The EFL Cup is a difficult competition to predict, given the big changes Premier League managers tend to make to their line-ups. That was evident again last night at Fleetwood and is why Wednesday’s Tip of the day has gone abroad
We focus on Serie A and the battle for the Scudetto.
The first of our two-legged aca is for AC Milan to beat Bologna at San Siro.
Ruben Amorim may not have enjoyed his return to England last week, with his side beaten 3-0 at Bournemouth, but they are unbeaten in the Italian top flight and enjoyed excellent wins over Atalanta and Udinese in their last two matches.
Bologna are 13th but struggle against the strongest teams in the division after losing to Lazio, Atalanta, Napoli and Inter Milan.
Inter also take part in the second leg of the double.
The reigning champions visit Venice, having dropped two points from their first eight games. The home side have only won once, albeit a fine 1-0 win over Napoli, but we don’t see them repeating that against the Nerazzurri.
Wednesday Tip of the Day (odds are bet365 and correct as of 09:00 on Wednesday 27 October)
AC Milan beat Bologna on 11/8
Inter Milan beat Venezia on 11/4
Combined odds of 1.35/1
