With an approximate 68% chance of succeeding, the bookies are being cautious with their -213 betting odds for Everton triumphing in this EFL Cup encounter. Wolverhampton Wanderers are the outsiders at +550 which suggests a lower likelihood of winning.
If you take Everton -1.25 on the Asian Handicap at +102, you need them to have a 2+ margin of victory for a full return against Wolves. A triumph by one goal would mean half your stake is returned.
