Our prediction for the match Liverpool vs Newcastle United
The teams had different seasons. Klopp won the League Cup in his last year in the Foggy Albion and raised his footballers to 3rd place in the Premier League. Their opponents were drained by their performance in the Champions League, where they returned after 2 decades. As a result, the club barely finished in 7th place at the inner arena, and Manchester United’s victory in the cup did not even allow it to qualify for the Europa League.
Now both clubs have shown noticeable progress (especially Liverpool under the leadership of Slot). There were also misfires, such as the defeat made by Plymouth in the cup meeting. Speaking about the Champions League, the best result of the main stage (7 wins in a row!) sent the club to the 1/8 finals, where it had to fight off PSG with the help of Alisson. In Paris, the team won absolutely by accident. As for the home struggle, it conceded, and never responded, eventually being eliminated on penalties. As a result, only the following final remains. After all, the club had created a comfortable gap of 15 points in the Premier League before the spring. Southampton scored first in the previous round, but ultimately lost with a 1-3 score. Eddie Howe’s footballers, after a strong segment with 9 wins in a row, have seen their number of defeats increase since mid-January, including losing to Brighton in the cup meeting (although West Ham was beaten in the previous round – 1-0).
Speaking about the League Cup, Salah and the company overcame with West Ham, Brighton and Southampton. And having lost with a 0-1 score in the semi-final in London, the team crushed Tottenham on the native field. Newcastle beat Nottingham Forest only on penalties after a draw. Still, then the team dealt with Wimbledon, Chelsea and Brentford. The semi-final confrontation was won – a 2-0 success against Arsenal twice.
