Brighton vs Liverpool: League Cup match prediction
Brighton have not lost to Liverpool in their last three home games. In particular, a year ago, it was the Seagulls who knocked out the Merseysiders in a home match in the FA Cup Round of 32. This time, the teams met at the League Cup Round of 16 stage. Will the hosts be able to surprise again? – the answer is in our forecast. What are the best bets to make on the game?
Command Analysis
Brighton & Hove Albion
EnglandCurrent form
Brighton are in sixth place in the Premier League after nine rounds, which can be considered a positive result. The Seagulls have suffered only one defeat, but have drawn four times, and not always with strong opponents. Thus, in the last round, they were unable to beat Wolverhampton on their home field (2:2), although they were leading 2:0 until the 85th minute. It is noticeable that Fabian Hürzeler charges often lack stability and concentration in individual matches. Brighton have passed two rounds in the League Cup. They managed to beat Crawley Town (4:0) on class, after which there was a 3:2 victory over Wolverhampton.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brighton have Milner, Pedro, O'Reilly, Webster and March on the sidelines, with Dunk in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Brighton are unbeaten against Liverpool in their last three home games, winning two and drawing one.
- In the two previous matches, the Seagulls won in the first half

Liverpool
EnglandCurrent form

Thus, the Merseysiders lost the first line in the table, giving it to Manchester City. The difference between the title contenders is only one point. In general, Arne Sloth charges are having a strong season - only one defeat in official matches, which happened at home to Nottingham Forest (0:1). In the Champions League, the Reds have earned the maximum nine points in three rounds and are at the top of the overall table together with Aston Villa. In the League Cup, Liverpool has one completed round under their belt, in which there was a crushing 5:1 victory over West Ham.

9.60Tip and bets
At the previous stage, in the match against West Ham, Arne Slot actively used the reserves. Then they managed to beat the Londoners without any problems, but today is not the most convenient opponent. Given the tight schedule, it is highly likely that the Merseysiders will again take to the field in a far from optimal lineup and the Seagulls will have a chance to prove themselves. Let us recall that Brighton has not lost to Liverpool in three previous matches at home. We are inclined to believe that the series will not be interrupted today.
Our prediction is Brighton not to lose at odds of 1.77
Bet on total
It is unlikely that we should expect closed football. In face-to-face matches, the opponents regularly please with high efficiency; for five matches in a row, less than three goals have not been scored. We expect in the forecast that today, too, at least three goals will be scored.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.62
Bet on the first half
In three of the last four head-to-head matches, the teams ended in a draw at the end of the first half. It is highly likely that this time the opponents will not force the events on the field.
Forecast - draw in the first half with odds of 2.50
