Charlton take on the visitors Brighton in the 1/8-finals of EFL Cup. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 21st at The Valley (London).
Brighton made it to the round of 1/8 finals, which will go to Charlton on Wednesday - will the visitors from the shores of the Atlantic had problems this fall, which they might overcome during the pause. Charlton doesn't look good at all. The "Haddock" at the beginning of the century played at a good level in the Premier League. That team of Alan Curbishley even swung at European competitions. But gradually their level had dropped. First, a relegation to the Championship followed, and in transit - even lower. At one time, "Athletic" scurried between the 2nd and 3rd divisions of Albion. And now, it seems, they will be happy if he simply keeps his "registration" in League One, where they are in the fight for survival. At the same time, in the cup format, the team looks good. In the League Cup, the underdog has already knocked out 3 opponents, and the first was a rather strong QPR.

Brighton are holding up well despite being ripped off by the giants. The Seagulls in the summer made very good money on the sale of several players. It seemed that Graham Potter coped with this task perfectly - the team started great with him. But in the fall, Chelsea had already returned for a coach. He was replaced by De Zerbi, who had never worked in England before. The ex-coach of Sassuolo and Shakhtar started in a new place with 3-3 on the Liverpool field, however, after that he continued with only 1 point in 4 rounds. Then, however, there were victories over Chelsea and Wolverhampton in the Premier League and even knocked out Arsenal in the League Cup. But before the pause, they lost to Aston Villa - wards of Unai Emery won 2-1. But now the Italian finally has the opportunity to work quietly, and for a month in a row, without official matches.
Brighton have 4 wins and a draw in their last 5 head-to-head matches. But after 2016 there were no official meetings. Charlton are on the relegation in the 3rd League, while Brighton claims the European Cups. We do not invent anything and bet on visitors in the 1st half and the match.
Prediction for the match: Brighton to win the first half and the match.
