Tranmere take on the visitors Newcastle in the 1/32 finals of English Football League Cup. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 24th at Prenton Park (Birkenhead).
Tranmere now represents League 2. The "Superwhites" are unique. They, based in the English Merseyside, in the suburbs of Liverpool, managed to win the Welsh Cup, however, this was in the mid-30s of the last century. However, from the recent success, you can name a few quarter-finals in the FA Cup. And in 2000, in the League Cup, I managed to reach the League Cup final! In the championships, everything is much more modest. The club is kept in League 2, and this is the 4th division of the country. Last season they was, for example, 9th place. And now Mickey Mellon's wards have completely dropped to the bottom of the table. But in the EFL cup they reminded of their character, beating Accrington away on penalties.

Newcastle - one of the most interesting modern projects in Albion. The Magpies have long been considered the most popular club in the country. But, with a glorious history, present times were not the best, and the departure of Rafa Benitez looked like a sentence. And then, nevertheless, it turned out to bring the sale to investors from Saudi Arabia to its logical point, which took many months. The new owners actively spent both in winter and in the summer "window". But it is noteworthy that there are no reckless expenses, not cheap players are bought, but pointwise, at the request of Eddie Howe. The young mentor was able not only to survive last season, but also to rise to the middle of the table as a result. And the new championship turned out to start with 2-0 with Nottingham Forest. This was followed by a goalless draw at Brighton. But in the 3rd round, it was Newcastle that became the author of the main sensation. Not only did he take points from Manchester City, playing 3-3, but they also led the match in 2 goals!
Newcastle have won all 4 of their last head-to-heads. But they occurred at the end of the last century, from 1992 to 2000. It is clear who is the favorite in this pair. Last season, Newcastle had a shocking misfire in the cup, it's hard to believe that it will happen again right away. We bet on visitors with a handicap of "-1.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Newcastle to win with -1.5 handicap.
