We’re here to preview the Bet of the Day, where we’re placing our hopes on a football double from Wednesday’s Carabao Cup matches.
Bet of the Day – Wednesday 17th December
Bet of the Day – Man City to beat Brentford & both teams to score and Newcastle to beat Fulham & both teams to score @ 8/1
Man City to beat Brentford and both teams to score
Manchester City are on top form, winning their last five games in a row in all competitions, and they should have a comfortable victory when they take on Brentford at the Etihad on Wednesday. Man City are undefeated in their last five games against Brentford as well, so they have had the better of their opponents over recent times.
Both teams have scored in three of the previous five meetings between each other and with Man City likely rotating a few players ahead of some bigger fixtures in December, we do see Brentford getting a consolation goal. Being in the quarter-final of this cup is huge for both sides, but we expect Man City to come out on top.
Newcastle to beat Fulham and both teams to score
We are sticking with the Carabao Cup quarter-finals and backing Newcastle to beat Fulham, with both teams to score. Newcastle need a big win following their defeat to rivals Sunderland on the weekend. This upcoming match against Fulham is the perfect way to put that poor result behind them. Newcastle have performed a lot better at home than they have on the road, so this game being at St.James’ Park in a huge bonus for them. They are undefeated in their last four home matches and we expect this run to continue in their upcoming match against Fulham.
Fulham have really struggled away from home this season and have only managed two wins in their eight away league matches. Five of these games have ended in losses. Newcastle have conceded 10 goals at home and despite poor results on the road, Fulham have managed to score nine goals in their eight matches. We are backing Newcastle beat Fulham 2-1 at St.James’ Park earlier this season and we are backing a similar result this week.

What is a Bet of the Day?
The Bet of the Day is our recommended selection and is often a single, double, treble or accumulator. We research a wide selection of leagues and statistics to create our choice and weigh this up with the best odds to bring you our top picks. These may not always come through so be sure to gamble responsibly and only bet with what you can afford to lose.
How do we go about selecting our Bet of the Day tips?
We consider several things when selecting our bet of the day tips.
Statistics, current form, head-to-head record, league position are just a few of the points we look at before making our selection.
What do we look for in our bet of the day tips?
The main thing we’re looking for when making our bet of the day tips is the value for money.
Any customer can make random selections based on relatively short odds, but we try and find odds that should be shorter odds than what’s being offered by a bookmaker when we take into consideration various statistics and form.
What price do we try to make our bet of the day tips?
We tend to look for odds in and around evens as a minimum for our bet of the day, as that means that punters will be at least able to there or thereabouts be able to double their money. However, we’re also keen to find trebles and accumulators with minimum odds of 3/1.
However, it’s important to remember that you should only bet what you can afford to lose, as no selections are ever certain to win.
