EFL Cup Betting Preview: Sunderland vs Huddersfield

Premier League club Sunderland host League One side Huddersfield in this EFL Cup second round match at Stadium of Light, with kick-off set for 14:45 on Tuesday 26 August. Our betting preview features expert predictions, betting tips, the latest odds, H2H stats, team news and confirmed lineups.

We’re not expecting both Sunderland and Huddersfield to find the net and that leads us to the Both Teams to Score market. We can back BTTS No and feel optimistic considering the odds of -120 are value.

Sunderland were beaten in their last game. On their travels, they suffered a 2-0 Premier League loss against Burnley at Turf Moor. The Black Cats had the majority of the ball boasting 58% possession and one shot on target.

Huddersfield Town secured a 1-0 League One home win over Stevenage at John Smith's Stadium in their previous game.

In the first round of the EFL Cup, Huddersfield beat Leicester City at home on penalties (2-2 after 90 mins).

Sunderland vs Huddersfield Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

The bookies have Sunderland as -139 favourites for this EFL Cup clash, with the Full-Time Result betting odds implying that they are 58% likely to win. Huddersfield Town are seen as the most unlikely winner at +350.

Sunderland -0.75 at -110 means you split your Asian Handicap stake between -0.5 and -1. You ideally want a win by two goals or more against Huddersfield, although a one-goal victory means a half-stake return and a refund with the other half.

The latest betting suggests it’s a close call between Over 2.5 Goals and Under 2.5 Goals. Both Teams to Score is a two-way market and, in terms of price, there’s not much to split Yes and No.
