Best Tip: Wolves to win

A League Cup home win for Paulo César da Silva Peixoto's Wolves side win in the win / draw / win market is what we're predicting.

The odds from the bookies are pointing in the same direction, and when that happens you've got reason to feel confident. A Wolves win is the bet we'd suggest, even if a tight match is possible.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Wolves are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 76% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.36.
