West Ham v Blackburn Rovers
Wednesday, November 9, 20:45 (GMT+1)
Betting tip: West Ham to win
Odds: 1.38 on Bet9ja
West Ham have not lost to Blackburn in the last 11 meetings and are stronger than the visitors at this time. Although Blackburn are currently second in the English Championship, we don't think they have enough to stop the Hammers, who have won six of their last seven home games in all competitions. Having lost their last EPL game to Crystal Palace, David Moyes’ side will also see this as the perfect opportunity to bounce back.
Newcastle Utd v Crystal Palace
Wednesday, November 9, 20:45 (GMT+1)
Betting tip: Newcastle United to win
Odds: 1.70 on Bet9ja
Newcastle are on the rise and have not been defeated in their last nine games. The Magpies have also not lost in the last three games against Crystal Palace. Eddie Howe’s side has drawn energy from the home crowd this season and are yet to lose at St. James' Park. Palace have recently turned the corner, winning three of their last four games, but a trip to Newcastle looks like too big a task for Patrick Vieira’s side.
Manchester City v Chelsea
Wednesday, November 9, 20:45 (GMT+1)
Betting tip: Under 3.5
Odds: 1.48 on Bet9ja
The biggest game of the EFL Cup third round features two familiar foes; four of the last five meetings between these sides have produced under 2.5 goals. With Chelsea coming into this game off back-to-back EPL defeats, a cautious approach will be expected from Graham Potter. There are also chances that Pep Guardiola might rest some of his stars, which might affect the level of finishing from his side.
Arsenal v Brighton
Wednesday, November 9, 20:45 (GMT+1)
Betting tip: Goal-Goal
Odds: 1.77 on Bet9ja
Arsenal have had a good season so far, but they have struggled to keep clean sheets at the Emirates. Most of the Gunners' clean sheet has come away from home, and Brighton have scored considerably well this season. Mikel Arteta’s side have only failed to score in one game this season, and we expect them to do so against the Seagulls. However, we also expect Brighton to score in this game.
Manchester United v Aston Villa
Thursday, November 10, 21:00 (GMT+1)
Betting tip: Over 2.5
Odds: 1.77 on Bet9ja
This is the second installment of this fixture in a week, with Aston Villa getting the better of Manchester United on Sunday in a game that produced four goals. We expect another game with goals on Thursday, as the Red Devils will come all out to exact revenge. Five of the last seven meetings between these sides have produced more than three goals. Four of Villa’s last five games have also produced over 2.5 goals.
