The EFL Cup clash between Nottingham Forest and Leeds United sets up perfectly for goals. Both sides will go all out for the win in this knockout match, which should lead to an open game. The last meeting ended 0-1 to Leeds, but Forest matched them well and d…

Over 2.5 goals is the pick here. Nottingham Forest and Leeds United both have a habit of scoring and conceding at a high rate, so a match with at least three goals feels like the natural outcome in this EFL Cup clash.

The value here is clear. Valencia have been consistent at home, with over 1.5 goals in eight of their last ten home matches and an average xG of 1.7 per game. Their defence is leaky too — they concede an average xGA of 1.4 and keep a clean sheet only 20% of t…

Valencia and Real Betis have a clear history of low corner counts when they meet. That’s why I’m backing under 9.5 corners here.

Let’s be honest — Real Betis have some genuinely dangerous players up front, and I expect them to prove it on the road. That’s why I’m backing the visitors to score at least twice against Valencia. The odds are more than fair for a bet that feels right.

Bodø/Glimt at home almost always score — that's the anchor here. NEC's open style and the aggression they'll be forced into mean they'll cash in at least once, whether off a Norwegian defensive error or a set piece. So the BTTS Yes leg is solid, and I'm addin…
