty shootout. Moreover, in the Premier League, Pep Guardiola's men have started with a perfect record. Their match against Nottingham Forest was marred by Rodri receiving a red card in the 46th minute, but they still managed to win. In the Champions League, the long-awaited holders of the Big Ears started with a victory, although they conceded at home first against Red Star Belgrade, but then responded with three goals of their own after the break.
Newcastle have only managed to draw once in their last nine matches, which was in the summer of last year. Manchester City will be the favorites, but they don't particularly value this tournament. So, let's go with the suggestion of total under 3.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
