Eddie Howe’s Newcastle responded to their first defeat of the season with a strong draw against Manchester City last Saturday.
However, it’s important to assess their issues before making a Newcastle vs Wimbledon prediction. The Magpies have struggled in the final third throughout the season. Their expected goals (xG) from corners, set pieces, and direct freekicks are all lower than their averages from 2023-24.
Despite these challenges, Newcastle’s recent history in cup competitions cannot be overlooked. They have consistently performed well, reaching at least the quarterfinal stage in three of the last four seasons, including a final appearance in the 2022-23 season. This track record means that they are the favourites for this cup clash, even when their results in the Premier League have been mixed.
Despite playing in the third round for the first time since the 2021-22 campaign, Wimbledon will be looking to avoid crashing out at an early stage. They have exited the Carabao Cup in the tournament’s opening round in three of the last four seasons.
Confidence would have been gained from their domestic start to the season in League Two after winning four of their six matches and suffering just one defeat. They should also come into this showdown fresh after having their last two matches postponed.
They currently sit in a playoff spot, and it could be worth considering before making a Newcastle vs Wimbledon prediction that they have kept clean sheets in their previous two.
Bet herePremier League quality could be the decisive factor when making a Newcastle vs Wimbledon prediction this week. Howe will likely make changes after the visit of Man City on Saturday, but Newcastle will likely have enough in reserve to get over the line this week.
Harvey Barnes will be a standout bet on Tuesday. The England international has scored three in six this season. He will pick up the workload in the final third, with Alexander Isak likely to be rested.
