Our prediction for this EFL Cup match:
Stoke City
Match Time & Date:
27/10/2021
20:45
Prediction: 1-2
Brentford
All eyes will be on Bet365 Stadium when Stoke City and Brentford go head to head in the EFL Cup last 16 on Wednesday evening. The Potters suffered a dip in form in the Championship, with the team losing each of their last three league fixtures. Stoke City are low on confidence ahead of the visit of Brentford, which is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered. All Clucas, Fox, Powell, and Sima are sidelined with injuries.
The Bees, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Leicester City. Brentford have been performing well in the English top flight this season, and given Stoke City’s current form, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Premier League outfit. All Baptiste, Bech Sorensen, Dasilva, and Wissa remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Danny Batth):
At the age of 10 Danny Batth joined Wolverhampton football academy. He was soon named the captain of the Wolves youth team and nobody was surprised when he made his debut for the senior team. The defender, who was born on 21 September, 1990 scored nine goals in 140 league appearances for Wolverhampton, but it has to be noted that he played for the likes of Colchester United, Sheffield United and their bitter rivals Sheffield Wednesday on loan as well.
Danny Batth won the Football League One with Wolverhampton in the 2013/2014 season and, speaking of his individual awards, he was named Wolves Young Professional of the Year in the 2009/2010 campaign. Batth book his place in the 2013/2014 PFA League One Team of the Year as well. The 191-cm-tall centre back scored his first professional goal on 20 February in Colchester United’s 1-0 victory over Oldham Athletic.
Daniel Batth was born in Brierley Hill, West Midlands and he is the only footballer to play in all 46 matches for Wolves in the 2013/2014 season.
Highlighted Team (Brentford):
Based in London, Brentford compete in the Championship and they were founded in 1898. Griffin Park has been the home ground of the club since 1904 and the capacity of the venue is 12,300.
The Bees have yet to play in the Premier League and it has to be noted that they made it to the FA Cup sixth round on four occasions (1937/1938, 1945/1946,1948/1949, 1988/1989). Brentford played in the League Cup round 4 in the 1982/1983 and 2010/2011 season and that is the club’s biggest success in the competition.
Brentford’s main rivals are Fulham and Queens Park Rangers and they take on each other in the West London Derby. The rivalry with the Cottagers is probably the biggest and you should bear in mind that the clashes between the two teams have their history of crowd violence. The colour of Brentford’s shirts is red and white and they wear black shorts.
