Sky Sports betting expert Lewis Jones breaks down the Carabao Cup quarter-final clash between Liverpool and Chelsea. Jones notes that the over 12+ free kicks line for the opposition has won in all but one of Andoni Iraola’s games in charge of Liverpool, with only LASK avoiding that trend in a match Liverpool were short favourites to win. The free kick average sits at 15.5 per game and is expected to remain consistent given Iraola’s aggressive style and demand for tactical fouls.
Looking at historical data, the last 15 Carabao Cup fourth or fifth round games featuring two traditional Big Six teams have averaged 3.6 goals per game. Based on these trends, Jones recommends backing the Liverpool to make 14+ fouls and over 2.5 goals market at Sky Bet priced at 2/1.
The match promises high intensity and attacking football, with both managers likely to rotate squads while maintaining competitive edge in the domestic cup competition. Stay tuned for live updates, team news, and real-time tactical analysis as the action unfolds.
