Newcastle boss Matthias Jaissle could see his unbeaten start to life with the club come under threat against Championship side Millwall on Tuesday . Making light of a host of summer departures, the Magpies have begun the season with five points from three Premier League games and a 3-2 Carabao Cup win over West Brom.
They now face another Championship side in the third round, and Millwall could give the Magpies a real run for their money at The Den despite being plagued by injuries. Alex Neil’s men fell just short in their bid for promotion last season, losing to Hull in the play-off semi-finals, but they look set to up there again this term after picking up nine points from a possible 15 so far.
Millwall’s Carabao Cup campaign has not been a comfortable one, beating QPR 2-0 on penalties after goalkeeper Lukas Jensen saved all four Rangers spot-kicks, before the Lions edged out League One Cambridge 1-0 in the second round.
We can see this match going the distance, with our opening Millwall vs Newcastle prediction being a draw @ 3/1 . We’re then backing Newcastle to keep their cool to qualify on penalties @ 11/2.

Form Guides
Millwall form guide
Millwall enjoyed an impressive second half to last season before running out of steam in the play-offs but showed no hangover as they got off to a flyer this term. Following Jansen’s match-winning cup heroics against QPR , Millwall reeled off successive Championship wins over Bristol City and Norwich before downing Cambridge - all without conceding a goal.
That 100 per cent start was ended by heavy defeats to Southampton (5-1) and winless Wrexham (3-0) but Neil’s troops responded with a 4-0 win over Bolton at the weekend, netting three times late on. Millwall were without 10 players for that match, including goalkeeper Jensen , and it remains to be seen who will be fit to face Newcastle .
The Lions lost on penalties to Crystal Palace at this stage of the Carabao Cup 12 months ago and more spot-kicks could be in store tomorrow. Looking at the Millwall vs Newcastle odds, you can get 7/1 for it to be 1-1 at full-time, which while a draw with BTTS is 4/1.
Newcastle form guide
Newcastle do not have any European football to contend with this season which means they can afford to throw their full might at the Carabao Cup. The Magpies won this competition in 2025 and Jaissle’s team selection for their second-round win over West Brom suggests they have their sights set on a repeat.
The German employed his first-choice defence in front of young goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen while Joe Willock also started and Harvey Barnes, Anthony Elanga , Lewis Miley and Yoane Wissa all came off the bench.
Jaissle must now decide who will feature at The Den , especially with a similarly-intimidating trip to Leeds up next in the Premier League , but he should know the risks if he gets his selection wrong. Newcastle are 11/8 to score in both halves, but we’re not expecting either side to run away with it and the match to be level at half-time and full-time is worthy of consideration @ 11/2.
