carabao cup predictions

Leyton Orient vs Tottenham Hotspur

Date and time: September 22nd, 6pm

Location: Breyer Group Stadium

Tottenham have a really busy schedule coming up, and although they scored five at Southampton on Sunday, Jose Mourinho is likely to change his side. Spurs will be expected to win this game comfortably, but they often struggle to break teams down away from home. Towards the end of last season, they scored more than once in just one of four away games.

Over/Under 2.5 goals: Under 27/20 @ Bet365

Newport County vs Watford

Date and time: September 22nd, 7pm

Location: Rodney Parade

Neither Newport County nor Watford have been in the goals of late. The Hornets have scored just once in two Championship games since their return, while the hosts in this one have seen under 2.5 goals in five of their last six games. This one might just have the makings of an upset, and the tighter it is the happier Newport will be. We really don’t see a classic either way, though.

Over/Under 2.5 goals: Under 11/10 @ Bet365

West Brom vs Brentford

Date and time: September 22nd, 7pm

Location: The Hawthorns

West Brom have made a difficult start to life back in the Premier League, losing twice and conceding eight goals. They face the side they narrowly beat to promotion last season, Brentford, on Tuesday. Even after the sale of Ollie Watkins and the expected departure of Said Benrahma, Thomas Frank’s men have scored five goals in their last two. This game surely has goals written all over it. 

Over/Under 2.5 goals: Over 19/20 @ Bet365

West Ham United vs Hull City

Date and time: September 22nd, 7:30pm

Location: London Stadium

It has been a mixed start to the season for West Ham, but they showed their quality in the last round of the Carabao Cup with a 3-0 win over Charlton. Hull City beat Leeds United on penalties at Elland Road, and they have only conceded once in three games. But West Ham have a lot of attacking talent, with Sebastian Haller scoring twice against Charlton. They’ll fancy themselves to wrack up the goals here.

Over/Under 2.5 goals: Over 7/10 @ Bet365

Luton Town vs Manchester United

Date and time: September 22nd, 8:15pm

Location: Kenilworth Road

Manchester United will be desperate for an instant response after defeat at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday night. They face a Luton Town side who have won their last two games to set a good pace in the Championship, while also scoring in each of their last six games. United have kept just two clean sheets in that time, so you can expect goals here and a potentially tough evening for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men.

Over/Under 2.5 goals: Over 4/7 @ Bet365
