Our Brentford vs Sheffield Wednesday Prediction
Our prediction for the Brentford vs. Sheffield Wednesday Carabao Cup tie is: HT/FT - Brentford/Brentford.
While Sheff Wed have good away form in this competition, they take on a team unbeaten at home in the division above them in this Carabao Cup tie. Add to that Brentford's superb scoring record at home, and Wednesday's lack of first half goals and a clear trend is identifiable in the data and that makes the Half-time/Full-time bet for Brentford/Brentford the best option bet here.
2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer
One of the worst feelings when placing a football bet is when the team that you have backed has gone into a multiple-goal lead only to be clawed back to a draw or to lose the game in question. This is something that bet365 has rectified for their bettors courtesy of this offer. If the team that you backed takes a two-goal lead your bet will be paid out as a winner. That is any two-goal lead so 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 etc will all be paid out early as a winner if your team is in that position. This is available in 80 different competitions including the major leagues across Europe and can be played on the full-time result market. Singles and multiples are both valid for this offer but you cannot bet on enhanced price markets. As with most promotions, if you cash out a bet in full, the bet will no longer be available for the offer in question. It also cannot be used if you bet on the draw on a game.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
