The Carabao Cup, also known as the League Cup and EFL Cup, is the second club competition in the English leagues. Our Carabao Cup predictions and betting tips for the next round will be posted below as part of our football predictions series.
There are third round ties spread across this week starting tonight with five matches and you can see our Carabao Cup betting tips for all the week’s games below.
League Two side Newport County beat Cambridge United in the last round to set up this tie with Championship side Watford. The Welsh outfit picked up their first league win of the season at the weekend, beating Barrow 2-1.
For Watford, they have also picked up four points in the league so far, beating Middlesbrough 1-0 before a 0-0 draw with Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend. They needed penalties to get past Oxford United in the last round and that will give Newport some hope of victory tonight. It has been a low scoring start for both of these teams and we could have another low scoring match tonight so under 2.5 goals would be a good bet for any accumulator.
Even though Watford are strong favourites to win here, they might not have things their own way and a narrow victory could be their route into the next round. Our correct score tip for this match is a 1-0 Watford victory.
Under 2.5 goals – 21/10 with bet365.
Watford to win 1-0 – 7/1 with bet365.
The Baggies were thrashed 5-2 by Everton on Saturday but the scoreline doesn’t tell the whole story of the match. They were well in the game before Kieran Gibbs got sent off and even got back on level terms early in the second half. This will be a tough test for West Brom, against a Brentford side who pushed them all the way in the Championship last season.
West Brom won 3-0 against Harrogate in the previous round but this will be a much tougher test for their fringe players if Slavan Bilic makes the expected changes to his side once again.
The Bees won 2-0 at Southampton in the last round and then went on to beat Huddersfield 3-0 in the Championship at the weekend. Even without Ollie Watkins in the team, Brentford look set to push for a play-off place once again this season and I think they can pull off a shock tonight.
Brentford to win – 2/1 with William Hill.
Over 2.5 goals – 19/20 with William Hill.
It has been another tough couple of games for West Ham manager David Moyes and now he faces a tricky Carabao Cup tie at home to Hull. The Hammers were beaten 2-1 at Arsenal at the weekend to leave them with no points after two matches and David Moyes is favourite in the Premier League sack race. They did manage to beat Charlton 3-0 in the last round of this competition though.
Hull are now down in League One but have made a decent start to the season, winning both games so far. They’ve also beaten Sunderland and Leeds in the Carabao Cup, but did need penalties on both occasions.
For tonight’s prediction, both teams to score looks the best bet.
Both teams to score – Evens with bet365.
Luton Town have made a great start to the new season and now welcome the stars of Manchester United to Kenilworth Road. The Hatters have won both Championship fixtures so far and also beat Norwich and Reading in this competition. This will be a very different test but Manchester United will be smarting from their 3-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace at the weekend.
Solskjaer’s side were really poor on Saturday evening and changes will be made to their starting line-up for this one, so the likes of Mason Greenwood can be expected to start the match. The young Englishman would be a good bet to score anytime here in what should be an easy Manchester United victory.
Greenwood to score anytime – 6/4 with Paddy Power.
Man United to win 3-0 – 13/2 with Paddy Power.
