EFL Cup picks for Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace
Before you tune in to Wednesday’s match, you need to see the EFL Cup picks from soccer expert Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Last year, he was profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks for anyone following him on betting apps and betting sites, including Euro qualifying (+6.30 units), the EFL Cup (+4.47), the FA Cup (+3.07) and the Champions League (+3.05), among others.
For Arsenal vs. Crystal Palace, Green is backing both teams to score for a -110 payout. The expert acknowledges that the Gunners are heavy favorites to win the EFL Cup and that they have outscored the Eagles 12-1 over the last four meetings between the teams. However, Arsenal’s defense is battling injuries and the offense isn’t completely in sync, which could open the door for a Crystal Palace side that has scored in five straight matches.
Green points out that Palace could be dealing with some fatigue since they aren’t as accustomed to playing midweek matches. That being said, manager Oliver Glasner has been taking the competition very seriously and is expected to field a strong starting XI at the Emirates.
