by Daniel Ngulu in Carabao Cup Predictions
West Bromwich Albion’s second match of the season is an away trip to League Two side Fleetwood Town in the League Cup. If you are looking to bet on this Tuesday match, here we have the preview and prediction for you.
Fleetwood Town had the perfect start to their season, beating Grimsby Town 1-0 in the league. That marked their third win at home and with three other home matches coming in their next four outings, Fleetwood will be confident.
However, they know the opposition they are up against here is stronger. Having just been relegated to the fourth tier further solidifies their place as underdogs going into their first meeting with West Brom. Fleetwood’s recent run in the League Cup hasn’t been great either, losing four times in the last five matches. In nine home League Cup matches since 2012, Fleetwood lost six.
While Fleetwood had a narrow win to start their season, West Brom had a flying one in their league opener. The Baggies came from a goal down to thrash QPR 3-1 with Josh Maja netting all the goals.
In light of their poor run in preseason, where they won once in five matches, that was a good response. Having finished in the playoff positions last season, West Brom will come into this game tipped for victory.
Their win on Saturday was, however, the first in six away matches, and this is a chance to improve on it. They haven't done well in recent matches in this competition, only managing to beat Sheffield United in their last five. Five defeats in the last eight away matches in the League Cup don’t make it any easier.
