Premier League Brentford are again going well in the Carabao Cup. The past two seasons have seen the Bees reach the quarter-finals. Round three of this year's competition sees them travel to League One Reading. Brentford are unbeaten this season and our prediction is they will win and lead at half and full time.
Saturday saw Brentford draw 2-2 at Bournemouth and are fifth in the Premier League..
They are likely to make changes for this game, but they have a strong squad. So far in this season's Carabao Cup, they have won 6-1 at Championship side Birmingham City. A side bet on both teams scoring in this match may be a winner as that's happened in each of their last four matches.
They are unbeaten in their last four competitive away fixtures.
Reading will be going all out to cause a shock. They last made it to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup in the 2016-17 season. The Royals are 14th in League One and at the weekend were beaten 2-1 at Cambridge United, their second league defeat of the season.
To reach round three of the Carabao Cup, Reading have won at Bromley on penalties and at Stevenage. Now they face Premier League opposition.
