The Carabao Cup has never been a happy hunting ground for punters and tonight looks no different.
Premier League teams that have been participating in European competitions join the competition to make up the 32 teams in Round 3 and that's thrown up six ties between two top flight teams.
Pick of the bunch looks to be between Manchester City and last season's runners-up, Chelsea tomorrow.
Of course the World Cup is just around the corner so the starting XIs for the top teams could be barely recognisable from Saturday.
However, despite being viewed as the least important of the three domestic trophies it has been dominated by top six sides with 18 of the 22 editions of the competiton this century have been won by Manchester City (6), Liverpool (4), Manchester United (4), Chelsea (3), Spurs (1).
Backing the top sides (with the obvious exception of City and Chelsea who play each other) pays a 5/1 four-fold. It's by no means a shoe-in however; Arsenal host Brighton, Spurs make the tricky trip to Nottingham Forest. Liverpool welcome Derby and Manchester United get the chance to avenge their weekend defeat to Aston Villa at Old Trafford.
Aside from that this competition is best left alone.
In the Championship it's a surprise to see in-form Coventry City at even money to win against a struggling Wigan side. Viktor Gyökeres' sixth goal of the campaign secured the three points for Mark Robins' men at Watford at the weekend, whilst Wigan were denied all three points at Swansea by a late penalty.
It was the Latics' sixth game without a win (L5 D1), making it just one win in 9 – a run that's seen them slip to second bottom of the table. By contrast the Sky Blues have lost just one their last seven (W5 D1 L1) to climb up to 14th in the table.
In Scotland, Aberdeen can close the gap on Rangers to four points but their away from has been their achilles' heel this year.
The travel down to Livingston tonight and these are the kind of games they need to be winning if, as predicted by many at the start of the season, they're to cement third place in the Premiership.
They've won two of their last three visits to the Toni Macaroni. However Livi are just as unpredictable as the Dons and they've been pretty decent home. Apart from defeat to Ross County they've done everything you'd expect with four wins and their other two defeats were at the hands of Celtic and Rangers.
So it won't be an easy one for Jim Goodwin's side. With that in mind goals could be a good angle. Livi hit three at Rugby Park on Friday night whilst Aberdeen matches are averaging 3.69 goals per game. Over 2.5 goals pays 6/5.

Anyone see the card stats in the Argentina league play off final on Sunday between Boca juniors and racing ?.
10 reds and 12 yellow cards 😆😆.
All kicked off after racing scored the winner on 118 minutes then 7 reds were shown between the 124th and 130th minute, 3 were subs not even playing, the ref then blew the whistle with time to play on the clock and I guess he is now in hiding somewhere in Buenos Aires 🇦🇷
That ref is on his way to the world Cup according to talksport.
My mate sent me a screenshot of the stats and went and watched it on Yatube.
Crazy Argies a boy was red carded for what look like sarcastically clapping the ref rafter he looked on VAR. Turns out it’s a gesture that means we’re being robbed /the refs on the take!
Hi elvis yea crazy red card count.
I went on the inter vs juventus game
For cards..garbage from me lucky I not post it
No luck in the italian u19’s game last night finished 1-1 , pretty good card today just a case of picking the right games
Morning All
I also feel Coventry are a great bet today 👍🏽
Osasuna v Barca 830pm
With Real losing last night, and Barca wanting to save face dropping out of the CL, I reckon Barca start quickly tonight to wrap up the three points tp extend their lead to 5 points.. on these:

HELLO PAL @timmy2step, for your treble, what is betting option for Living vs Aberdeen and Brentford?
Not Timmy2steps, but going by the pricing I think it’s
Sheff Utd to win
Under 3.5 match goals in the Livi vs Aberdeen game, and
Brentford to win
Hello @richardo987
Yes as williegee says it’s sheffutd and brentford both to win. Livi/Aberdeen game under 3.5 mgs.
Stumbled at the first hurdle!
Sheff utd very disappointing after hammering Burnley last weekend .
Might attempt another £10-£1000 challenge in the run up to Christmas.

🇪🇸 ELCHE v GIRONA
Both Teams to Score
(19/20, bet365)
▪️NAP
Neither side have kept a clean sheet this season, Girona have seem BTTS in all league games bar two. Elche have been less sporadic with the goalscoring but really need to get going this season if they want to avoid being left rooted alone at the bottom.
H2H wise doesn’t support my bet at all but going with the recent form here.
Small stake for interest tomorrow morning in Ukraine.
11.00 Inhulets Petrove v Zorya Luhansk
Over 2.5 goals @1.95 (Bet365) ❌
Finished 1-0 with a missed penalty for Zorya.
Rangers B vs Hamilton
Any form of goals bets on this is recommended with over 2.5mgs good for any acca in my opinion. Can see both sides contributing.
Although Hamilton are three divisions above, the manager has admitted league points are the priority with a game on Friday night, and there will be rotation due to that and injury which is why I imagine Rangers B are odds on to win. Rangers are a team of young boys however and although talented and prolific goals wise , they are prone to letting in a few too. Rangers have seen 19 goals in their last 5 games (not including the 33 they seen in their uefa youth league games combined with a 2-6 and 2-3 in the last few weeks against Napoli and Ajax) with Hamilton seeing 17 and conceding most weeks.
Prices aren’t as generous as I hoped but a few that take my fancy. Going along so hoping the wind/rain doesn’t spoil what should be a good game. Was an awful October on a personal level so hoping November is kinder to me.
Over 3.5mgs & BTTS @ 4/5 (bet365) Nap

Over 4.5mgs @ 6/4 (bet365)

19.45 Glenavon v Glentoran
BTTS and over 2.5 goals @1.95 (Bet365/William Hill)
BTTS and over 3.5 goals @2.75 (Bet365)
It’s all about Glenavon and the H2H record for me in this game.
Glenavon has seen over 2.5 goals in 13/15 games and BTTS in 12/15 games.
Glentoran score a lot (27 in 11 games) but have only conceded 2 goals so far, so there have only been 3/15 BTTS – they have seen over 2.5 goals in 10/15 games though.
There have been 17 BTTS and 14 over 2.5 goals in the last 21 games between the two teams.
With Glenavon as the home team, all last 12 games have seen BTTS; 9/12 have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals and 7/12 BTTS and over 3.5 goals.
Good luck today.
Agree I’m from NI it’s a great fixture for goals
Glenavons games have been goal galore this season. I’m a glentoran fan and will be at the game myself, as good as we’ve been in terms of scoring and defending this year, this fixture is always a tricky one. Glenavon have put a few past the top teams already as well. I’m not touching it myself but I can definitely see goals 👍

Good afternoon, guys,
Today’s MAIN bet comes from Italy’s Serie A
Spezia vs Udinese, which kicks off at 17:30
BTTS & over 2.5 match goals @ 6/5 with Bet365
Spezia, although sitting just outside the relegation zone, have scored in 11 of
their last 12 home fixtures, netting 2+ goals on 7 occasions. they have also
conceded in 10 of said games, conceding 2+ on 7 occasions. BTTS & overs
has happened 9 times, over 2.5 match goals 11 times.
Apart from the last 2 away games for Udinese, which both ended 0 – 0, they
had managed to find the back of the net in the previous 11 games. They also
conceded in 12 of the 14 games prior to the two 0-0 draws.
The 5 H2H’s between these clubs have all been won by the away clubs (strangely),
but the 2 games played at the Stadio Alberto Picco finished with 1 – 0 wins
for Udinese, (doesn’t auger well for my forecast), hopefully this will be a more open
game.
Good luck with all bets tonight!!!
LOST – 1 -1 at half time, no goals second half!!!
