Football Accumulator Tips: 17/1 acca for Wednesday's League Cup offering

After a gargantuan 27 Carabao Cup matches on Tuesday evening, the League Cup action continues with six more games taking place on Wednesday night.

With enough football to go at, we've put together a four-fold accumulator that's priced at 17.13/1 with Bet365.

Blackburn vs Hartlepool - Blackburn to win by 2+ goals

Ewood Park is our first destination and with the home side as short as 2/5 for the win, we've gone with them to beat Hartlepool by two or more goals at 10/11 instead.

Not many could have foreseen the promising start Rovers have gotten off to in the Championship under Jon Dahl Tomasson; first beating QPR with no trouble from the visitors on opening day before then convincingly dispatching Swansea 3-0 on their travels over the weekend.

Blackburn already appear to have found their groove, while the same cannot be said for Wednesday's opponents. Paul Hartley's side sit in 20th place in League Two after their initial couple of fixtures, managing to acquire just a point without scoring a single goal so far - one of three clubs in the division yet to register a goal.

Coventry vs Bristol City - BTTS

Next up is an all Championship affair as Coventry host Bristol City. If you're an avid BTTS reader here at BettingOdds.com, you'll have seen us tip up both of the Robins' first two games and have also noticed that it landed both times.

While you might be frustrated as a season ticket holder at Ashton Gate, you can't argue that Nigel Pearson's men don't provide entertainment. It appears as though they're rarely involved in a dull match, having already played out a 2-1 loss and 3-2 defeat in their two Championship results to date.

As highlighted before, the Cider Army were the highest scorers outside of the top six in the English second division last season, and seem to have picked up where they left off in this department thus far. 

Cov, on the other hand, having only played one game, haven't given us much to go by. The ongoing Callum O'Hare saga does dent their attacking prospects for the campaign, but a 1-1 draw thanks to the brilliance of Viktor Gyokeres, along with the defensive frailties the away team have displayed, is enough to back both teams to score in this one.

Middlesbrough vs Barnsley - Under 3 match goals

Another Championship venue plays host to our third leg, with the selection of fewer than three goals in the match between Middlesbrough and Barnsley.

Chris Wilder's Boro haven't started off how they would have liked, or how many expected them to. The visible improvements were there for all to see under his stewardship last season, falling just short of a play-off place in the end.

However, handing a cruising victory to Michael Beale's QPR after a 1-1 draw with West Brom the week before gives Wilder and co a number of things to rectify in the regular league campaign.

Both of Barnsley's League One opening fixtures have ended 1-0 - once in their favour and once not - meaning this line has been cleared 3/4 times involving either side this season (Boro's 3-1 defeat to QPR being the outlier).

As is often the case with this competition, a merry-go-round of changes are expected, resulting in a tighter contest between the two and under three match goals being the way to go.

Plymouth vs Peterborough - Peterborough to win

Finally we're calling on Peterborough to progress to the Second Round of the competition by beating Plymouth within 90 minutes at Home Park.

The Posh have returned to the third tier after a late survival surge from Reading kept them in the division at Peterborough's expense. Grant McCann took over in February and there have been signs of improvement, evident by their 100% start to the new campaign - also adding to a tally of now eight games where his team have scored two or more goals in a single game.

Wednesday's opponents will provide a double whammy, with the two teams facing one another twice in the space of just four days. Argyle kicked off on the right foot with a win over another newly relegated team in Barnsley, but disappointingly fell short against Fleetwood due to a late winner by Joe Garner.

Top of the rock and gaining momentum under McCann are two reassuring reasons to side with an away side victory in this one.

Please gamble responsibly.
