Betting odds for Saints semi-final at St. Mary's

Newcastle United will be hoping to take a major step towards silverware as the Carabao Cup takes centre stage on Tuesday with a semi-final trip to the south coast to face Southampton.

And club partners BoyleSports have a fantastic football betting offer for the Toon Army ahead of the 8pm (GMT) kick-off.

Following the 2-1 victory away at Tranmere in the second round, Eddie Howe's men have accounted for three Premier League sides in their run to the last four and supporters can travel to the first leg buoyed by a strong recent head-to-head record, with only one defeat in the previous 11 meetings with the Saints.

The most recent of those was a 4-1 Premier League victory at St. Mary's in November, which means Newcastle have now returned victorious from three of their last four visits to Southampton.

The recent history of the fixture also suggests goals will be on the menu on Tuesday evening, as the last four meetings have produced an average of just over four goals per game. Anyone keeping a close eye on statistics may also have noticed an eye-catching spate of corners in Newcastle's recent outings - 16 were awarded in the quarter-final clash with Leicester City, while subsequent league games against Fulham and Crystal Palace featured 15 and 18 respectively.

These hot stats form part of this week's BoyleSports BetBuilder, which allows you to customise your own football bets by combining multiple selections from various markets into one single bet.
