EFL Trophy Betting & Odds

Not every fan gets to see their team triumph in the FA Cup at Wembley. While giant killings have been a staple of the FA Cup for well over a hundred years, sometimes those fans of teams lower down the footballing pyramid deserve their time in the Wembley sun too.

For teams battling it out in League One and League Two and a few added extras, the EFL Trophy is the perfect competition. And at BetVictor as we simply can’t get enough of travelling down to the real heart of English Football, we bring you the best EFL Trophy betting markets and odds from Round One right the way through to the trophy being lifted at Wembley’s showpiece final.

Since beginning life in the 1980s, the EFL Trophy has undergone a few format changes to become the competition we know and love today.

Currently, the league and knock-out tournament are made up of the 48 teams in League One and League Two as well as 16 Category 1 Premier League and EFL Championship Academy/Under 21 teams. The competition kicks off with 16 regional groups of four, with the top two from each group making their way into the knockout stages.

There are two rounds of regional knock-out fixtures before the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final.

Established in 1983-84 as the Associate Members Cup, the EFL Trophy has always featured English and Welsh teams competing in the third and fourth tiers of the English Football League.

There have been significant structural changes down the years including changes in the group format and the introduction of Conference Teams. These teams from outside the Football League were restricted in 2006-07, with the latest change and the introduction of Academy sides occurring in the 2016-17 season.

The most successful club in EFL Trophy history is Bristol City, while Portsmouth are the current champions winning it for the first time in 2019. To be fair their fans also tasted FA Cup glory not too long ago!

Our EFL betting markets include a range of EFL Trophy odds from the outright winner, to the teams that make up the showpiece final at Wembley Stadium.

We’ll also bring you a selection of match betting markets including Both Teams To Score, Correct Score, Total Goals Over/Under, Half Time/Full time and a wide range of goalscorer options.
