CARABAO CUP WEDNESDAY: We look ahead to Wednesday’s CARABAO CUP game between BURTON V MAN CITY with extended stats and Betdaq’s own recommended bet.

BURTON V MAN CITY

8:00pm How do we go about betting on a game that’s 9-0 on aggregate? That’s the conundrum we are facing tonight! Man City will no doubt rest their key players and you would expect Burton to do the same, albeit wanting to restore some pride in front of their home crowd. The search for value in this game is tough. Back Man City at 1.16? Go for the massive upset and Back Burton at 19.0? Knowing Pep Guardiola like we do, he will not want to show any weakness. With a home F.A. Cup tie against Burnley on the horizon, he doesn’t have much to worry about in that regard. The Asian Handicap appears to be the value bet for this one.
