Manchester United vs Newcastle Prediction & Betting Tips - Carabao Cup

Manchester United are the clear form pick to win the Carabao Cup final. They are unbeaten in their last nine games with the most recent win being the 2-1 home victory over Barcelona. The only loss sustained in their last 20 competitive matches was away at league leaders Arsenal and that was to a very late goal. United have scored at least twice in each of their last ten matches. Marcus Rashford has been prolific since the season resumed (and didn't do too bad in the World Cup either). He's scored 16 goals in his last 18 games and his blank against Barca ended a run of scoring in six straight matches. United beat Aston Villa, Burnley, Charlton and Nottingham Forest to reach this final, not the hardest route to the final. Away from Old Trafford, they have only that loss to the Gunners in their last seven competitive fixtures with Rashford scoring in five of the last six.

Newcastle United have been struggling for wins of late. They come into this final without a win in their last three matches. Their most recent match was a 2-0 home loss to Liverpool. Before that, they'd had two 1-1 draws with West Ham United and Bournemouth who are both struggling at the bottom of the Premier League. The goals aren't flowing for Newcastle with only two scored in the last three matches. Only twice in their last 11 league and cup games have they scored more than once. Away from home, United have only one win in their last five games with three draws and just three goals scored. That one win was important though as it was the 1-0 win at Southampton in the first leg of the semi-finals. To reach this final, the Magpies have beaten Tranmere Rovers (who they trailed 1-0 to), Crystal Palace (on penalties), Bournemouth, Leicester and Southampton.
