David Easson has a betting preview for Wednesday's Carabao Cup matches, focusing on Nottingham Forest v Newcastle United.
I've got four matches for us to look at here and I’m going to start with the later game, which is the TV one, because everyone loves a Premier League match-up, don't they?
Nottingham Forest v Newcastle
Now, there's been 18 goals in the last five meetings between these two sides. Over 2.5 goals has landed in four out of the last five. Both teams to score has landed in four out of the last five, and over 2.5 goals plus both teams to score is 4/5. Nice serendipity there. I'm going to put that in straight away.
Wolves v Burnley
Burnley go to Wolves in one of the earlier games. Gary O'Neill has now won only one out of his last 12 matches as Wolves manager. No players in, lots of big players out. Max Kilman played every minute of last season, and he's gone.
11/10 on both teams to score and over 2.5 goals in this one does seem to be a way in. I'm tempted by Burnley just to win this game outright at 4/1, because Wolves have seemingly much bigger problems, so that's a tempter if you're looking at an outright price. We're going to put the goals in on this plus both teams to score. Wolves are leaking goals, and Burnley have the capability to get on the scoresheet.
Colchester v Brentford
In the third game, Danny Cowley’s Colchester could give a debut to Lyle Taylor - more clubs than Nick Faldo - against Brentford. 19 goals in the last five games in league and cup for Colchester, that's for and against so both teams to score in this one with Brentford conceding a couple at the weekend against Liverpool but they were looking strong. We don't know what kind of strength side they're going to put out at Colchester, but 19/20 for both teams to score is to shout in that one.
AFC Wimbledon v Ipswich Town
And just to bump it up to around a 10/1 four-timer let’s add Ipswich Town in there to beat Wimbledon away from home. Should be a good game but the Tractor Boys have the wherewithal to go to Wimbledon and knock them out the cup.
