Carling Cup Round One Northern Section preview and betting tips

A guide to the best bets from this week's Carling Cup Northern Section matches.

Morecambe travel to Barnsley and will hope to repeat their Carling Cup run of four years ago when they knocked out Preston and Wolves on their way to the Third round. Morecambe are 6.00 with bet365 to win in normal time at Oakwell and 11/4 to qualify with StanJames, whilst a win for the Championship side is around 1.50, with 8/15 the best price with bet365.

Burnley host Burton Albion in a first round tie at Turf Moor, with Burnley the strong favourites to win at 1.40 across the board. There’s little value there, so perhaps a bet on Jay Rodriguez to score first at 5.50 is the favoured bet, should the Burnley striker start.

Coventry travel to League One Bury who secured a great point at favourites for the League One title Huddersfield on Saturday, and this looks a tie where an upset could be on the cards. Bury are best priced 15/8 with Skybet to overcome the Sky Blues, but a Coventry win at Gigg Lane is good value at 2.40, with bet365, as the Shakers are more comfortable away from home than on their own patch.

Derby County face a tough test on Tuesday against Shrewsbury and there’s no value backing Derby at 4/7 (bet365) despite beating Birmingham on Saturday. Derby have lost out in the first round to League Two opposition two years running, which make a Shrewsbury win at 6.00 seem too big, again with bet365.

Doncaster lost out to League Two Accrington Stanley last year, so Tranmere to qualify at 3.25 with William Hill stands out. However, Doncaster on home turf are hard to ignore at 5/6 with bet365.

Expect wins for Hull (5/11 Unibet) against Macclesfield (7.50 bet365) and Middlesbrough (2.1 Victor Chandler) at Walsall (13/5 bet365), while Leicester (8/13 Betfred) may be surprised at Rotherham (7.00 bet365) and Blackpool (8/5 bet365) face a very tricky test at Sheffield Wednesday on Thursday (13/8 Stan James) as Holloway may keep some first team players fresh for the visit of Peterborough on Sunday.
