Newcastle vs Blackburn Predictions & Betting Tips

Newcastle vs Blackburn prediction and betting tips for the EFL Cup fixture on Tursday 15th September from St James Park. Kick-off is 7.30pm.

Newcastle will want to avoid a shock and build on their win over West Ham at the weekend. The League Cup is always tough to predict and Blackburn will fancy their chances of upsetting Steve Bruce’s side here. Rovers were beaten by Bournemouth at the weekend but if Newcastle make changes, they have a chance here.

 

Newcastle vs Blackburn Prediction

Callum Wilson hit the ground running for Newcastle at the weekend, scoring the opening goal in the 2-0 win over West Ham. It remains to be seen whether he starts this match on Tuesday night and his strike partner from Saturday’s game, Andy Carroll, is also unlikely to be in from the start given his injury worries.

Blackburn were beaten 3-2 by Bournemouth on Saturday and looking at their form, they have lost six of their last seven matches away from home. The last time Blackburn beat Premier League opposition was back in 2011 and so that stat doesn’t read well for their chances this week.

Even if Newcastle do make some changes to their starting line-up, their win over West Ham would be installed some early season confidence and Steve Bruce will want that to continue into the League Cup. With that in mind, our betting tips for this game will be around a Newcastle victory against a Blackburn side who have failed to score in four of their last seven away matches.
