EFL Cup picks for Man City vs. Watford
Before you tune in to Tuesday's match, you need to see the Carabao Cup picks from soccer expert Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Last year he was profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks, including Euro qualifying (+6.30 units), the EFL Cup (+4.47), the FA Cup (+3.07) and the Champions League (+3.05) among others.
For Manchester City vs. Watford, Green is picking Man City to win with a clean sheet for -112 payout. Some of the larger Premier League teams don't take the Carabao Cup seriously, but Man City manager Pep Guardiola has always treated this competition with a level of reverence. Man City won the EFL Cup four years in a row from 2018-2021 and the four-time defending Premier League champions will likely field a team of hungry youngsters on Tuesday coming off a 2-2 draw against Arsenal.
"It may be prudent to wait until the starting line-ups have been published before betting on this game, as it could get ugly for Watford if the likes of Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva start," Green told SportsLine. "Yet, Man City should still win pretty comfortably irrespective of who plays, as their reserve team is superior to Watford's first team."
