LiontipsNewcastle United vs Burnley. Prediction and Betting Tips for EFL Cup (August 25, 2021).
Command Analysis
Newcastle cannot boast of outstanding successes in the League Cup: they have never won this trophy. In recent years, the Magpies spend more time fighting to avoid relegation than competing for trophies or European football. Last season, Steve Bruce's charges finished only 12th in the Premier League standings. In the new 2021/2022 season of the Premier League, Newcastle started with two defeats. On the weekend, the Magpies lost to Aston Villa (0:2).
To be fair, Newcastle are weakened by many injuries. Steve Bruce will be unable to call upon the services of Martin Dubravka, Paul Dummett, Jonjo Shelvey, Karl Darlow, and Elliot Anderson.
Burnleyalso constantly struggle to maintain their residence in the Premier League. Last season they finished only 17th. Sean Dyche's men had a poor start to the new season as well: they lost both first fixtures, making multiple mistakes in attack and defense. On the weekend, the Clarets lost away to Liverpool (0:2).
Dale Stevens and Kevin Long will both miss the game, but either than that, Burnley do not have injuries.

Tip and bets
Both teams had bad starts to the season. This head-to-head match is a great chance for them to make up for the recent defeats. The Magpies have a slight edge in this fixture because they are playing at home. The Clarets usually don't do well away.
In the game between the two outsiders in the Premier League, we bet on Newcastle to win.
Both Newcastle and Burnley had defensive problems at the start of the season. We believe that will lead to a large number of goals in the head-to-head match. The odds for a high-scoring game are quite high.
Second wager - total over 4 goals.
