In the EFL Cup game between Newcastle and Fulham, two players have been picked out to receive cards.
Sasa Lukic has seven total cards this season across all competitions, and that's despite losing his place in the Fulham first team. With squad rotation, he's set to be given another chance here, but that could mean another card.
Dan Burn isn't guaranteed to play in this one, but if he can, he will, after an injury on Sunday. He's in the middle of everything that happens across the Newcastle back line, resulting in eight cards so far across all competitions. If he does play, there's plenty of speed up top for Fulham, which could cause him problems.

What is Card Betting?
Card betting tips have become a go-to for punters looking for value in football markets. While goals and shots can be hit and miss, every player on the pitch is a potential card waiting to happen – whether it’s a mistimed tackle, dissent, or just breaking up play.
Card betting involves backing a player to be shown a yellow or red card during a match, but it can also include markets like total cards in a game, most carded team, or over/under card lines for each side. It's a flexible market that often gets overlooked but can offer solid returns.
One of the best ways to use card betting tips is in a bet builder, where adding a well-researched card pick can really boost your odds. With more focus than ever on referee decisions, VAR, and player discipline stats, we’ve got loads of data to work with – from which refs are card-happy, to which players regularly find themselves in the book.
Because of all that info, card betting tips can actually be one of the more predictable football betting markets out there – especially when you’re clued up on the match-ups, the officials, and the individual tendencies of players.
How to Bet on Cards?
Card betting tips are a great way to get involved in one of football’s growing betting markets. It’s a simple concept, with plenty of flexibility—whether you’re placing a single, a double, going for an acca, or adding cards to your bet builder.
If you’ve got a feeling that a certain player is heading for the referee’s notebook, you can back them to be carded at available odds. But there’s more to it than just picking names at random. With our card betting tips, we’ll break down the key stats and trends behind each game to help you make more informed choices—and boost your potential returns by combining several picks.
You’re not just limited to individual players either. You can bet on the total number of cards in a game, the number shown to each team, or even go with markets like over/under three yellow cards or both teams to receive a card. These can be placed as standalone bets, included in a match-specific bet builder, or rolled into an accumulator across multiple games or leagues.
Whether you’re targeting big odds or just want a fun flutter, our card betting tips will help point you in the right direction.
