Brighton 1/2 to beat Forest Green in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup showdown

Competition: Carabao Cup

Market: Brighton win

Odds: 1/2 @ 888sport

Looking to extend on their Carabao Cup run on Wednesday night, Brighton will make the trip to League One outfit Forest Green in midweek.

Starting with the hosts, while Forest Green might have clinched a maiden League One campaign earlier in the year, they have largely struggled to make the step up in class. In their opening four third-tier matchups so far this season, they have recorded just a single win, a single draw and two defeats, scoring four and conceding seven in return. Managing to muster a points tally of four from a possible 12, they currently find themselves sat down in 20th and with just their goal difference keeping them outside the relegation zone. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a thumping 3-0 defeat at home against Plymouth, Forest Green have won just a pair of their previous seven matchups continuing on from their pre-season preparations. Likewise, it should also be noted, Wednesday’s hosts have won just one of their previous five home fixtures.

As for the visitors, last seen over the weekend putting in another impressive display, Brighton are enjoying a real early-season purple patch. In their opening three Premier League matchups, they have recorded two victories and a single draw, recording four and conceding just one in return. Managing to muster a points tally of seven from a possible nine, the Seagulls are also just one of seven top-flight teams who are yet to suffer a single defeat. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 2-0 victory away at West Ham, Brighton are unbeaten in each of their last 11 Premier League contests continuing on from last season. Likewise, including their pre-season run, the midweek guests have won each of their previous four away fixtures. Given the recent gulf in class between Wednesday’s opponents, we’re backing an away victory here.
