Tuesday’s Carabao Cup Tips: Can Bournemouth and West Brom go through?

Preview and odds for third round ties

The Premier League’s big boys enter the Carabao Cup this evening as the competition moves onto the third round stage.

There are 10 ties to get stuck into in total. The Coral News Team has provided picks for the best of the action.

AFC Bournemouth to beat Blackburn Rovers @ 8/15

Eddie Howe likes to make changes to his Cherries side in cup competitions. Usually it bears fruit. Bournemouth have won five of their last six Carabao Cup ties at home to lower league opposition.

Visitors Blackburn are also likely to switch things up as they bid to avoid a seventh defeat in 10 away matches in this tournament.

Blackpool v QPR – Draw @ 23/10

Queens Park Rangers love their trips to the seaside. Steve McLaren’s men have lost just one of their last 20 matches against tonight’s opponents in all competitions.

Four of the last six meetings have ended in draws. Both sides are expected to make changes tonight, which could lend itself to a close encounter on the Lancashire coast.

Burton Albion to beat Burnley @ 16/5

Sean Dyche and co. rarely enjoy themselves in this competition. Burnley’s 2-0 success over Blackburn last season is their only win in the Carabao Cup since 2013.

Could that present an opportunity for League One Burton? The Brewers are on a run of four straight home wins, excluding the EFL Trophy, and make for an enticing proposition this evening.
