Smart Acca Picks: Plymouth vs Peterborough Could Provide Plenty of Action

Plymouth and Peterborough go head to head in the first round of the EFL Cup at Home Park in what could be a goal fest.

These two sides met in the same round of this competition last season, of which Plymouth emerged as 4-0 victors thanks to a Ryan Hardie brace, as well as strikes from Luke Jephcott and Panutche Camara.

Argyle were beaten 2-1 at Fleetwood Town after defeating Barnsley 1-0 on the opening day of the season.

Meanwhile, Peterborough have made a perfect start to their season under Grant McCann, having beaten both Morecambe 3-0 and Cheltenham Town 3-2.

Port Vale goes up against Rotherham United in the League Cup, with the visitors coming in as favourites.

Vale’s results have heavily contracted so far this season, having beaten Fleetwood Town 2-1 before being thumped 4-0 by Exeter City.

Rotherham have only played one match due to their game at Coventry being postponed. Their only result of the season saw them get a 1-1 draw at home to Swansea on the opening weekend of the campaign.

The next tip is also from the League Cup, as Coventry City hosts Bristol City in an all-Championship affair.

Coventry’s only match of the season saw them draw 1-1 with Sunderland thanks to a superb strike from Swedish forward Viktor Gyokeres after initially falling behind to a Jack Clarke goal.

On the other hand, Bristol City have lost both of their matches, having been defeated 2-1 by Hull City and 3-2 at home to Sunderland last time out.

Luzern faces off against Grasshopper in the Swiss Super League, with the away side having an opportunity to go top of the table.

Grasshopper have played three matches in Switzerland’s top-flight, managing seven points following 2-1 and 3-2 wins over Lugano and St. Gallen on either side of a 1-1 draw with Young Boys.

The final tip on this list comes from Sheffield Wednesday against Sunderland in the first round of the EFL Cup at Hillsborough.

Wednesday enters this match with four points from their opening two league games having drawn 3-3 with Portsmouth on the opening day of the season before earning a narrow 1-0 win away at MK Dons thanks to a Josh Windass goal.

Sunderland have had a good start to life in the Championship after beating Bristol City 3-2 last time out following a 1-1 draw with Coventry City on matchday one.
