The safe bet today consists of two matches.
QPR to win
Wolves to win
QPR is a solid Championship team. They dont really go down and not up. If they do, they go back the following season. They loose to the top teams and win against lower ranked teams. Their start of this season has not been the best. 3 draws and one lost. Goal score of 3-4. At home they have played two draws and goalscore of 2-2. In all fairness they have been up against some good teams. Bristol City, Nottingham Forrest and Plymouth. A loss and 2 draws. Thats decent. Their first round in the Carling cup was against Exeter whom they beat 0-5 on away. In all fairness I do not consider Exeter to be a good team, but they are currently 10th in League 1. Today they are facing Accrington Stanley. They are 21st in League 2. They have won 1 match and lost 3. Goalscore of 2-7. Away is 2 lost and goalscore of 1-4. Accrington have also played some good teams in League 2, but they lost against them. Their win came against Lincoln at home and it was a 1-0 win. Now the only thing to watch out for is that they actually advanced from round 1 by beating Walsall 2-1 at home. That is pretty amazing. Walsall being a decent team, but the last couple of seasons for Walsall have not been to good. Currently they are 16th in League 1.
But today we have a match of a solid Championship team who gets the job done against lower ranked position whom are up against a lower ranked team by 2 leagues. There should not be to many suprises in this match. A solid win of 3-0 possibly even 4-0.
The second match is Wolverhampton against Swindon. Wolves have done somewhat ok in Premier League after their promotion. They only lost 1-0 to Man City, they beat Wigan on away terms but also lost to Westham at home. They have not scored alot of goals, but then again it is the top teams they are playing. While their strikers were great in Championship league, they face a lot higher quality in Premier league. They enter the Carling cup in this round so no previous round to go from. Swindon plays in Leauge 1 and currently holds the 12th place with 1 win, 2 draws and 1 lost. Their outfield record says 1 drawn and 1 lost. Goalscore of 2-7. Swindon started the season with a heavy loss to Gillingham by 0-5 away. After that they beat Milton Keynes Dons in the Carling Cup by 1-4 on away field. That is an excellent record as MKD is an ok team. Then they draw at home just 4 days later with them. They beat Southampton by 1-0 at home, but hey. Everybody beats Southampton at home. And the latest match, they drew with Oldham on away terms 2-2. Some good results for a team I would have expected to be found close the relegation spot. Today they are up against Premier League and yes. We do see surprises once in a while, but this match is not the match. Wolves will win it and judging from the amount of goals Swindon has let in, I expect similar result as previous match.
So. Two defintly better teams, against two lower ranked teams who defintly see the Cup as their strong side. But the confidence has to be with QPR and Wolves.
Odds is 1.93 and I am betting 10 on it.
Then I have a 5 team accum:
Middelsbrough to win
Burnley to win
Blackburn to win
Bolton to win
Sheffield Wednesday to win
All 5 away matches, which could be the danger here. Middlesbrough is the only team playing a same league team, but their is a difference in strength. Odds is around 23. Putting 3 on it.
