Forest Green Rovers vs Brighton & Hove Albion – Free Betting Tips & Predictions

Brighton are favourites to earn their passage to the next round of the Carabao Cup at Forest Green’s expense on Wednesday. Read our top predictions for this week’s fixture below.

Over 1.5 Brighton Team Goals

Brighton’s reputation seems to be growing by the game and Albion earned more plaudits on Sunday when they cruised to a fully-deserved 2-0 win at West Ham to prolong their unbeaten start to the campaign. The Seagulls notched twice in two of their first three assignments and they could enjoy another productive evening in the final third on Wednesday when they face a Forest Green side that shipped three goals at home to Plymouth at the weekend.

Both Teams to Score – No

Graham Potter’s Brighton have looked solid defensively in the early exchanges of the new campaign and the only goal they have conceded in 270 minutes of action so far was a self-inflicted Alexis Mac Allister effort against Man Utd. Forest Green meanwhile, looked a little toothless when they were beaten at 3-0 at home by Plymouth on Saturday and they could struggle to land a blow again when they meet a higher-calibre Albion side on Wednesday. With that in mind, we recommend backing both teams not to score.
