Live on Sky Sports+: Tuesday 19:30. Stockport County v Crewe Alexandra. There’s a north-west clash taking place at Edgeley Park between Stockport County and Crewe. The former look like one of the stronger sides in League One and Coral offer 5/6 that Dave Challinor’s side get the job done. Alex have made a bright start to their League Two campaign and William Hill chalk up 16/5 for an away win.
Live on Sky Sports+: Tuesday 19:45. Blackburn Rovers v Bradford City. There’s likely to be plenty of Bradford fans making the trip to Ewood Park for this Tuesday night EFL Cup encounter.

Live on Sky Sports+: Tuesday 19:45. Bristol City v MK Dons. Bristol City began their 2025/26 campaign with an eye-catching victory at Sheffield United and the Robins are now a 7/10 chance with William Hill to overcome MK Dons at Ashton Gate.

Nigel Clough might be tempted to throw this game as a result although Coral offer 21/10 that the League One side triumph.
Live on Sky Sports+: Tuesday 19:45. Coventry City v Luton Town. Coventry City were unable to break down Hull City on Saturday and the Sky Blues now face a Luton side who were relegated from the Championship last term.

Pompey are a 4/5 chance with Ladbrokes to down a Royals side who are rock bottom of the League One table. A home win to nil can be wagered at 13/5 with Coral and that looks like an attractive bet.
Live on Sky Sports+: Tuesday 19:45. Watford v Norwich City. Watford and Norwich have an all-Championship clash at Vicarage Road, with the Hornets available at 29/20 with Betfred.
