We’re here to preview the Bet of the Day, where we’re chancing a bet builder from the EFL Cup match between Grimsby and Manchester United.
Bet of the Day – 27th August
Bet of the Day – Man United to win, Benjamin Sesko to score & goals range 1-4 @ 17/10
Grimsby Town vs Man United – Man United to win
We are backing Man United for this match as the Premier League giants are taking on a League Two side in this Carabao Cup encounter. The Red Devils will rotate slightly, but they are yet to win a match this season so need this win as a morale boost as they look to have a good campaign in the Premier League. Grimsby have started the season well in League Two and currently sit fourth, with no defeats in the division yet, so this will be a hard game for Man United, but the quality they have should see them come out on top.
Grimsby Town vs Man United – Benjamin Sesko to score
Our next selection sees us backing Benjamin Sesko to score in the game. This seems like a perfect match for the new striker to get his first goal for Man United. The forward is yet to start for the club in the Premier League, so this match feels like the perfect opportunity for him to start and build some confidence by getting on the scoresheet. Sesko has a lot of talent, proven by his 13 goals and five assists in the Bundesliga last season, and he should be too much for the Grimsby defence to handle.
Grimsby Town vs Man United – Goals Range 1-4
Our final selection sees us backing there to be between 1 and 4 goals in this match. We are expecting a fair few goals, especially if Man United play a strong side. Grimbsy have already scored 10 goals in five league matches this season, showing that they are looking good in front of goal at this time. Sesko should be supported by some good attacking options as Ruben Amorim has a lot to choose from. He may rest Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, but even if he does, he could still call upon the likes of Mason Mount, Amad Diallo and Kobbie Mainoo.

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.
