Brighton & Hove Albion hosts Manchester United in the English EFL Cup 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, September 30th at Amex Stadium (Brighton)
At the start of the season, Brighton looks quite good in terms of the game. Yes, the Seagulls lost to Chelsea, but they showed themselves more than worthy. Then they hammered Newcastle away (0:3). The other day, Brighton lost to Manchester United in the Premier League (2:3), but the score does not reflect the events on the field. The Seagulls should have won that match with confidence because they literally "pull" the Devils across the field throughout the game and hit the woodwork five (!!!) times! In the League Cup, Brighton gained confident victories over Portsmouth (4:0) and Preston (2:0). In general, the team is in perfect shape.

The Red Devils showed a frankly unconvincing start of the season. In the first round, they lost to Crystal Palace at home, and the second one could end in a defeat to Brighton – Manchester gained three points only thanks to incredible luck. The Devils urgently need to improve their positions in the championship, so they can neglect the game in the English League Cup. I think the coaching staff will let the reservists and youth play, as big clubs often do.
Brighton will be over-motivated for this game. The Seagulls will lay down their lives to take vengeance for a very offensive and unjust defeat that MU inflicted on them the other day. That match eloquently testifies to the fact that Brighton is playing much better than the Red Devils now. Therefore, the coefficients on the hosts seem to me to be very high, and their victory with a +1 handicap looks like a very safe bet.
Prediction for the match: Brighton to win with +1.0 handicap
