It's the EFL Cup semifinal on Wednesday between Manchester City and Newcastle United. After the 1st game, Man City is leading 2:0, and I'm predicting that City will win this game as well.
When teams met in January, City controlled the game, having 58% ball control. After the 1st half, the score was tied, but in the 2nd half, City managed to score twice, having an edge heading home.
Since that game, Newcastle has 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses. Over the weekend, Newcastle lost to Liverpool on the road 1:4, despite scoring 1st. Newcastle was unlucky to lose to Aston Villa at home, despite having a much better expected goal ratio. On the road, Newcastle drew against PSG in the last Champions League game, but they should have lost because of much worse xG. Newcastle struggles playing on the road, having 2 wins and 4 draws in 10 Premier League road games, having 11 total goals and 16 conceded. On the road, Newcastle has created an xG of 11.5, while xGA is at 14.
City lost to Man United and Bodo/Glimt in the following games after 1st duel against Newcastle, but beat Wolves and Galatasaray at home, while blowing 2:0 lead on the road against Tottenham, ending the match with 2:2. While there are some road issues, at home City is a different beast, having 9 wins and 2 draws in 12 home games, a total of 29 goals scored and 8 conceded. The team has created an xG of 26.9 at home, while xGA is at 13.3.
Manchester City should beat Newcastle United because they are far better at controlling games and pinning teams back for long stretches. Newcastle are most dangerous in transition, but City’s improved rest defense and pressing make those moments harder to find. Over 90 minutes, City’s sustained pressure and chance volume should tell.

这是周三的联赛杯半决赛，对手是曼城和纽卡斯尔联队。第一场比赛后，曼城以2:0领先，我预测曼城也会赢这场比赛。
当两队在一月份相遇时，曼城控制了比赛，控球率为58%。上半场结束后，比分打平，但在下半场，曼城设法梅开二度，领先回家。
自那场比赛以来，纽卡斯尔取得了1胜2平2负的战绩。上周末，纽卡斯尔在客场1:4输给了利物浦，尽管他们取得了第一名。纽卡斯尔在主场不幸输给了阿斯顿维拉，尽管他们的预期进球率要高得多。在客场，纽卡斯尔在上一场欧冠比赛中战平了巴黎圣日耳曼，但他们应该输掉比赛，因为他们的g值要差得多。纽卡斯尔在客场表现不佳，在10场英超客场比赛中2胜4平，总共进11球丢16球。在客场，纽卡斯尔创造了11.5的xG，而xGA是14。
在与纽卡斯尔的第一场对决之后，曼城在接下来的比赛中输给了曼联和博多/格里姆特，但在主场击败了狼队和加拉塔萨雷，在客场对阵热刺的比赛中失去了2:0的领先优势，以2:2结束了比赛。虽然有一些客场问题，但在主场，曼城是一个不同的野兽，在12场主场比赛中取得9胜2平，总共进29球丢8球。球队在主场的xG值为26.9，而xGA值为13.3。
曼城应该击败纽卡斯尔联队，因为他们在控制比赛和长时间压制对手方面要好得多。纽卡斯尔在换防时是最危险的，但是曼城在休息时的防守和压迫让他们很难找到换防的机会。在90分钟内，曼城持续的压力和机会量应该说明了这一点。
