Premium Tips
Andy is with Newcastle, whose quality should tell even with changes.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Elkan Baggott to be booked | 3/1 | Elkan Baggott is a physical, no-nonsense centre-half who tends to leave his mark, and a League Cup tie against Premier League opposition is just the sort of game where a Championship defender racks up fouls. Across his recent loan spells he has collected around seven yellow cards, including three in a season at Blackpool and two at Gillingham, off a steady stream of fouls and aerial duels. Up against Newcastle’s quick, direct forwards at The Den, the Millwall man shapes up as a strong candidate to go into the referee’s book. |
| Matias Fernandez-Pardo to score anytime | 9/5 | Matias Fernández-Pardo is a proven goalscorer, netting 12 times in 75 games during his time at Lille and firing in 50 shots on target along the way, so he carries a genuine threat whenever he plays. Newcastle are likely to rotate for this League Cup trip to The Den, handing their attackers minutes, and Millwall have looked leaky of late, shipping five at Southampton and three at home to Wrexham. With the forward eager for game time and the hosts vulnerable at the back, backing Fernández-Pardo to find the net anytime carries real appeal. |
