Before you tune in to Tuesday's match, you need to see the EFL Cup picks from 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 for anyone following him on betting apps and betting sites, 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 Arsenal vs. Newcastle, Green is backing the match to end in a draw for a plus-money payout. The expert acknowledges that Newcastle is the healthier team and has been in top form over their current undefeated stretch. That being said, Arsenal are still playing well despite dealing with a laundry list of injuries and could turn more attention to this competition with a Premier League title being such a long shot.
Green also notes that home field advantage has played a big role in the head-to-head matchup in recent seasons, which could give the injury-riddled Gunners a boost.
"Ultimately, they may cancel one another out and draw this game, setting the stage for an epic second leg next month," Green told SportsLine.
