[Football- England 'EFL Cup'] 22.9/ 20:00 West Bromwich- Brentford
West Brom is expected to rotate their squad today. West Brom's focus is staying in the top flight while Brentford hopes to prove they can compete and make it to the top flight. In West Brom's previous matchup, they found themselves down a man at half vs. Everton after a red card. Prior to that, they looked much better than they did in the previous league match vs. Leicester. West Brom had a comfortable 3-0 win in the second round of the EFL Cup vs. Harrogate Town despite their previous trends vs. them. Brentford had a very surprising 2-0 win over Southampton, and more recently recorded a 3-0 win over Hudderfield in a league match. West Brom has been struggling defensively lately, conceding 8 goals in 2 matches in the Prem. A total of 20 goals have been scored within their last 6 matches, averaging a little over 3 goals per match. 8 of these have been scored by West Brom. On the other side, Brentford has seen 15 goals netted in their past 6 games, with 10 of them being in their favor. Given that Brentford was able to hold a Prem side to nil, not to mention a team with MUCH more recent Premiere League experience than West Brom, Brentford should come into this game feeling more confident than West Brom. Since their last defeat, Brentford has kept 2 clean sheets and netted 5 goals despite a weakened side. Brentford looks to be in good form and have been playing with some great chemistry. Both teams have scored in 2 of their last 4 meetings, and given that West Brom is expected to give their second team some much needed playing time, I think it happens again today. West Brom is looking to make some late additions before the transfer window closes, and today will be a perfect opportunity to do so by starting their second team against a strong opposition. This should be a close game, and I could see it being a 2-1 or 2-2 match.
