Carling Cup Bets - Tuesday 21st September

I know it's the "mickey mouse cup", but I strongly believe I've found 3 good opportunities without even needing to to to a TV game.

Birmingham to beat MK Dons (4/9 best price)

It’s dangerous to be too confident, as this is only the Carling Cup, but the favourites are at home and that’s not the only positive for them here. MK Dons have already claimed a big scalp in the shape of Blackpool but that was at home and the newly promoted outfit had made 10 changes from their 6-0 defeat to Arsenal.

The team news for Blackpool looks good, as Birmingham boss Alex McLeish has confirmed summer signings Matt Derbyshire and Nikola Zigic will start against MK Dons. The likes of Alexander Hleb, Maik Taylor, David Murphy, Keith Fahey, Jean Beausejour and Enric Valles will also be in contention to start, a side which should have enough quality to overcome the The League One high-fliers, who surrendered their 100% home record when they were held 1-1 by Rochdale on Saturday, have struggled on the road this season and Dons are likely to be without top scorer Sam Baldock, who is struggling with an ankle problem, which is a crucial loss for them.

Wolverhampton to beat Notts Country (8/15 best price)

Wolves are starting to look comfortable as a Premier League club, whilst last season's League Two champions Notts County are steadily trying to rebuild after years in the doldrums. Wolves are fielding a very weakened side (understandable with an important derby against Aston Villa looming on Sunday) but home advantage should see them through.

Ipswich to beat Millwall (2/1 general)

Saturday's 6-1 defeat by Watford was Milllwall's heaviest home loss for eight years. It was also their first defeat at the Den since November 2009, ending an unbeaten run of 21 matches in league and cup.

They will have little time to recover from a side that are unbeaten on their travels this season, although in their previous two League Cup ties they required extra-time to see off Exeter and Crewe.

Not only that, but Millwall will be without loanee Kevin Lisbie, who is ineligible to face his parent club, while fellow striker Theo Robinson is cup-tied.


4 timer: Real Madrid (1/6), Wolves, (8/15), Birmingham (4/9) and Millwall (2/1)

Good luck to all supporting their teams tonight and UP THE ARSENAL!!
