1x2 Odds Suggest a Close Encounter

The bookmakers have betting odds of +138 for Wrexham to triumph in this EFL Cup clash, with Hull City trading at a price of +190 if you think they’ll win, while the draw is chalked up at +245.

A win for Wrexham would see a full payout on the Asian Handicap -0.25 option. You can get -104 that they overcome Hull going down this route and half stake refunded if it’s a draw.

A low-scoring contest will be predicted by several which is reflected in the fact that Under 2.5 Goals has the shortest odds. Both Teams to Score is a two-way market and, in terms of price, there’s not much to split Yes and No.
