The EFL Cup has reached the semifinal stage, with four teams remaining. Nottingham Forest will take on Manchester United in the first leg of their semifinal, and we have brought you betting tips for this game.

Nottingham Forest defeated Wolves on penalties in the quarterfinal and can now reach their first EFL Cup final since 1982. 

Manchester United are having a good season under Erik ten Hag, as they dispatched Aston Villa, Burnley, and Charlton in the EFL Cup this season and are currently the favorites to lift the trophy at 1.83 odds on Bet9ja.

These sides have met once this season in the English Premier League, with the Red Devils recording a convincing 3-0 victory. Here are some betting tips from this EFL Cup semi-final.

Manchester United to win @ 1.70 odds on Bet9ja

The Red Devils lost to Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday and will hope to bounce back against Nottingham Forest. Having already defeated Forest this season, Ten Hag’s side will look to repeat this feat, and we are backing them to do so. United have won their last six games against Forest, and they are significantly better than Steve Cooper’s side this season. 

Manchester United to score first  @ 1.53 odds on Bet9ja

Manchester United have scored first in eight of their last nine games across all competitions, and we are backing them to score first against Forest. Forest have one of the worst defenses in the EPL, having conceded 35 goals in 20 games. United will be the toughest team Forest has faced in the EFL Cup so far, and we think they will concede in the opening 30 minutes. 

Marcus Rashford has scored 17 goals for Manchester United this season

Marcus Rashford to score @ 2.30 odds on SportyBet

Rashford has scored in all of United’s EFL Cup games this season, bagging four goals in three games. The England international is in top form, with 17 goals and 6 assists in all competitions, and he looks likely to continue this run.
