Over 2.5 Goals
Newcastle travel to Merseyside to take on League Two side Tranmere in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, where the Magpies could have too much firepower for their hosts. Eddie Howe’s troops are playing with bags of confidence at present, as evidenced by Newcastle’s pulsating 3-3 draw with Man City on Sunday. Changes are expected to their XI in midweek, though the gap in class between Newcastle and Tranmere should still be telling. Expect a routine evening’s action for the Premier League side, with plenty of chances to convert.
Newcastle to Score in Both Halves
Newcastle managed to notch in both halves against Man City on Sunday and the Magpies have enough quality in forward areas to repeat the trick against Tranmere on Wednesday. Rovers conceded twice in the first half alone at Newport at the weekend in League Two and the same backline should find it even tougher to cope with the Premier League quality that this week’s opponents wield. Bettors therefore, could find joy with a stake on the Magpies to net in both halves at Prenton Park.
