Prediction published on 22/08/2021, 14:46  by Daniel Ngulu in Carabao Cup Prediction

A stoppage time goal handed Huddersfield Town a second straight win against Sheffield United in the Championship. Another case of their defensive shortages was seen against Leeds United, a clash that ended 2-2. As they shift gears to the League Cup, they hope to register a third straight win. Huddersfield will be at home against Premier League side Everton in the second round of the League Cup. In the first round, they eliminated Sheffield Wednesday on post match penalties, with a bigger challenge, they will hope to go the easier way. They don’t seem to have problems in attack, having scored in each of the last four matches. A 5-1 loss to Fulham is the only time they’ve conceded more than a goal in the last five matches while they have two wins only in 10 home matches. Huddersfield haven’t scored a League Cup goal in the last five matches in the competition.

Everton on the other hand are coming from a 2-2 battle with Leeds United in the Premier League. They have two wins and one loss in their last five matches and while they have just one clean sheet in their last five matches, Everton have managed to score five goals in their opening two matches of the season. This is the first meeting between these two sides since 2019; Everton are unbeaten in nine matches against Huddersfield and have won four of the last five meetings. Both sides have scored in four of their last five meetings and while Everton are winless in the last four away matches, it will be understandable looking at the kind of opponents they’ve faced lately.
