Newcastle's superior squad depth and pedigree as defending champions make them favourites at 1.55, yet heavy rotation and a lengthy injury list could blunt their attacking edge. Millwall's physicality at The Den, fresh off that 4-0 demolition of Bolton, means a draw is plausible. Covering both outcomes offers solid value. We also lean towards under 2.5 goals at 2.05, given the likelihood of a changed Newcastle lineup struggling to break down a resolute Championship defence.
