The EFL Cup broke out in the North-East Cup, with Championship side New Zealand hosting Premier League rivals Newcastle United. The two rivals from the same city have been kicking each other to the ground every time they meet. Moreover, the Black Cats are keen on attacking at home, and Newcastle, who are full of injuries, will have a lot of goals, so we will take the over-under of 2.5 goals.

New Zealand, once a sinking team, has been on the rise in recent years. Last season they returned to the Championship and this season they are at the top of the table, continuing to make progress. "The Black Cats' team does not have much star power, but the most famous Real Madrid midfielder Zubi Beningham ...... is an 18 year old midfielder who is really leading the team, while striker Jack Kichler has scored 12 goals in the league this season, which is very smooth. They are very aggressive at home, with 6 out of their last 8 home matches scoring 3 or more goals.
Although Newcastle is a level above Newland, they have a large number of injuries, including the jittery Steelmen Nick Purby, Colin Wilson, Jebbia, Zurveloque, Jaeger and Mephie and so on, so no wonder they have only 1 draw and 3 defeats in the last 4 official matches.
