Betting Preview: Latest Results and Roster Updates
Newcastle United FC
Newcastle stunned Arsenal in the first leg of the EFL Cup at the Emirates with a 2-0 victory despite having just 30% possession. Isak struck in the first half, while Anthony Gordon sealed the win after the break. Since then, the Magpies have suffered two defeats in five games. Their most recent loss was a 2-1 defeat against Fulham.
Eddie Howe’s will try to end their 70-year trophy drought by reaching the EFL Cup finals. They’ve battled past Premier League opponents Nottingham Forest, Brentford, Chelsea, and AFC Wimbledon to get here. However, they need a positive result in this game to secure a spot in the final.
Due to injuries, Newcastle will be without Harvey Barnes, Callum Wilson, and Jamaal Lascelles. However, Nick Pope should return after an 11-game absence.

Arsenal FC
Arsenal’s struggles continued after their first-leg defeat to Newcastle. First, Manchester United kicked them out of the FA Cup. Next, they squandered a 2-0 lead in a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa. However, they have bounced back with four consecutive wins, including two Champions League victories that automatically qualified them for the UCL Round of 16.
The EFL Cup remains one of their best chances for silverware, but their first-leg loss complicates matters. Arsenal’s impressive 5-1 league victory against Man City last Sunday will raise their morale heading to this game. Despite that win, most bookies for Premier League view the Gunners as second favorites to win the EPL title.
Ben White, Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, and Takehiro Tomiyasu are still out of contention.

Betting Predictions For Newcastle vs Arsenal
Here are our Newcastle vs Arsenal betting predictions:
Draw No Bet: Newcastle @ 2.20 (5/4)
3 (100%)
0
Newcastle will be determined to reach the final after securing victory in the first leg of this encounter. They will enjoy the comfort of playing at home, which could give them the momentum to edge past the Gunners once again. The Magpies have won three of their last four games with Arsenal, two of which have come this season. A depleted Gunners squad that has lost key players to injury might find it challenging to pose a serious test for Howe’s team. So we expect Newcastle to win the game or settle for a draw.
Both Teams To Score – No @ 2.10 (10/9)
2 (67%)
(33%) 1
Newcastle might resolve to play a defensive game to protect their lead, which could result in a clean sheet in the match. Notably, Arsenal has not scored against Newcastle in all their two meetings this season and might find breaking through the Magpies’ defense challenging. Additionally, there have been 13 clean sheets in their previous 14 meetings across all competitions. So, we didn’t expect both teams to net in this match. EFL Cup 24/25 betting odds for this option currently stand at 2.10 (10/9).
Alexander Isak To Score Anytime @ 3.00 (2/1)
3 (100%)
0
Alexander Isak remains the main man in Newcastle’s attack, and his contribution has been crucial to their recent wins in all competitions. He has netted 19 goals in his 26 appearances for the Magpies this season. Two of those goals have come in the EFL Cup. Notably, Isak has netted in his last two meetings with the Gunners. With support from Gordon and Murphy, we expect him to be the difference maker again in this game.
