Scunthorpe hosts Doncaster for this EFL Cup clash tonight. A very interesting match betting-wise! This is a normally a pretty important competition for smaller teams but not for all the teams and not every season. Also, not all matches are a priority..The line ups and be very different from normal which sometimes offer lucrative betting opportunities for professional bettors like me and today for my fans too. In these kinds of matches getting all the necessary info as soon as possible is vital. The problem is the info is often only partially verified and there is almost always an element of speculation and it is also worth realizing that the managers do not always tell the truth.. However, today we have good case and whilst odds might be moving a lot in this match I am hoping to offer at least most of the buyers a very good pick!

Indeed, the visitors have huge problems with their squad ahead of this match. They have an awfully long list of injuries and as a result of these doubtful players are many as well. It seems very much possible that Richie Wellens only has five regular "adult" players in his team tonight.. Some 15 players seem to be missing according to most recent info. He has said that the youth team will be training with and has implied that that many of them will get the chance to show what they are capable of! Doncaster do have some promising youngsters but overall their level is of course from that of the regular players' Wellens has highlighted that that his teams focus is on Saturday's important match versus Lincoln City in League One. He has also said, however, that he might be willing to risk it with a few doubtful regular players - perhaps for less than the full 90 minutes.. The hosts are expect to rotate too though, but they should be solid favorites for this match. It is hard to give a sharp estimation but I would say around 55% and clearly over 70% not to lose here!

To sum up, this seems to be a better than average bet. My pick is Scunthorpe +0.5 goals handicap here!
