EFL Cup final picks for Newcastle vs. Liverpool
Before tuning into Sunday’s match, you need to see the EFL Cup final picks from SportsLine soccer expert Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Last year, he was profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks, including Euro qualifying (+6.30 units), the EFL Cup (+4.47), the FA Cup (+3.07) and the Champions League (+3.05) among others.
For Liverpool vs. Newcastle, Green is backing under 2.5 goals to be scored for a +125 payout. These teams have generated plenty of goals when they have played each other in recent history, but the expert believes injuries and fatigue could play a role in Sunday’s marquee matchup.
Liverpool will be missing Trent Alexander-Arnold and Conor Bradley due to injury, and the team will have to rally after a frustrating match against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League Round of 16 during the week. Newcastle will also miss some key players, as forward Anthony Gordon is suspended and defenders Sven Botman and Lewis Hall are injured.
Green notes that Liverpool have more experience winning in big games and “know how to get the job done” to win a major trophy. Nonetheless, he isn’t anticipating a high-scoring match on Sunday.
“Newcastle are strong in midfield, but the absence of Gordon is a major blow and Isak doesn’t look 100% healthy either,” Green told SportsLine. “As such, this could be a relatively tight, tense game, without too many chances in front of goal.” Stream the game here and check out full soccer coverage on CBS Sports Golazo Network.
