Our prediction for this EFL Cup match:
Nottingham Forest and Stoke City, the two Championship sides, face each other at the City Ground in what is expected to be one of the most entertaining games of Wednesday’s program. Nottingham Forest head into the match following a hard-fought 1-0 win over Rotherham United, whilst Stoke City aim to bounce back from a heart-breaking home loss to Blackburn Rovers. It is well known that the Reds have turned their City Ground into a real fortress and seeing that the Potters made a very slow start to the season, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. In their last meeting in Nottingham the Reds emerged triumphant, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered. You should bear in mind that Stoke City have yet to record a win on the road in the 2018/2019 season.
