EFL Cup picks for Tottenham vs. Liverpool

Before you tune in to Wednesday’s match, you need to see the EFL Cup picks from soccer expert Jon Eimer. Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, he has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. The Indiana-based handicapper compiled a winning record of 260-133-1 with over 90 units of profit for his community on various platforms over a recent two-month stretch.

For Tottenham vs. Liverpool, Eimer is backing over 3.5 goals to be scored for a -135 payout. Both teams have scored in nine straight meetings dating back to the 2019-2020 season. Three of the last four matches between these teams have ended with over 3.5 goals, and Liverpool have scored four or more goals in three of those fixtures.

The expert acknowledges that Spurs are struggling defensively and dealing with the background chatter regarding manager Ange Postecoglou’s job, but he still expects them to put up a fight on their home pitch. He doesn’t, however, think they’ll be able to upset the Reds.

“Liverpool is, frankly, too good right now to lose to Spurs,” Eimer told SportsLine. “However, I expect both teams to score and goals galore, just like we’ve seen in the last five head-to-head matches between the two sides.” Stream the game here and check out full soccer coverage on CBS Sports Golazo Network.
