Brighton – Wolverhampton: betting tip for the League Cup match
Brighton and Wolverhampton have started the season differently. The Seagulls have not lost a single match in the Premier League and are in the top 6. The Wolves have only one point in four rounds. The rivals will play a face-to-face match in the 1/16 finals of the League Cup on September 18. How will the game go and is it worth betting on the hosts today? - the answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Brighton & Hove Albion
EnglandCurrent form
Brighton can put the opening period of the season down as an asset. Under the leadership of Fabian Hürzeler, the Seagulls have not suffered a single defeat in four rounds of the Premier League and are in sixth place with eight points. They managed to win two games at first, followed by draws with Arsenal (1:1) and Ipswich (0:0). We would also like to highlight their reliable play in defense – they have only conceded two goals. In the League Cup at the previous stage, Brighton thrashed Crawley Town with class (4:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Milner, March and O'Reilly ruled out today due to injury
Interesting trends for betting
- Brighton have not lost in the first half in their last five matches
- In the previous four matches, the Seagulls were losing in fouls
Tentative line-up : Verbruggen – Veltman, van Hecke, Dank, Hinshelwood – Minthe, Joao Pedro, Aiyari, Mitoma – Welbeck, Rutter.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
EnglandCurrent form
Wolverhampton are not having the best start to the season. After four rounds, the Wolves have a modest one point in the Premier League and are in 18th place in the relegation zone in the standings. Gary O'Neill's men earned their only point in the match against Nottingham Forest (1:1). The team's defensive performance raises many questions - 11 goals conceded in four matches. In the League Cup in the 1/32 finals, Wolverhampton beat Burnley 2:0 at home.
Disqualifications and injuries
Traore, Kalajdzic and Gonzalez are injured and will not take to the field today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Wolves have won the first half in only one of their last five matches
- In four of the last five matches, Wolverhampton Wanderers have been caught offside more often than their opponents
Probable line-up : Johnston - Semedo, Mosquera, Dawson, Ait-Nouri - Lemina, Andre, Gomez, Bellegarde - Cunha - Larsen.

7.40Tip and bets
When choosing a bet on the outcome of the upcoming match, we recommend starting from the game that the teams demonstrate at the start of the season. Brighton is playing much better and more organized now, and the home field factor is on their side. It is unlikely that Wolverhampton, with its constant failures in defense, will be able to play on equal terms with the Seagulls.
Our prediction is a Brighton win with odds of 1.60
Bet on total
Brighton have conceded just two goals in four Premier League games. At the same time, no match involving the Seagulls in the championship has seen more than three goals scored. We don't expect a very productive game today, especially since the rivals have only scored one goal between them in their previous two head-to-head encounters.
The second bet is total under three goals with odds of 1.69
Bet on the first half
In their last three victories, Brighton have built up a lead in the first half, winning in that period. We expect the same scenario to unfold on the pitch this time.
Prediction: Brighton win in the first half with odds of 2.06
