Football is set for yet another thrilling midweek with both the UEFA Europa League and the EFL Cup set to deliver a packed schedule of exciting fixtures. Wednesday will host a number of these games, seeing clubs from across Europe battling for continental glory and domestic sides eyeing a route to silverware.
In this article, we will be taking a look at a selection of the matches and picking out our top tips and booking codes (all odds at time of writing & 90 minutes only):
Arsenal vs Bolton
Despite facing an incredibly difficult opening fixture list, including matches against Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa and Brighton, Arsenal have still made a brilliant start to the 2024/25 season.
The Gunners remain unbeaten after six matches and most recently impressed in a 2-2 draw with Manchester City that saw them play the entire second half with 10 men, narrowly conceding a last-minute equaliser to prevent them from picking up a historic victory at the Etihad Stadium.
Mikel Arteta’s men will be confident of extending their unbeaten run when they face EFL League One Bolton on Wednesday, with their opponents struggling at the beginning of the season as they sit 18th in their league.
With this, we expect Arsenal to dominate the proceedings and come out comfortable winners here.
Arsenal to win & over 3.5 goals, 1.95
Liverpool vs West Ham
In an all-Premier League third-round fixture, Liverpool are set to come up against West Ham in the EFL Cup on Wednesday night.
Liverpool have made a fantastic start under new manager Arne Slot, winning five and losing just one of their first six matches across all competitions, including strong victories against Manchester United and AC Milan.
West Ham, on the other hand, have won just two of their opening six games across all competitions and are heading into this game on a three-match winless run, suffering two defeats and a draw.
Liverpool also boast the home advantage in this match, leaving them as strong favourites for a victory, and we expect them to do just that.
Liverpool to win, 1.38
Manchester United vs Twente
Manchester United have made a rather mixed start to their 2024/25 season, winning three, losing three and drawing one of their opening seven matches across all competitions.
However, their performances and results have seen an improvement in past matches, heading into their opening Europa League match unbeaten in their last three, scoring 10 and conceding none in that time.
With the Red Devils also boasting home advantage against a Twente side that have won just three of their eight fixtures this campaign, we believe the hosts will win this on Wednesday.
Manchester United to win by 2 goals, 3.55
Galatasaray vs PAOK
Victor Osimhen made a surprise loan transfer to Galatasaray at the end of the summer transfer window, leaving Napoli after a period of uncertainty at the Italian club.
The Super Eagles star has made two appearances for his new side, and while he is yet to find the net, he has already recorded two assists, one in each of his matches. Heading into what is likely to be his third appearance for Galatasaray with the striker likely to lead the line against PAOK, Osimhen will be looking to get on the scoresheet for the first time at his new side.
Osimhen’s ability in front of goal is simply undeniable, and with Galatasaray favourites to beat PAOK, we believe the striker will get on the scoresheet for the first time.
Victor Osimhen to score anytime, 1.90
