✅ 1. Stoke City vs Bradford City
John Pentin; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Stoke are off to a blistering start this season, securing four wins from four and showing real attacking intent, including a notable away victory over Southampton. While they required penalties to move past Walsall in the first round, the Potters’ overall form – particularly at home – makes them tough to oppose.
Bradford arrive with confidence too, but their opposition so far has been modest, and they are facing a Championship side playing with cohesion and belief. Graham Alexander’s men have been involved in close matches, many finishing 2-1, but their defensive frailties may get exposed here.
Missing key players like Joe Wright and potentially top scorer Andy Cook, the Bantams will find it hard to contain a free-flowing Stoke who are targeting a deep run in this competition. Expect the home side to control proceedings from the outset and capitalise on any weaknesses.
Best bet – Stoke City to Win and Over 2.5 Goals

✅ 2. Swansea City vs Plymouth Argyle
Herrin Kendrick; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Swansea come into this tie with encouraging momentum and home advantage, having picked up a gritty draw against Watford after two impressive wins. Their victory in the previous round against Crawley Town showcased not just attacking flair but also defensive discipline.
Plymouth, now under Tom Cleverley, have endured a tough start in League One, with only one win from their opening four matches. While they edged QPR in the cup and beat Blackpool at the weekend, the trip to Wales will be a much sterner challenge.
Swansea boast a dominant record in this fixture, winning 11 of their last 12 against Argyle. With in-form winger Ronald and striker Cullen expected to start, Swansea’s superior quality in midfield and attack should see them through comfortably against a side struggling to adapt to the demands of the new season.
Best bet – Swansea City to Win to Nil
✅ 3. Wigan Athletic vs Stockport County
Wolfgang Shotten; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Wigan have been a tough nut to crack at home and showed flashes of quality in their 2-0 win over Peterborough and solid outing in the EFL Cup against Notts County. Despite drawing against Rotherham last time out, their forward line remains dangerous, particularly on home turf.
Stockport are no pushovers and boast an impressive scoring record – 12 goals in their last six matches – but they’ve conceded in five of those games. Manager Dave Challinor has yet to find the right balance at the back, and against Wigan’s attacking threats, that’s a dangerous mix.
Given both teams’ recent trends, an open game is expected. However, with Wigan’s strength at home and Stockport’s vulnerability in defence, the hosts are well-placed to edge this one in a high-scoring affair.
Best bet – Wigan to Win and Both Teams to Score
✅ 4. Sheffield Wednesday vs Leeds United
Linus Bergström; Sports journalist at BettingTips4You
Rationale:
Sheffield Wednesday’s campaign has been rocky, with a single win in four matches and a worrying defensive record. While they showed fight in the draw with Wrexham, conceding two goals at home raises doubts about their backline ahead of a visit from Premier League opposition.
Leeds, despite a bruising loss to Arsenal, are operating at a higher level and boast serious firepower. With Daniel James, Gnonto and Lukas Nmecha pushing for starts, the visitors have the kind of attacking depth that could overwhelm Wednesday’s weakened defence – especially with Di’Shon Bernard and Chalobah both unavailable.
In the last two meetings, Leeds won by a combined score of 5-0, and with the gulf in quality, this could follow a similar script. Leeds will look to make a statement in the cup after their top-flight return and should do so convincingly here.
Best bet – Leeds to Win and Over 2.5 Goals
