Bournemouth vs Aston Villa
EFL Cup, Wednesday, 3:45pm ET

Play: Ross Barkley to Score or Assist
Odds at Time of Release: +220 FD
Line Parameter: Good to +200

Ross Barkley has started just 7 matches this season, but in the last 3 (vs Fenerbahce, Viking and Coventry) he had 4 goals and 2 assists, either scoring or assisting in all 3 (he did both in 2 of 3). Sometimes takes the Penalty Kicks, and with Aston Villa using two non-wing backs in BOTH wing back positions (neither of whom is very creative) means that someone else has to create plays for Villa. I already like Mbaye to score or assist, adding Barkley who has a ton of experience, has been hot and is looking to shine as much as possible when starting.

Take 1* on Ross Barkley to Score or Assist (+220 FD), good to +200. Best played at FanDuel who count assists differently and give us more chances to land this bet.

Bournemouth vs Aston Villa
EFL Cup, Wednesday, 3:45pm ET

Play: Ibrahim Mbaye to Score or Assist
Odds at Time of Release: +220 FD
Line Parameter: Line good to +200

Don't look now, but Mbaye has scored or assisted in ALL 5 starts for club and country this season, with 1 goal and 4 assists. Assisted in Villa's matches vs Viking and Fenerbahce in the Champions League, and in the previous round of the EFL Cup against Coventry, assisted in Senegal's match vs Comoros and scored vs Ethiopia. He also assisted a goal in Saturday's 2-1 home win vs Man City. Now getting the starting nod and based on his stats, a bet on Mbaye to score or assist totally makes sense.

Take 1* on Ibrahim Mbaye to Score or Assist (+220 FD), good to +200. Best played at FanDuel who count assists differently and give us more chances to land this bet.
