13 Premier League clubs enter the EFL Cup at the second round stage of the competition tonight. The draw is split in to Northern and Southern sections and as luck would have it just two top flight teams (Leeds Utd & Wolves) play at home tonight, which means there might be some giant-killing opportunities for lower league clubs.
Scott Brown pulled off an upset when his Fleetwood side knocked Championship side Wigan out in the last round but he could really announce his arrival on the managerial scene if the League One side can dispose of Everton this evening.
The Toffees have made an inauspicious start to the season so far. An 88th minute goal by Demarai Gray salvaged a late point on Saturday, their first in three games.
The clubs met in this competition two seasons ago when Everton won 5-2 at an empty Highbury Stadium due to Covid restrictions. Like in most games tonight any bets will hinge on team news ahead of the game and no doubt Frank Lampard will take the opportunity to give some fringe players a run out.
The underdogs are 11/2 to get the win. That might be a big ask but they could nick a goal at 4/6.
Burnley threw away a three-goal lead on Saturday to draw with Blackpool and it's been a tough start for Vincent Kompany at Turf Moor who's team sit 15 in the league after taking just six points from their opening five games. The cup could help Burnley kick-start their season if they can win at Shrewsbury.
They look well priced against a team the league below them who were soundly beaten by Ipswich at the weekend and sit 18th in League One. 19/20 for a side who were in the Premier League a matter of months ago against strugglers in the thired tier looks like a very good price.
Also a heads up that at this stage last season there were some big wins (8-0, 6-0, 6-0 & 6-0) and Skybet have picked out eight games, featuring Premier League sides away at Bolton, Fleetwood, Stockport, Cambridge, Crawley, Grimsby, Colchester and Oxford, for their Specials and the one that stands out is for their to be Over 26 goals across those matches at 5/4.
Go to Football > Specials > Competition Specials to get on it.
In the Champions League, two of tonight's ties are finely poised. Viktoria Plzen and Qarabag played out a 0-0 draw last week and it could be a close one again tonight. The Czech side have started the season unbeaten (W5 D3) and will be well rested after a weekend off. Qarabag too had a free weekend but will of course have to contend with a 3,500km trip as well as an effective 11pm kick-off based on Baku-time. That might swing things the home side's way at 21/20.
Red Star Belgrade will be confident of getting the job done against Maccabi Haifa in Serbia tonight. They led 2-1 at half-time before going down 3-2 and are 3/4 to get the win they need to progress.
Benfica look in a comfortable position, 2-0 up from the first leg against Dynamo Kiev in Poland. They were two up at the break last week and a repeat half-time/full-time win pays 10/11.

?????? SPAIN ??????
Girona v Getafe
21:00
Spanish La Liga
Both teams to score 13-10 (HILLS) ?? NAP ?? * ??
Head to head stats not great for this as they haven’t met for 3 years so it’s based on match situation and gut feeling , hence just the * NAP.
Both these lost their first games last week and both will struggle to avoid relegation this season.
Girona finished 6th in liga 2 and somehow won 3-1 at Tenerife in the play off to gain promotion.
Getafe somehow survived last season, luckily there were more shit teams than usual in la Liga last season.
There have been 4 head to head here in the past and 3 saw BTTS and girona scored in all 4.
BTTS were few and far between in both these teams games last season, both averaged under 50% BTTS which is below par, par for me is about 60% minimum, but I think with it being girona’s 1st game back in LA Liga the place will be rocking and it’s getafe who worry me here as they only won 1 away game and scored just 12 in 19 away games, but as an established la Liga team I’m hoping they see this as the sort of game they need points from……
Prediction draw.
Obviously 1-1 would be good here.
??????????????????
Finished 3-1
Prediction was wrong but the bet won ???⚽

On fire at the moment Hull. Keep it up mate
Hi Hull, Tried to stick these bets on yesterday however B365 has restricted my account . Is there any other bookie you know of cover this market. WH,Bway and Coral dont they only do goals.
Thanks all ?
Hi CG – I always use 365 for these types of combo bets in Iceland – WH do a similar system but not sure if available on Urvalsdeild games. Unibet are worth looking at for similar games too ?
Hull WH dont do corners in this league.
Outstanding form from both you and Elvis ??????

A bet I’m looking at for the weekend is for Over 1.5 first half goals in
Man City v Palace
Liverpool v Bournemouth
Chelsea v Leicester
It works out at around 9/1
Not a bet I’d usually do so going to give it a shot and see what happens.
?
Why not all home teams should win the corner market here too both halves.
Would anyone on here no if erikson had a shot on target for utd last nite thanks
Don’t know officially but Alisson definitely saved a cross/shot from one of his free kicks in the first 10 mins which looked to me to be on target…
Officially no. Opta classified his shot that was tipped round the post as a cross…
As far as I’m aware only one bookie has paid out on the shot after seeing the footage and that’s William Hill.
Opta drop a few of these every season. If you’ve lost out then make a complaint, get a final resolution and take through to IBAS. The bookies paid out last year, (after IBAS involvement), on a Zaha shot that was incorrectly classified as a cross.
He had one shoot on traget saved by Alison
Thanks for the help lass ya I list out how can they classify it as a cross it was a shot in target
Just been in touch with 365 refusing to pay out so how do I contact the regulator
Best of luck with it Lester.. that was a shot on target all day, how can anyone (other than the player) definitively say it was a cross, and even still, if it was meant as a cross and was on target then it became a shot, jokers
Seems like you can follow these steps to escalate your claim with IBAS: https://www.ibas-uk.com/consumers/claim-wizard
Best of luck!
FWIW, if you go to the whoscored [dot] com website and look at the match, they DO show Erikson having a SOT.
(I can’t post direct link without it going into moderation)
Lester1728…Definitely should be shot on target and if it’s official now as lads say above get on to Live Chat.
Bet365 don’t have anyone on the end of phone line as there still working from home etc??
Go to Help in your account that got your balance etc then scroll down to ‘contact us’ and do live chat,there actually quite quick and will tell you if there paying you although I think they would by now buy it’s worth an ask.
Ridiculous fizzy just filed complaint there problem wasting my time
In the last few minutes this has just been updated by Opta. They now agree that Erikson did have a shot on target.
(Updated stats now on the opta player stats website)
Turns out the constant hammering by thousands on punters on social media can work from time to time.
Should be updated by the bookies now. Keep chasing if not.
Updated offical stats here,

Rangers B vs Dumbarton
BTTS and over 2.5mgs @ 5/6 (Whill) Nap
Small stakes
Over 3.5mgs @ 6/4 (bet365)
Over 4.5mgs @ 10/3 (bet365)
Essentially a home game for both teams so no advantage for either. Both have been good for goals recently and can see both contributing, with Dumbarton planning a little bit of squad rotation.
Good luck ?
Strange that Rangers B are down as home team with the game at Dumbarton Stadium?
Do you know or remember Rangers reserves now colts or B(I think) as you say used to play at Dumbartons Stadium?
It was about a decade ago but I thought it had ended??
Used to go down a few nights and RFC first team players out the picture or coming back from injury would be playing.
Seen the likes of Reyna,Albertz and Kanchelskis swaggering about down Dumbarton stad amongst other international players I can’t think of right now.
Very scenic next to the Clyde and Castle but baltic most of the year! ?
I do indeed remember that, for some reason it’s always Christian Nerlinger I remember playing a lot of reserve team games!
They made Dumbarton their permanent ‘home’ stadium again when they were entered into the lowland league after a bit of bouncing about in the u21s.
I think it’s just the way they were drawn in the tie they are listed first though, as for instance tonight the Dumbarton fans are sitting in the home supporters section ( although with it all being the same stand I don’t think it will make any difference anyway ? ) ! Nice and scenic but an awful place to play or watch when the winds howling in off the water ?
Ah I see…I’m sure Dumbarton get a few Queen quids for that. There well run club financially and going well this season so here’s hoping they go up!
Aye it’s some stand to be in when it’s cold and windy! ?
What a place when the sun shines but It doesn’t happen enough but and obviously no football most of the times when it does,Ive recently moved or I might have went down tonight.
Rmember Nerligner for sure and just minded Scotland used to train there too when we were beyond terrible!
Few players got a few stinging lines under Vogt’s but all good fun with Maloney and other big waste of talent from Hibs? He ended up in Moscow …Gary O’Connor I think?
Good lad but what happened to him?
Off to work mate an just seen the score! ?
Not even a Dumbarton concelation goal?
Unlucky with your bet Bigwigg. ? ? ? ?
Update on the erikkson shot bet365 now saying its under review and Bets will be settled in due course some climbdown from earlier

Oxford v Crystal Palace
19:45
Carabao Cup (EFL Cup)
Oxford to score EVENS (NAP) ??????? HILLS ???????
Oxford have a good scoring record in this comp recently at home scoring against man city, west ham and Watford Peterborough Millwall and Swansea here in the last round all who were in higher leagues at the time.
Oxford have scored in their last 16 home competitive games also.
Palace have a rotten record in this cup, losing in this round for the last 4 years and not even scoring in those games.
This is a different palace though and talk is they will pick a decent team so they should beat a team 19th in league one.
All about attitude but I expect Oxford to have a right go and hopefully nick a goal here.

???NIGHT OWL ???
Tigres v Atlético Huila
midnight
Colombian Categoria
Hulia to score 5-6 ?? NB ??.
Side bet
BTTS 13-10
Both at HILLS……..
Tigers are crap regarding to goal totals, they average about 2 match goals per game.
Tigers win to nil at home is a common theme.
Hulia have scored in their last 7 games and average over 3 match goals.
Head to head is dreadful ?
So it’s good cop v bad cop.
Hoping good cop hulia score for an 8th game running and tigres get their usual home goal
Prediction 1-1
????????????
Good night and well done winners today ?
Hulia goal Elvis, I’m retsicted6wi a fiver a day but WD ?
