Blackpool vs. Middlesbrough tip & odds 11.08.2021 - EFL Cup

Details:

The toughest second division in the world, the English Championship, started the new season last weekend. It gets intense right at the start of the season, because the start of the league is followed by the first round of the EFL Cup, better known as the league cup. 70 teams from the second to fourth league are represented in the first round. A pure championship duel is that between newly promoted Blackpool and Middlesbrough.

On the first day of the match, the league was extremely even with six draws in twelve games. Five games ended with a 1-1 draw, including the duels between these two teams. The bookmakers between Blackpool and Middlesbrough also provide relatively even odds for the league cup game, with slight advantages for the guests.

The newcomer from Blackpool is considered by many experts as a safe relegation, while Middlesbrough is one of the favorites for promotion. Given that many teams do not pay much attention to the League Cup, betting on "The Boro" is not necessarily recommended. The game on Bloomfield Road starts on Wednesday at 8:45 p.m.

However, these clashes are no longer particularly relevant for this game in the League Cup, because the last game took place in the 2014/15 season.
