StevieDay1983 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 EFL Cup 1st Round matches give us the first midweek football action of the new season in the UK. There are also a few Scottish League Cup games. A lot of interesting games here. I know a lot of you guys aren't too enthusiastic about these early rounds of the EFL Cup but, personally, I think some great value can be had. @DW_United, @sajtion, @andrewcalo, @Mindfulness, @Sir Puntalot, @betcatalog, @AndreBR, @mrclubbie, @neilovan, @Judeksi, @KikoCy, @Bett, @zemo91, @sm0kez, @Bronxie, @Duuc, @Dylan Lynch, @Tiffy, @WinningAdvice, @Kenton Schweppes, @canaries91, @CloughandTaylor, @rangers234, @skyblues88, @luizcknc, @WiggoBets, @The Sexless Innkeeper, @myleftfoot, @willie82, @Bobby Vegas, @allyhibs, @salmonman, @allthethings, @Icongene, @Tanktop, @waynecoyne, @kulikTS, @KingSoccertips, @Pipoca, @Neubs, and @MuineBheag, looking forward to hearing your views!

StevieDay1983 Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 Right, guys, I've added the Scottish League Cup odds to the EFL Cup odds. Here is the complete UK list of midweek matches. Get involved with your tips! Has the weekend action affected your views on any teams? Anyone dare back Yeovil?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiggoBets Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Gillingham at reading could be one of the shocks of the round. Reading appear to have a huge injury crisis already and couldn't even name a full bench at qpr on Saturday, so it's unlikely Stam will play many of their remaining healthy first teamers and risk further injuries. I think 8/1 is too big for Gillingham, and 7/2 for them to qualify is decent value too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJG Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 St Johnstone are a great price at home to partick thistle 21/20 at betfair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Schweppes Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 We've all been stung by these games before many times. Nothing much stands out immediately, maybe Lincoln at Rotherham. Might call for a 7 team favourite acca or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sajtion Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 cup matches are not easiest games to predict but btts is my favorite market for these types of games. it's early to think that some managers at least won't have a go early now and it's not like they are in mid season or fighting relegation to prioritise something else at this moment. i know few teams had bad start to the league over the weekend and will want a win under their belt. i'm looking at birmingham, norwich, mansfield, millwall, reading, wolverhampton to get the wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiffy Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Luton V Ipswich Luton will have their tails up after thrashing Yeovil on the first day of the season. They will be full of confidence, and at home against an Ipswich side who we put out of the FA Cup in our last meeting at Kenilworth Rd. Luton to win 3.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sexless Innkeeper Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Thanks for the mention @StevieDay1983 but I think I'm gonna skip this midweek and join you guys for the weekend prediction. I'll be reading and backing some of the tips for sure today and tomorrow but nothings stands out for me enough to make a prediction.

Bobby Vegas Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Difficult to call on a lot of these as more and more teams seem to be resting players. With that in mind I think I'll go for an accumulator. with the exception of Birmingham, I expect all the teams I've backed to be strong this season whereas I expect their opponents to be near the bottom. Difficult to predict at this stage with the lack of competitive games Wolves to beat Yeovil Luton to beat Ipswich Birmingham to beat Crawley Southend to beat Newport and I've lumped in Gateshead to beat Guiseley from the National League. five fold 1pt @ 13.69 with Bet365 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not necessarily a bad thing as there were a few players on the bench on Saturday whose inclusion would improve us. I wouldn't want to see too many changes but would see the likes of Darren Oldaker or/and Josh Wright in for Mark Byrne, Liam Nash and Conor Wilkinson for Tom Eaves and Josh Parker as positive moves.

allyhibs Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Very strong starting 11 for Hibs tonight, Hibs -1 at 1.60 looks overpriced. We'll win this by a few. Tiffy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quality win for them here and I really do think they will defy a lot of people tipping them to be relegated this coming season. Personally, I'm just glad to see Cardiff get past a very difficult Portsmouth side. Ironic that our worst player scored the winner! I was always a big fan of Greg Halford throughout his career but he's a liability now. Well, most of the time he is! The game I think could deliver an upset tonight is Crewe versus Bolton. Parkinson is renowned for his expertise in the cup competitions but Bolton have a massive task staying up this season. I think he will field a reserve side and a team like Crewe will relish that. I can't see the favourites falling at the first hurdle in any of the other games. Tiffy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
