Stoke City and Fleetwood Town lock horns at the bet365 Stadium in the first round of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night. The Potters picked up a dramatic win on the opening weekend of the EFL Championship season last weekend – can Michael O’Neill’s boys follow that up with victory in the cup in midweek? We have the best betting odds and predictions for this EFL Cup first-round tie.

Stoke City Preview – Potters to cruise into round two?

Stoke City were involved in a five-goal thriller against Reading at the bet365 Stadium on Saturday. Three goals in three first-half minutes saw the Potters take a 2-1 lead into the break. Liam Moore levelled for the Royals on the hour mark, but Sam Surridge hit the winner five minutes from time.

Stoke could be one of the dark horses in the battle for promotion from the Championship this season. O’Neill improved the club after arriving, but can the former Northern Ireland manager take City back to the promised land?

Our betting prediction:
Stoke to win to nil
8/5

Before Saturday’s trip to St Andrew’s to face Lee Bowyer’s Birmingham City, Stoke will be looking for an easy win in the EFL Cup on Tuesday. They are the big favourites, with the bookies offering just 4/7 for the Stoke success.

Fleetwood Town Preview – Cod Army to crash out of cup?

Simon Grayson’s Fleetwood Town kicked off their EFL League One campaign with a disappointing home defeat to Portsmouth last Saturday. The visitors netted in the 60th minute and held on for all three points.

Fleetwood finished 15th in League One last term, failing to build on their sixth place from the season before. Joey Barton was sacked in January, with the experienced Grayson taking over at the end of the month. Can Fleetwood get involved in a promotion race this term?

Fleetwood have an incredibly tough start. After Tuesday’s cup tie in the Potteries, they travel to Lincoln City and Sheffield Wednesday in their next two league games. The bookies have them priced at 19/4 to get a shock win at Stoke before Saturday’s League Two encounter at Sincil Bank.

 

Stoke City vs Fleetwood Town Betting Advice

Stoke were founded in 1863, while Fleetwood have been around for well over 100 years, but the midweek cup clash at the bet365 Stadium will be the first ever meeting between the two clubs. Will it be one to remember in Staffordshire?

 

Key Facts – Stoke City vs Fleetwood Town Betting Tip

  • Stoke finished 14th in the Championship last term
  • The Potters kicked off the new season with a 3-2 home win over Reading
  • Stoke and Fleetwood have never met before

 

Bringing Premier League football back to Stoke will be the priority, but the Potters fans would not say no to another decent run in the cup. City went far last year, beating the likes of Blackpool, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Gillingham and Aston Villa. They eventually fell at the quarter-final hurdle, losing 3-1 at home to Tottenham Hotspur.

After last weekend’s thrilling victory over Reading, we fancy Stoke to secure a far more straightforward win in the cup on Tuesday. Take a punt on the hosts to win both halves, which is nicely priced at 10/3. There is also good value in 7/5 for Stoke to be winning at half time and full time in this one.
