Midweek Carling Cup and Europa League Football Betting Tips
Wintry conditions are well and truly set in the UK and across Europe, but the midweek exchanges in the Carling League Cup and Europa League provide some respite for football fans.
Carling Cup quarter finals are played tonight and tomorrow with Arsenal v Wigan, Ipswich v West Brom, Birmingham v Aston Villa and West Ham v Man Utd all scheduled for action. The best of the value bets to be had given inconsistent team selections in this competition is at Upton Park. Manchester United put 7 passed Blackburn last time out in the Premier League and boast a record of 22 goals in their last 5 Carling Cup games. As tipped exclusive on Sportingly Better, West Ham secured a win over Wigan and scored 3 goals in the process. Despite Rob Greens best efforts, West Ham still struggle defensively and the over goals market looks good value here.
Over 2.5 goals (West Ham v Man Utd) @1.7
With the Russian season over newly crowned champions Zenit St Petersburg host Belgium side Anderlecht having already beaten them in the group 3-1 away from home. Zenit have already qualified with 4 wins out of 4 in Group G and should again record 3 points on an impressive looking campaign so far.
Zenit St Petersburg @ 2.05
Elsewhere in Group B unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen travel to Norway facing a Rosenborg side who they put 4 passed without reply in the reverse fixture. Bayer have only conceded 1 goal in Europe so far and with everything still to play for in the group Bayer should have enough to pick up a valuable 3 points and secure their qualification into the knockout stages. Bayer to win is at 2.10 but an away point for the Germans would still be a decent enough result.
Draw No Bet – Bayer Leverkusen @1.6
