We’re off to the EFL Cup for today’s best bet as Brentford and Arsenal square off for a spot in the Round of 16 in London.

Predicting EFL Cup winners can be tricky due to a lot of Premier Clubs rotating their squads heavily in the early rounds, but we’re confident Arsenal can get the job done at good value here.

Brentford are dealing with some injury issues and have been in poor form lately, struggling with just one win in 90 minutes for the season.

Brentford barely survived the challenge of League 2 side Newport in the previous round, needing penalties to progress after only finding the back of the net in the 87th minute.

Since that match, Brentford have drawn 2-2 with lowly Bournemouth and lost back-to-back games away to Newcastle and a disappointing 3-1 home loss to out-of-form Everton.

By contrast, Arsenal are unbeaten for the season, coming into this encounter having won five of their seven games, including both of their road fixtures without conceding a goal.

Arsenal certainly won’t be intimidated with the short trip to Brentford, crushing their opponents 3-0 at this venue last season.

Having missed out on a trophy last season, Arsenal could view the EFL Cup as their best chance of silverware this season, so some of their stars could even feature here.

As mentioned, always a bit of a risk betting on the EFL Cup, but that also means there’s a lot of value to be had and getting Arsenal at $2.15 to prevail is too good to pass up.
