Liverpool’s Mo Salah leads the value betting for Sunday’s Carabao League Cup Final. The “Egyptian Prince” has bagged 10 goals in 14 games versus the Magpies and is well-priced at 13/10 (43.5% implied probability) to keep his imperious run alive.
Like a fine wine, Salah (32) is getting better with age. He’s already scored 30 goals this season, with 21 assists from 38 games, and with nine league games to go.
As if things didn’t look difficult enough for Newcastle, manager Eddie Howe confirmed teenage sensation Lewis Hall’s foot injury would keep him sidelined for the final, leaving them drastically short of options to stop Salah scoring.
Mo Salah at 13/10 anytime scorer is our League Cup value bet and is best priced with bet365. New accounts can claim a £30 free bet when you bet £10+.
The Reds go into the game as strong 4/6 favourites, and rightly so. They’ve not lost to Newcastle since December 2015 and sit pretty on an 18-game unbeaten streak.
Crashing out of the Champions League mid-week to PSG won’t deter the punters, and even though a short price, 4/6 looks like good value on Liverpool to win in 90 minutes.
Injuries to Sven Botman and Lewis Hall, as well as the suspended Anthony Gordon, means the Geordies will rely on their silky Swedish talisman, Alexander Isak, more than ever.
He’s priced at 12/5 to score anytime and, like Salah, has been in red-hot form this season, with 19 goals and five assists in 25 games. If Newcastle are to end the trophy drought, Isak must be firing on all cylinders.
An anytime goalscorer double for Salah and Isak returns £65.60 from a £10 bet at Unibet. New customers can claim a £40 free bet when you bet £10 on Sunday’s Carabao League Cup final.
