Match preview

Millwall host Newcastle in the Round of 32 of the EFL Cup, looking to build on their recent 4-0 victory against Bolton. The Lions have displayed high-scoring tendencies across recent outings, also picking up wins over Cambridge United and Norwich, though heavy defeats to Southampton and Wrexham highlighted defensive vulnerabilities. The hosts also navigate a crowded treatment room, with several players sidelined including A. Doughty, M. Ivanovic, R. Leonard, M. Luongo, and M. Servais.

Newcastle enter the fixture on a five-match unbeaten run across all competitions, featuring a 2-0 away triumph at Tottenham and a 3-2 cup victory over West Brom. The Magpies have shown consistent potency in attack, scoring at least twice in four of their last five matches, including 2-2 draws against Bournemouth and Liverpool. The visitors will have to cope without D. Burn, Joelinton, and W. Osula for this cup encounter.

With Newcastle maintaining steady offensive output and Millwall producing open, high-variance fixtures in recent weeks, the visitors hold the upper hand in squad quality and momentum to navigate this knockout clash.

Newcastle or Draw + Over 2.5 Goals
Confidence68%

Newcastle or Draw — 76% confidence

Newcastle arrive in steady form having gone undefeated across their last five matches, including an away win at Tottenham and a high-scoring victory over West Brom. Millwall have shown volatility with heavy losses to Southampton and Wrexham alongside their wins, and a lengthy list of injuries to key personnel such as M. Luongo and R. Leonard further tilts the balance toward the visitors avoiding defeat in ninety minutes.

Over 2.5 Goals — 68% confidence

Four of Millwall's last five games have produced three or more goals, including a 4-0 win against Bolton and a 5-1 loss to Southampton. Meanwhile, Newcastle have scored at least twice in four of their previous five outings, with matches against Bournemouth, West Brom, and Liverpool all clearing the 2.5 goal mark comfortably.

These two calls are about different parts of the match (double chance and total goals), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
