See AllIn The Mixer EFL Cup Mega Accumulator Tip
Coventry should be too strong for their Championship rivals and are fancied to come out on top.
Brentford reached the quarter-finals of this competition last season and look overpriced to beat Bournemouth in a clash of clubs that sold the family silver this summer.
Cambridge are unbeaten at home this season and they look worth backing in the double chance market, as they look to cause a cup upset.
North End are unbeaten after four games this season and the early signs suggest they will be a force at home this term, having claimed victories over two of the relegated teams at Deepdale. They can see off Championship rivals Wrexham in this EFL Cup tie.
Sunderland’s kind start to the season means their full focus needs to be on their league campaign. The Black Cats were eliminated at the first hurdle in both cups last season, so Huddersfield appeal on the double chance market to get a result at the Stadium of Light.
Stoke have started the season by posting three successive wins in the Championship and, while they were taken to penalties in the last round of the EFL Cup, they should be able to get past League One outfit Bradford City on Tuesday.
Bet Of The Day Tip
North End are unbeaten after four games this season and the early signs suggest they will be a force at home this term, having claimed victories over two of the relegated teams at Deepdale. They can see off Championship rivals Wrexham in this EFL Cup tie.
Goals Galore Double Tip
Sheffield Wednesday have conceded at least two goals in all four competitive games this season, but they have scored six times at the other end and may be able to get on the scoresheet against Yorkshire rivals Leeds. These teams can combine for at least four goals.
Three of Plymouth’s six games this season have gone over 3.5 goals and over 2.5 goals was a winning bet in both of the Championship meetings between these sides last season. Swansea’s league games have been low scoring but they won 3-1 against Crawley in the previous round of this competition so over 2.5 goals looks a solid option here.
Both Teams To Score & Win Treble Tip
Bournemouth picked up their first win of the season at home to Wolves on Saturday and were impressive in their opening-night trip to Anfield. They should have the beating of a Brentford side still adjusting to life under Keith Andrews. However, Brentford have scored once in both of their games this season and they should be able to get on the scoresheet in defeat at the Vitality Stadium.
Sunderland are likely to rotate for this cup game and they may concede against a Huddersfield side who are yet to draw a blank this term, hitting 12 goals across six games. The Terriers have managed just one clean sheet in their last 10 competitive away games, however, so goals at both ends looks likely. Sunderland picked up 43 points in 24 home games in the Championship last season and overcame West Ham in their only outing at the Stadium of Light so far this term, they can edge out the Terriers even if they do concede.
DFB Pokal holders Stuttgart have opened their season with successive defeats and have conceded in 19 of their last 23 competitive games, but they should get the win over a Braunschweig side that were beaten by Karlsruher on Saturday and only narrowly avoided 2. Bundesliga relegation last season.
