All eyes will be on St. James’ Park when Newcastle United and Manchester City lock horns in the EFL Cup semis. Given the attacking potentials of both sides, a high-scoring 2-2 draw is on the cards. The Magpies are on a three-game winning run in the Premier League, with the team heading into Tuesday’s clash following a hard-fought FA Cup win over Bournemouth. The fact that Eddie Howe’s men have been scoring 2.50 goals per game at home of late definitely supports our betting prediction. Both Anthony Elanga and Jacob Murphy remain doubtful for the hosts.
The Citizens, on the other hand, rolled over lower-league side Exeter 10-1 in the FA Cup last 64. Man City have been scoring 1.75 goals per away game and we predict that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Newcastle United. Left-back Ait Nouri is unlikely to start despite returning from international duty, while pacey winger is a major doubt. As always, Erling Haaland will lead the line for Pep Guardiola’s team, which goes in favour of our betting angle.
In their last meeting at the venue, Newcastle United defeated Manchester City 2-1. Given the aforementioned statistical data, Over 2.5 goals seems like a sure bet, alongside Both Teams to Score and Erling Haaland to Score.
This EFL Cup match will be played on Tuesday 13 January 2026 at 20:00.
