Millwall - Newcastle United Betting Tip:

Newcastle arrive at The Den as holders of this competition and with an unbeaten start to the season behind them, so the short price is understandable. The team sheet is where it gets interesting. Dan Burn, Joelinton and William Osula are all unavailable, Matias Fernandez-Pardo is lined up for his first start since joining, and the frontline around him is expected to be squad players rather than the regular starters. Millwall are missing a long list of their own, but Alex Neil has them in decent shape and they put four past Bolton at the weekend without reply. A midweek cup night in Bermondsey against a rotated Premier League side is a genuinely awkward assignment. There is also a structural point worth noting: third round ties go straight to penalties if the ninety minutes finish level, so there is no extra time in which a favourite can stretch the margin. Millwall plus one covers a home win, a draw, and a single goal defeat. Between a Championship side in form at home and a reshuffled visiting eleven, that band of results covers most of the realistic ways this plays out, and near even money for it reads fair.
