Newcastle vs Fulham Tip EFL Cup, quarter-finals on Wednesday, 17.12.25 at 21:15
In the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup, Newcastle United and Fulham FC will face each other. Both clubs are not getting going in the Premier League and are currently bobbing around in the middle of the table. This makes it all the more important to regain confidence in the cup.
In fact, I expect an open exchange of blows in my Newcastle Fulham tip and commit to the football bet “Both teams to score” at odds around 1.75. The fact that I assume that both teams will play with their senior team plays a role here.
Defending champion Newcastle should have the better chance of reaching the semi-finals. The Magpies have lost only one of their last five competitive games and can also enjoy home advantage.
Newcastle vs Fulham AI Predictions:
In its very own Newcastle Fulham AI prediction, our AI model has three more tip alternatives in store for you.
First, the digital brain recommends the 1×2 tip “Win Newcastle” at a solid odds of around 1.70. That makes perfect sense, after all, Fulham have lost three of their last six competitive games and are on just two wins in the Premier League after eight away games.
In the last round of the EFL Cup, they only advanced on penalties against the lower-class Wycombe Wanderers.
Predicted chance of winning:

The odds around 1.50 are rather generous in view of the Magpies’ role as favorites and, in my opinion, are one of the value bets of this pairing.
The AI also recommends a result tip. “2-1 for Newcastle” brings it to a solid odds of about 8.50. Currently, the bookmakers are only quoting two results even lower – the 1-1 and the 1-0 home win (both around 7.70).
