Carling Cup - Round 2 2nd Betting round

Time for another set of bets, and for tonight I've picked 3 matches from the Carling Cup.

First match is the encounter between Leyton Orient and Stoke City. There's usually quite a huge difference between playing in the Premier League and League 1, and although the Carling Cup is known for it's surprises, I don't believe that Leyton have got what it takes to qualify for the next round.

Stoke have gotten a decent start in the Premiership and nicked 4 points in the first 3 matches, and despite not scoring in the last two matches, I have a good feeling about this one and believe that their quality definitely will see off the challenge from Orient.
My bet : €10 on Stoke to win, odds 10/11

Next match on the betting programme is the one I feel most confident about, Doncaster versus Tottenham. These two teams represent night and day in their respective league. While Spurs have gotten the most memorable start to the Premier League in many years and have maximum points after three matches, Doncaster are yet to record their first win in the Championship this season. They're however not in a miserable position, as they've drawn 3 of 4.

I would be very disappointed if Redknapps boys don't take this one within 90 minutes, and on top of that I believe that this could very well be the match with a goal galore.
My bet : €10 on Tottenham to win, odds 4/9

Finally I've picked my first match where a team from Premier League isn't represented, the clash between Cardiff City and Bristol Rovers. I'm very certain of one thing only in this match; If Michael Chopra is in the beginning eleven, Rovers might as well raise the white flag, as they won't stand a chance. Chopra is the man behind 75% of Cardiffs goals in the Championship so far, scoring an amazing 6 goals in 3 games!!

Bristol Rovers on the other hand have also gotten a good start in League 1 and currently find themselves in 4th position, with 9 points from 4 matches. This is the first encounter between these two sides in 9 years, and I only hope that tonights result will be similar to the last one, where Cardiff sent Rovers out of the FA Cup with a 5-1 thrashing.
My bet : €20 on Cardiff to win, odds 8/15
