Leicester City hosts Brighton & Hove Albion in the EFL Cup 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 27th at King Power Stadium (Leicester)
Leicester City started their way in the current League Cup from the 1/16 finals. The Foxes beat Millwall away (0-2). Before the October break for the matches of the national teams, Leicester had an unsuccessful streak with only one victory in seven official games. However, the break had a beneficial effect on the results of the Foxes. They dealt with Manchester United at home (4-2) and won the shootout against Spartak Moscow in the away game of the Europa League (3-4). On October 24, the Foxes celebrated another away victory over Brentford (1-2). Youri Tielemans and James Maddison scored goals for the visitors.
Brighton & Hove Albion started their way in the tournament from the 2nd round. The Seagulls were stronger than Cardiff away (0-2), and then they coped with Swansea at home (2-0). Brighton still looks like the main surprise in the new season of the English Premier League. The team, which fought for survival in the previous season, is now ranked 5th in the standings and lags two points behind the Champions League zone. However, the latest results of the Seagulls leave much to be desired. In the last four rounds, Potter's men did not achieve a single victory. After three draws in a row, Brighton lost at home to Manchester City with a large score (1-4). The only goal for the Seagulls was scored by Alexis McAllister who converted a penalty.

Leicester is the nominal favorite of the upcoming match thanks to the factor of the home field. At the same time, Brighton, who beat the Foxes last month, has a chance to build on their success and achieve their first victory at the King Power Stadium since 2014. Rogers's team scores and concedes a lot in almost every game. The bet on an exchange of goals scored brought profit in five out of six previous official matches. The same number of games ended with Over 2.5 goals scored. The Foxes kept a clean sheet in only one of twelve games, so the visitors will have chances of scoring at least one goal. Leicester's unstable defense increases the likelihood of a successful outcome. We may also pay attention to the previous head-to-head matches. In the last three games, Leicester and Brighton have scored at least three goals for two. We think this trend will continue.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
