Bournemouth take on the visitors Brighton at "Vitality Stadium" in the 1/16 stage of the English Carabao Cup. The game will be played on Tuesday, September 19th.
Due to the calendar these two teams played in Bournemouth last Saturday in the Premier League with the hosting side having won 2:1 thanks to the goals scored by Andrew Surman and Jermain Defoe. The points gained in that clash became the first one earned by "The Cherries" in the elite division this season resulted in the team's occupying the 19th place in the table with three points taken. As for the Carabao Cup, Bournemouth defeated Birmingham 2:1 in the previous stage. In 2017 "The Cherries" conducted 13 encounters in front of their supporters, having got five victories, three draws and five losses.

By having lost to Bournemouth last Saturday Brighton broke their three-match unbeaten series. After five rounds played in the Premier League, "The Seagulls" settle on the 16th position in the standings with four points earned and 4-7 goal difference. The team knocked out Barnet 1:0 in the 1/32 stage of the Carabao Cup. "The Seagulls" were not very successfully on the road in this season, having lost two times with a single draw gained, having been failing to get a triumph at away turfs since the 14th of April across five consecutive clashes.
Bournemouth are more successful in their head-to-heads against Brighton, having not been broken by their opponent across seven recent games in a row with three last encounters won with 3:2, 2:0 and 2:1 scorelines. I believe that both head-coaches will use rotation in the upcoming Cup fight, consequently, the game may be a whole different from the recent clash in the Premier League, however, I don't think there will be scored more than three goals in it.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
