Wednesday’s EFL Cup Accumulator Tips
Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka continues to be a consistent attacking force and offers excellent value to either score or assist against Crystal Palace at odds of 1.83. Saka has thrived in this fixture, recording 4 goal involvements (2 goals and 2 assists) in his last 3 matches against the Eagles.
His recent form is equally impressive – he heads into this clash on the back of 10 goal involvements in his last 8 games, 5 goals and 5 assists.
The England international’s ability to both finish chances and create opportunities for his team-mates makes him a versatile attacking threat. Palace have shown vulnerability against quick and direct wingers, and Saka will look to exploit these weaknesses with his pace and precision.
Given Arsenal’s attacking dominance at home and Saka’s growing influence, backing him to score or assist at 1.91 represents significant value.
Brentford defender van den Berg is an enticing pick to commit a foul in this match, priced generously at 1.67. The Dutchman has struggled against pacey, skillful opponents, and he’ll face Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon, who has been one of the most fouled players in recent weeks. Gordon has drawn 8 fouls in his last 2 starts alone, showcasing his ability to cause defenders problems with his dribbling and direct running.
Van den Berg’s discipline has been questionable – while he averages just 0.82 fouls per 90 minutes overall, he has committed fouls in 5 of his last 6 starts. Newcastle often target wide areas with their attacking play, increasing the chances of van Den Berg being forced into defensive challenges to contain Gordon.
With Newcastle’s tempo and Gordon’s threat on the left flank, the likelihood of van den Berg committing at least one foul is high, making this a valuable selection.
Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo has quietly been in excellent form and offers tremendous value at 2.63 to find the back of the net against Southampton. The Dutch forward has adapted well under Arne Slot’s system, contributing 7 goals in his last 579 minutes of first team football. This translates to a rate of roughly 1 goal involvement every 83 minutes – an impressive return for a player who often rotates with Luis Díaz on the left flank.
Despite playing limited minutes, Gakpo’s efficiency in front of goal remains high, and his ability to position himself in the box gives him frequent scoring opportunities. Liverpool, unbeaten in their last 8 games against Southampton, are expected to dominate this fixture, providing Gakpo with ample chances to score.
With his finishing ability and current form, backing him at odds of 2.50 to score represents excellent value in what should be another commanding Liverpool performance.
