Newcastle will be aiming to put an end to their four-game winless run in all competitions when they welcome West Brom to St James’ Park in the EFL Cup. The Magpies can take confidence from their impressive 2-2 draw with Liverpool in the Premier League opener, despite conceding a late equaliser. New boss Matthias Jaissle is still searching for his first victory, while Jacob Murphy, Joe Willock and Jacob Ramsey are all pushing for a start. Murphy, Willock and Ramsey are the full names of the three players mentioned.
West Brom, meanwhile, have made a perfect start to the new campaign and will be hoping to maintain their momentum after a convincing 3-1 win over Burnley. The Baggies have won eight of their last 10 matches, averaging 2.60 goals per game, while their away record is particularly impressive, with four wins from their last five outings. Isaac Price will be the man to watch after scoring a brace at the weekend. However, Newcastle have won nine of the last 21 H2H meetings, with 71% of those encounters seeing both teams score.
Given Newcastle's home advantage and the strong performance against Liverpool, punters worldwide can find value in betting on Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (57% of the last 21 H2H meetings produced at least three goals, while Newcastle's recent games average 3.20 goals).
This EFL Cup match will be played on Wednesday 26 August 2026 at 19:45.
