English Football League Cup

Carabao Cup Betting

The English Football League Cup, otherwise known as the Carabao Cup for sponsorship reasons, is one of three major domestic trophies available to clubs in England alongside the Premier League and the FA Cup.

All 72 clubs in the English Football League (EFL) and 20 clubs from the Premier League participate in the Carabao Cup, with teams competing in Europe only entering the competition in the third round. The first seven rounds follow a knock-out format while the semi-finals are contested over two legs.

The winners of the semi-finals will secure their place at Wembley for a chance to lift the Carabao Cup. While this competition has become synonymous with showcasing the next generation of players, there is an added incentive for clubs to field full strength teams as the champions earn automatic qualification to the Europa League.

You can find the latest Carabao Cup betting odds here at Paddy Power as 92 teams compete for one of the most historic pieces of silverware in English football.

From the first kick in August to the final kick under the Wembley arch, you can explore our EFL Cup betting markets throughout the season.

How to read Carabao Cup Odds?

Keep this principle in mind when reading Carabao Cup odds: lower odds indicate a higher likelihood of a specific result, while higher odds imply a smaller chance of a particular outcome.
