The EFL Trophy group stage reaches its conclusion this week and it’s the usual minefield for punters.
Liverpool’s Academy team make the trip to Port Vale for Sky Sports’ live match tonight. The Reds’ Under 21 squad have struggled so far in the tournament, losing and conceding four goals in each of their other matches against Bolton and Rochdale so no surprise to see them as 4/1 outsiders here.
Remember, all Academy teams in the competition play their matches away from home so they’re immediately disadvantaged but the kids haven’t done too badly against their more experienced opponents. In 41 matches featuring Under 21 teams, fifteen have won (36.6%) inside 90 minutes.
Aston Villa’s kids have fared best with three wins from three while Wolves and Chelsea have already booked their place in the next round. Liverpool, Man City, Crystal Palace, Arsenal and Brighton’s teams can still qualify if results go their way.
Matches are averaging 3.36 goals per game so goals bets could be the best option. Unfortunately Skybet don’t have any of their Total Goals Specials available but it’s worth keeping checking.
Leicester City’s youngster have shipped nine goals in two games and face Barrow tonight so that one could be good for goals. Add in that Port Vale v Liverpool match and you can have an Over 2.5 Goals Double at 129/100
