Both teams are very serious about the upcoming game. Reaching the quarterfinals of the League Cup would be a serious achievement for either side. We expect equal play on a collision course with a large number of attacks and scoring chances. In 4 out of 5 previous head-to-head games, the teams didn't score more than two goals, but today both teams have lots of motivation. We predict at least 3 goals in this match.
