English domestic football’s first piece of major silverware of the season is available today and the EFL Cup final makes up one half of our Sunday betting tips. As we look ahead to Chelsea v Liverpool at Wembley as well as Wolverhampton Wanderers v Sheffield United in the Premier League, odds for our daily betting tips come courtesy of Unibet.
Chelsea v Liverpool: Both teams to score & over 2.5 match goals - Evens
More out of hope than expectation, we’re backing this season’s EFL Cup final to buck a recent trend and produce a decent amount of goals on Sunday. Four of the past five editions of Sunday’s cup final have produced under 2.5 match goals, including a 0-0 draw when this year’s finalists met in 2022. However, Liverpool head into the match without a clean sheet in seven matches in all competitions and on the back of successive 4-1 wins over Brentford and Luton Town. Additionally, both teams have scored in each of Chelsea’s last five matches.
As a bonus bet, you should consider Cody Gakpo to score at any time at Wembley. The Dutch international has already netted four times in this season’s EFL Cup and with continuing injury concerns for Darwin Nunez, Mohamed Salah and Diogo Jota, Gakpo’s goals could prove invaluable to Jurgen Klopp’s side in the coming weeks. Gakpo is 49/20 to score at any time with Unibet.
Wolves v Sheffield United: Wolves to win & over 2.5 match goals - 23/25
Sheffield United have not won at Molineux for more than 21 years and there is very little to indicate that that winless run is about to come to and end on Sunday. The Blades have just 13 points in the league this season and possess both the Premier League’s worst attack and worst defence with an eye-watering goal difference of -43 after 25 matches. Wolves to win and over 2.5 match goals looks a wise choice.
Given the recent injury to Matheus Cunha, Hwang Hee-chan’s return to Premier League action is a timely boost for Wolves. The South Korean international is Wolves’ top scorer in the league this season with ten goals and he is priced at 21/20 to score at any time against Sheffield United this afternoon.
