Carabao Cup 2024 Predictions and Betting Tips
The Carabao Cup is the first domestic knockout football competition in England. The popular energy drink is the current sponsor of the England Football League (EFL) Cup. It is contested by the four highest tiers of the English football league system (the Premier League, SkyBet Championship, League One, and League Two). The tournament used to have little significance to the top English teams. Teams would typically field players that don’t get regular playtime during EPL cup matchdays.
Nowadays, the competition for silverware in England has meant that some teams prioritise playing the cup with the best side in order to win the match. Of late, Manchester City has dominated the Cup, winning four of the last six trophies up for grabs. Find out which team they will meet in the round of 16 matches of the EFL cup.
EFL Cup Predictions
The League Cup always tosses up a mismatch in the quality of the team. With the Premier League being regarded as the most competitive league in the world, lower-tier clubs struggle to match the intensity of the teams from the Premier League. There’s a mash-up of teams from the English Premier League facing each other while other EPL teams that qualified for this stage face clubs for the remaining tiers of English football.
The Carabao Cup is a seven-round knockout tournament with 92 Premier League and English Football League teams participating. The second round sees the introduction of the Premier League contenders, while European competition participants are granted a bye on to the third round, leaving 32 teams.

The Carabao Cup in 2024 is expected to be an exciting tournament for punters, with plenty of potential money-making opportunities. A trend that we have seen in recent years has been the emergence of the so called 'giant-killers' from the lower divisions, who often capitalize on weakened squads fielded by top-tier teams. Therefore, betting tips for this cup should seek to take advantage of these possible mismatches and should look out for teams from lower leagues who may have better chances of success than expected.
