Fleetwood Town v Sheffield United : League Cup match betting preview, prediction and odds

Wed 16th Sep, 19:45 BST, Highbury Stadium, Fleetwood

Wednesday evening at the Highbury Stadium, and it’s a League Cup showdown between Fleetwood Town and Sheffield United. Matt Lawlor and Chris Wilder will be doing all they can to guide their side to victory. Our predictions for each betting market are based on the past 20 games each side has played (at home, away or overall) with extra weighting assigned to top teams. All the statistics and graphics are designed specifically for the selected market. Head to head (H2H) statistics for this fixture are also given if there are are enough previous meetings. Odds are provided directly from from leading bookmakers.

Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there's no obvious winner in this fixture, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that Fleetwood and Sheff Utd will find the net twice at least between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Matt Lawlor or Chris Wilder has served up too many 0-0s of late either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.25 equating to approximately a 78% probability.
