EFL Cup: Best three picks to bank on for Tuesday
After an interesting weekend of football matches across the globe, hostilities resume in midweek and we have rounded up on three EFL cup games that can be banked on for betting come Tuesday.
West Ham v Hull City
West Ham has started their league season with a pair of losses in the records already. The Hammers might have escaped a hammering by Arsenal last time out, but they still slipped to a 2-1 loss on the road nonetheless.
Hull City come to town on the back of a two-game winning streak in League One and were 1-0 winners at home against Crewe in their last league clash. They relied on penalties to claim the scalp of Leeds United in the EFL Cup. The hosts however, have recorded three of the last five overall wins in this fixture.
This one could be very close, it must be said. The reason to back this tip is the h2h history between these sides until now. Since 2010, the teams have met nine times overall, and the scoreline had gone over three goals only once in that period.
We predict that the match will not see more than three goals and the under 3.5 goals is priced at 1.51 odds by 1xbet.
West Brom v Brentford
The EFL cup is closing in on the final stage and thus, pits together two teams from last season Championship in the 1/16 finals round on Tuesday.
It will be a much-anticipated game in the tournament considering that both teams are evenly matched. The hosts 3-0 win against Harrogate Town put them through to this stage while Brentford took a 2-0 clean sheet win on the road against Southampton to reach here.
West Brom was thrashed 5-2 on the road against Everton in the last PL clash. Meanwhile, the Bees take to the field here on the back of a 3-0 home win against Huddersfield in the Championship.
We predict this to be a very close match with both sides getting on the score sheet considering their goal-scoring prowess in their previous matches.
BTTS to score option is priced at odds of 1.79 by BetWinner.
Leyton Orient v Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham was at their absolute best last time out, trouncing Southampton 2-5 on the road. Attacker Son Heung-Min was at his phenomenal best, and so was his partner Harry Kane.
Jose Mourinho’s men are firing on all cylinders, and further buoyed by the arrival of Gareth Bale as well, there’s no limit to what they can achieve as a club this season.
The team would surely love to keep the momentum going, and they have the perfect opportunity coming up for it.
Here, they take on a team from the fourth tier of English football, and considering that they put five past Southampton, one of the most competitive teams in the Premier League – it is envisaged this one should be a walk in the park for the Lily-whites. However, it is likely Mourinho will reshuffle his side for this game. But then, they should still have more than enough firepower to overcome Leyton.
Tottenham to win is priced at 1.185 odds by 22bet.
