LiontipsNewcastle vs Wimbledon: Predictions and Betting Tips for the English League Cup Match on October 1, 2024
Command Analysis
Current Form
Newcastle is currently showing inconsistent performance. In the league, they managed a solid victory against Tottenham (2-1) and a draw against Manchester City (1-1). However, they dropped points against clearly weaker sides like Bournemouth (1-1) and Fulham (1-3). These missteps have kept the hosts from breaking into the top tier, leaving them in seventh place. In the previous round of the League Cup, the Magpies faced another Premier League team, Nottingham Forest, and won in a penalty shootout.
Injuries and Suspensions
Wilson, Botman, Lascelles, Miley, and Targett are currently injured.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Newcastle has lost just one of their last nine matches
- They have scored in each of their last nine matches
Projected Lineup: Pope – Trippier, Schar, Burn, Hall – Guimarães, Tonali, Joelinton – Murphy, Almiron, Gordon

Wimbledon finished last season in tenth place in League Two, falling short of the playoff zone by five points. This campaign has started fairly well for the London club. In their last four matches, the team did not concede a single goal, securing three victories. These successes have propelled them to sixth place in the standings. Their only loss this season came against Bromley, with a score of 2-0. In the previous round of the League Cup, the hosts overcame Ipswich, defeating the Premier League side in a penalty shootout.

2.15Tip and bets
We do not anticipate a high-scoring match in this encounter. The home team will likely focus on their league performance, providing playing time to substitutes and younger players during the League Cup match. The visitors have already eliminated a Premier League club and will certainly pose a challenge to their formidable opponent.
Our prediction is an Asian handicap (+2.5) on Wimbledon at 1.70
Total Goals Bet
Wimbledon has struggled to find the net in recent matches but has excelled defensively, managing to keep a clean sheet in three games. While it’s unlikely the club can maintain this defensive strength, we anticipate a low-scoring affair.
Our prediction is a total of under 3.5 goals with odds of 1.85.
Corner Kicks Bet
Newcastle is expected to dominate possession throughout the match. This should lead to a significant advantage in corner kicks.
Our prediction is an Asian handicap of (-3.5) corners for Newcastle with odds of 1.75.
