Newcastle vs Arsenal Carabao Cup Prediction Match Details
The Carabao Cup will kick off its second round of the semifinal on Wednesday night, as Newcastle United will welcome Arsenal to St. James Park. Can the Gunners make a comeback in this game, or will the Magpies make the road to Wembley for the second time in three appearances?
Newcastle Preview & Form
Newcastle United will come into this match on their home soil with huge confidence following a 2-0 advantage over Arsenal in the first leg at the Emirates Stadium through goals from Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon. However, Eddie Howe’s men have struggled in recent games, losing their last two consecutive matches against Bournemouth and Fulham. Their two-match losing streak had seen them concede six goals at St. James Park, making the second leg a big test for Eddie Howe. It is worth mentioning that the Magpies have beaten the Gunners in each of their two meetings this season, with Alexander Isak scoring a goal in each of the games. A win or draw for the Magpies in this game would be enough to set their trip to Wembley Stadium.
Arsenal Preview & Form
Arsenal will arrive at St. James Park in huge desperation to recover from their 2-0 first-leg defeat in the competition to advance to their first Carabao Cup final since 2017/18. The Gunners are currently in an impressive run of form, having won each of their last four matches and being unbeaten in the last six games across all competitions. Over the weekend, Mikel Arteta’s men displayed a strong performance by beating the league-defending champions Manchester City 5-1 at the Emirates Stadium. The weekend victory will give the Gunners the confidence needed against Newcastle as they aim for their first victory at St. James’ Park in their third visit to the stadium. They are unbeaten in their last nine away matches, with both teams scoring in eight of the games.
