Our prediction for this EFL Cup match:
Broadhall Way will be the centre of attention on Tuesday evening as Stevenage and Watford square off against each other in the EFL Cup round 1. The Boro are eager to claim a major scalp in their League Cup opener and their display in a 1-0 win over Northampton Town is certainly giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Watford. Both Freeman and Forster-Caskey are eyeing spots in the starting XI after the duo came off the bench in the League One opener.
Meanwhile, the Hornets, produced a thrilling performance in a 4-0 crushing of QPR, but keep in mind that boss Valerien Ismael should rest several first-team regulars in the EFL Cup game. Since Stevenage want this win more than the Championship side, we are tempted to put our money on Steve Evans’ troops. All Tom Ince, Dan Gosling, and Ignacio Pussetto should miss out through injuries for the away team.
