Manchester City – Newcastle Tip EFL Cup, semi-finals, second leg on Wednesday, 04/02/26 at 21:00
Just a few days ago, I wanted to speculate on a goal by Rayan Cherki for a Manchester City Newcastle tip at a betting provider with PayPal. For me, this seemed to be the ideal candidate for a goal bet until then.
But the Frenchman was substituted last Sunday against Tottenham with an injury, and that didn’t look good at all.
Jeremy Doku and Ruben Dias are also two other key players for the Citizens who could also miss the EFL Cup semi-final second leg on the side of the Sky Blues.
With so many question marks and the odds imbalance on the markets, which in my eyes is unfounded, I prefer to trust in the option Double Chance X2 at odds around 2.10.
Manchester City vs Newcastle AI Predictions:
Our internal football prediction model has looked at the most promising football bets in its Manchester City Newcastle AI forecast, which would be justified based on the data.
1st goal: I really like Newcastle. Especially since the odds of about 2.57 as well as the starting position represent favorable betting conditions. After all, the Magpies almost inevitably have to be more energetic from the start after the 0:2 in mid-January.
Especially because they want to set an example after the embarrassing 4-1 defeat at Anfield a few days ago. Overall, a useful piece of AI advice!
Predicted chance of winning:
| Victory Manchester City |

Win Newcastle |
| 53.2% |

23.1% |
However, I would like to put both hits at 1.57 on my betting slip with a comparatively much greater confidence.
Experience has shown that EFL Cup second legs are rich in goals, and if Newcastle actually take an early 1-0 lead, then you can also expect a fierce backlash from Guardiola’s team – after all, it shouldn’t be too long in coming!
