EFL Trophy Betting Tips

Man City U21s haven’t kept an EFL Trophy clean sheet in any of their last 14 games - dating back to a game at, now non-league, Scunthorpe in August 2021.

They’ve seen both teams score in nine of their last 12 games in the competitions.

The bet landed in two of three EFL Trophy games for both sides last season.

BTTS landed after 49 minutes in Mansfield’s 2-1 win over Doncaster on Saturday, and the last head-to-head between the sides ended 3-2 to the Stags.

City’s youngsters scored seven goals in the competition last season and should test a Mansfield defence who are yet to put in a convincing display in 2026/27, and will have an eye on the weekend’s winnable trip to Peterborough.

Celtic conceded in nine of their 10 games in the Europa League last season, with BTTS landing in seven of those.

While this is a Champions League qualifier, LASK represent opposition closer to the strength of a Europa League side than a typical Champions League one.

The Austrian Bundesliga champions have started their title defence well, scoring nine goals and taking maximum points from their first three games.

Celtic have scored 10 goals in their three competitive outings so far, but haven’t been watertight at the back, conceding in a 5-1 win over Kilmarnock, and they might take a few risks in this encounter, aiming to take a healthy lead to Austria for the second leg.

Both sides have seen this bet land in each of their last three games.

Bodo/Glimt played out an epic tie in the last round, beating Union St Gilloise 6-5 on aggregate, via a 3-3 away draw and 3-2 home win.

NEC scored in every home game in the Eredivisie last season, and in 33/34 games overall.

And they’ve netted in both home outings so far this term, Bodo/Glimt are unlikely to be the defensive unit to stop that run -they conceded in all six Champions League away games last season.

USG scored three at home to Bodo in the last round, NEC only need to score one to keep up their side of this bet.
