BOOSTED ODDS FOR THE EFL CUP HERE
BRIGHTON V ASTON VILLA ODDS HERE!
Recent Form
Brighton were unlucky not to pick up all three points at Newcastle on Saturday in a game which they dominated yet somehow failed to find the net.
Villa also put in a stellar performance away at Arsenal, scoring twice but eventually going down 3-2 despite having a man advantage for the majority of the contest.
Both teams will fancy their chances in this one and so it could come down to whoever wants it more on the day.
Graham Potter has transformed the Seagulls’ style of play this year, and with new striker Neal Maupay beginning to find his feat in the top flight, it’s exciting times for Brighton fans and they’ll be left wondering how they’ve won just one of their six outings since the opening day.
Villa struggled to get going this season and are still without an away point in the league, but with those games coming against promising London outfits Arsenal, Palace and Spurs, they shouldn’t be too disheartened.
Both sides have a relatively poor record in this competition in recent years, as the hosts have only once progressed past this stage this century, and required a 92nd minute winner to down league one side Bristol Rovers in the last round, while Villa are W4-L3 since they last played a Premier League outfit in this cup back in October 2015, having not progressed past the fourth round since 2012/13, so there’s little case to be made for either team.
Under 2.5 Goals
Brighton have been notoriously low scores this season. Excluding free-scoring Man City and struggling Watford, their four Premier League games have ended with two goals or fewer, including all three fixtures at Amex Stadium, while Dean Smith’s men went 2-0, 0-1, 0-0 in the league before their free-flowing encounter against 10-man Arsenal, so we’re inclined to expect a low score.
Indeed, Brighton travel to Chelsea before hosting Spurs in their next two league fixtures, so Potter will be looking to avoid a tiring open encounter before those clashes.
