Last season, Newcastle came close to winning the League Cup. The “Magpies” reached the final but were defeated by Manchester United (0-2) in the decisive match. It was the best performance in the competition for the team in its entire history. In the current season, Newcastle has not been consistent in the Premier League. They have managed to collect nine points in six rounds, putting them in eighth place. In the last round, under Eddie Howe’s guidance, they demolished Sheffield United away with an impressive score of 8-0. Their start in the Champions League can be considered successful, as they secured an away draw (0-0) against Milan.
Manchester City immediately signaled their intentions for the season. In the Premier League, the “Citizens” are unbeaten, with 18 points from six rounds. Their start in the Champions League also went smoothly as they defeated Crvena Zvezda 3-1 at home. As a result, Pep Guardiola’s team is on an eight-match unbeaten streak in official matches. Next up is the start of the League Cup, where Manchester City has won the trophy five times in their history of participation. A year ago, they made it to the quarter-finals but couldn’t overcome Southampton (0-2). More 2 odds soccer prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
