⚽ EFL Carabao Cup 2025/26 Season

[JeffBrad12]

So what you guys are betting for? The next carabao games are coming soon. I ape some bucks to the City to win against Brentford, and BTTS for Newcastle vs Fulham.



The reason is obvious City is back at their peak, though still a bit inconsistent, but their recent wins in the league proven it. As for Newcastle vs Fulham, i rarely saw Fulham beat Newcastle. The last time they were losing 2-1, which makes me doubt they can pass this game. They can score, but unlikely to win it. So i expect both club to score.
I were thinking to do parlay, but considering the risk is ain't worth the profit, then changed my mind to bet on each game.

The Manchester City manager has fielded a different starting lineup than the one he has used frequently, as can be seen in this photo:



It seems to me that the Manchester City manager isn't taking this game very seriously. He preferred to rest his players because, since they still have a chance to become Premier League champions, his focus is on the Premier League and the European Champions League. Probably, if they're lucky enough to reach the semi-finals and finals of this competition, that's when he'll take the games very seriously. Interestingly, the Brentford manager also made changes to his team; he won't be taking the game very seriously, so any result is possible.

Were you actually expecting Manchester City or Fulham to field all their starting eleven players for an EFL quarter final match? I wasn't expecting them to because these type of games are the perfect opportunities to test and play those players who doesn't get regular game time from the domestic league. All the clubs apply this very principle especially when they are not playing against their fellow top team. So it's normal, few first team players and the rest are from the second eleven.

Manchester City is facing Brentford but if you were talking in general about all the teams playing tonight then yeah mostly they will try to avoid injuries and qualify to the next round without a lot of efforts and risks.
In the first half, Manchester City dominated the match and is leading with one goal. Maybe not the best and reassuring result but they are pushing and advancing here.
Newcastle is leading too against Fulham since the first ten minutes. So far the results are expected.

Currently Manchester City is leading, first half is over. I'm sure that bet will come without a problem. Manchester City won't give up the lead at home. Pep made a solid rotation. Cherki scored the goal. Just in case, Haaland, Silva and Nunes are waiting on the bench.
Newcastle United also started the game with a goal. An early goal is good for you, Fulham will have to work harder to score. I was thinking they'd score soon and they scored before I even finished my message. Congrats on your bets.

Pep needs all his players available and contributing in this critical stage of the season. This is December were clubs will be required to play every 3 days for those teams that are playing in all competitions. As a manager Pep Guardiola did the right thing by fielding the players I am seeing on the field. I can see majority of the first team players in the lineup, even though I had expected him to rest Nico Gonzales who has been playing almost all city's game this season.. This is the stage of the season were squad depth will matter so much. Despite the absence of some first team players, city are leading by 1:0, looks like Pep gamble is paying off.

The match has now ended, and Chelsea won Cardiff by 1:3. Cardiff gave Chelsea a tough time in the first half and even when Chelsea manages to score in the second half Cardiff equalized until the 82nd minute when Pedro Neto separated the score for Chelsea before Alejandro Garnacho scored the third goal and that was it. When Alejandro Garnacho scored the first goal i just recalled when he scored against Sunderland in the Premier League but in the end Sunderland won so i was like let same thing not happen in this match and as soon as Cardiff equalized i was like i said it and i became scared that Chelsea might lose. Anyways thanks to Alejandro Garnacho's second goal that made me exhale a sign of relief.

Cardiff deserves to be promoted because they would fit in in premier league because the way they handle the match they could have won Chelsea if there was no substitution for Chelsea because it was the entry of Garnacho, Joa Pedro and Gusto Chelsea began to dominate, when I saw the starting I was thinking what happened to Chelsea to have use all this players while the ones that needed to be in the match are not there but I didn't no he wanted to experiment on the first half so that if the first half players could handle it then he continues with them and if they cannot handle then the main one comes in.

It is laughable to say that Cardiff deserves to play in the Premier League because i see them as a very weak team. Each time Cardiff gets promoted to the Premier League they don't spend many seasons before they get relegated and moreover, they are now in League one so it will take them to get promoted to the Championship before they talk about being promoted to the Premier League and it will take them many years to achieve that. They are at the top of League one table currently, if they become more consistent in winning their matches they can get promoted to the Championship then begin a preparation to get promoted to the Premier League but like i said, it will take them some couple of years. About the match between Cardiff versus Chelsea yesterday, Cardiff tried to challenge Chelsea but after Enzo Maresca made that substitution the game began to change and that was when Alejandro Garnacho opened the score sheet and Chelsea was able to defeat Cardiff City.

Cherki goal is the only goal that we have seen so far in this match. He scored the goal on the 32nd minutes of the first half with a magnificent striker which went to the top corner to end the first half 1-0.

The second half is ongoing and City is still struggling to double their goal. On the other hand, Brentford is not going to give up on City as they want to get an equalizer by all means. I expect City to score another goal this second half.

[hyudien]

Newcastle lead only lasted for 6 minutes, after that Fulham equalized through Sasa Lukic, now the first half is about to end, and the score is still 1-1, I see both teams are not playing at full strength, I can understand because 3 days later they will face a fairly important match in the Premier League, but still for teams like them the Carabao Cup must be considered important, I don't know who will win, because in terms of the game no one dominates each other, but I will take a risk on Newcastle in this live bet, hopefully in the second half they will not disappoint.

While they are resting some key players this squad is enough to do something and get a win, not like that of Chelsea against Cardiff city last night where we needed to make changes to get the goals because our attacks in the first half was really lacking.

Manchester city squad depth is still good looking at the squad and James Traffold would be happy for an opportunity to perform again after being sidelined since the signing of Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The match between Newcastle and Fulham is tied after 62 minutes, having scored one goal each up to the 16th minute. It's difficult to predict the winner as both teams have opted for a balanced game. At any moment, either team could score and change the course of the match. In the other match played today, Manchester City won comfortably.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Comfortable win for Man City tonight, they didn’t have too many problems against Brentford as they ran out 2-0 winners. They will join Chelsea in the semi finals.

Newcastle vs Fulham is much more competitive, a real battle.

Fulham applies finishing touches at the finishing minutes so it is looking like Fulham special moment to come, the time for Chukwueze and his teammates to do the damage is very close.
It will be an all English premier league semifinal, Caraboa cup is once again competitive. Manchester City joins Chelsea we are waiting for winners between Newcastle V Fulham and Arsenal V Crystal Palace.

An interesting game between these two (Newcastle and Fulham), the both sides played pretty well to get that chance of advancing into the next round, after the lost game during the weekend Newcastle had to change the way they approached the game today and if you check the Fulham side, they played without some of their best players who left the team for the AFCON and I think it will affect them in the league game too because these new guys have not understood each other like the other guys, it will be nice to act fast to make the new guys blend in the game...congratulations to Newcastle on their 2-1 win tonight.

Manchester City deserved to win comfortably, I think Brentford were simply not an evenly matched opponent. Pep Guardiola rotated most of his key players and relied on second choice players, and they managed to do their job well. In my opinion, Newcastle were very lucky, they managed to score a goal toward the end of the match, leaving Fulham without enough time to equalize.

Chelsea, Newcastle, and Manchester City have now secured their places in the semifinals, and it seems that Arsenal will follow. On paper, Arsenal are indeed more worthy of being favored, they are one of the best teams in Europe at the moment, so it would be surprising if they failed to beat Crystal Palace.

Lolz, I bet you most of Chelsea fans were hoping that Brentford would hold Man City but that would have been a big ask. Chelsea will face Man City and I tell you that's not a fixture Chelsea fans wanted, at least not in the crucial stages of this competition, maybe it would have been more preferable in the EPL and not here.
As it is, Newcastle would be awaiting the outcome of the game between Arsenal vs Crystal Palace to see who they'd play against since they were able to edge out Fulham by 2-1.

I wouldn’t say it was an obvious win for Newcastle given the fact that, Fulham are not playing any badly in their recent EPL games but, Manchester City was obviously going to beat Brentford and betting on them was going to be an obvious win for sure.

Cherki is a good player for Manchester City, he’s being stepping up in their fixtures to provide  either an assist or score needed goals for the team and he did the same today, giving Manchester City the lead in the mid first half. City are always this dangerous while playing at home.

I was very sure that Manchester City will win the match because they are actually stronger than Brentford the win was something I expected from them today and they delivered, I bet on them to win and I also predicted and bet on Newcastle to win and they won good performance from Manchester City and Newcastle united, the first goal scored by Newcastle United in 10 minutes was a very big help for them to win the match but fulham really tried there best i will also say Newcastle won the match by luck because they scored the goal in the last minute, if not for the last goal the match would have ended in draw but they were lucky enough to score the late go that got them the win, congratulations to both team they should prepare for the next face.
I trust in Arsenal and I believe they may even be the team to win this trophy this season because they are very inform and determine.

Chelsea can't always have it easy all the time in cup competitions, at least they have to face a real test if they are going to get to the final. They shouldn't be expecting another Cardiff in the name of Brentford. I knew Brentford weren't up to the task to stop city. After ending last season trophiless, city weren't going to waste any opportunity that will draw them closer to winning something this season. Although I am not writing off Chelsea ability to hurt Manchester city in the semi finals. We know how this Chelsea team can turn up in big matches, so City fans shouldn't think it's an easy match coming for them. Chelsea is a dangerous team and anything can happen.

It's more than a month since the fourth round finished. Finally, another Carabao game to come again. The opening match is Chelsea vs Cardiff. You know how Chelsea gets a fortune caused by they get the weakest opponent compared to the other games. They're getting blessed by the god.
It's wise for me to go all in on Chelsea. I aware their h2h ain't that good against Cardiff, but i consider their superior squad as the main differentiate.

My prediction is that Chelsea will play with their 2nd squad, then put some main team squad during the 2nd half. If that's scenario will happen, i'm doubting them to win with the great score. So betting straight on Chelsea is my preferred choice, though it's offering only 1.38.

The match has now ended, and Chelsea won Cardiff by 1:3. Cardiff gave Chelsea a tough time in the first half and even when Chelsea manages to score in the second half Cardiff equalized until the 82nd minute when Pedro Neto separated the score for Chelsea before Alejandro Garnacho scored the third goal and that was it.

Anyways thanks to Alejandro Garnacho's second goal that made me exhale a sign of relief.

It was another day that E.maresca almost gambled the game away but was lucky his super subs performed some important late magic on the pitch. Starting with weaker players in that match and bringing in better players to salvage the situation would never stop looking lame to me. I'm always a bigger fan of starting with a bit of good players and after dominating very well both in possession and in scoreline, you can slowly substitute those weaker players in to hold off your advantages until fulltime. Seems like he always loves gambling the match away. He got lucky yesterday but I'm sure we would still see him repeat such actions many more times.
