Newcastle vs Fulham Bet Builder Tip
Anthony Gordon to score
Anthony Gordon has scored in three of his last four appearances for Newcastle and has registered ten goal contributions in all competitions this season.
Harry Wilson to score or assist
Harry Wilson was the star of the show in Fulham’s 3-2 win over Burnley as he played a part in all three goals, meaning he has now scored seven and assisted four in his last eight games for club and country.
Raul Jimenez to commit 2+ fouls
Raul Jimenez has committed 26 fouls for Fulham this season and his two fouls against Burnley means he has committed two or more fouls in five of his last seven appearances.
Bet to Net Best Bet Tip
Anthony Gordon has scored in three of his last four appearances for Newcastle to take his tally to seven competitive goals for the campaign.
Both Teams to Score & Win Best Bet Tip
Newcastle have won seven of their last eight at home and face a defensively frail Fulham side that have conceded eight times in their last three, but the Cottagers pose a threat going forward and can find the net in defeat.
Cardiff vs Chelsea Bet Builder Tip
Tyrique George to score anytime
George has scored in both of Chelsea’s previous two ties in this competition, while he also found the net against Ajax in the Champions League. He should prove too strong for League One opposition, so back him for a goal.
Jamie Gittens to make an assist
Gittens made two assists in a start at Wolves in the last round, while he teed up goals at Burnley and Leeds in recent trips. He should create chances against League One opposition, so back him for another assist.
Facundo Buonanotte to be carded
Buonanotte already has one booking despite limited minutes for Chelsea this term, while he’s made six fouls across his two EFL Cup appearances. The midfielder was cautioned eight times for Leicester last term and seven for Brighton in 2023/24, so he’s a big price for a booking given his high-foul rate.
Over 4.5 cards
Chelsea were booked four times in their win over Lincoln, with the League One side being booked three times. The Blues were shown six bookings in their win at Wolves, while drawing three. Their inexperienced second-string lacks discipline, while the atmosphere should contribute to a night with plenty of cards.
EFL Cup Goals Treble Tip
Chelsea have conceded four goals across the previous two rounds, seeing off Lincoln 2-1 and Wolves 4-3. Cardiff have won their last five League One games, scoring 14 times, while they’ve netted at least twice in all four rounds of this competition so far.
Manchester City have scored 16 goals across their last five matches and have notched three or more in four of those. They face a Brentford side that have lost their last four away games, conceding multiple goals in each of those defeats.
Newcastle may have been beaten in the Tyne-Wear derby at the weekend, but the League Cup champions have won seven and drawn one of their last eight at home and have scored twice or more in each of those, while Fulham have conceded eight goals in their last three fixtures.
Both Teams to Score & Win Best Bet Tip
Chelsea have conceded four goals across the previous two rounds, seeing off Lincoln 2-1 and Wolves 4-3. Cardiff have won their last five League One games, scoring 14 times, so back them to get on the scoresheet in a loss to Premier League opposition.
Bet to Net Best Bet Tip
George has scored in both of Chelsea’s previous two ties in this competition, while he also found the net against Ajax in the Champions League. He should prove too strong for League One opposition, so back him for a goal.
