Brighton travel to Championship side Oxford United in round two of the Carabao Cup, and you can back our betting tips with this 14/1 bet builder.
Wednesday’s EFL Cup action sees a potential banana skin for Premier League Brighton.
The Seagulls have made a poor start to the campaign with a 1-1 draw against Fulham, followed by a 2-0 defeat against Everton.
But things have been even worse for their opponents so far.
Oxford have lost all three Championship games to date, with their only victory this season coming in the Carabao Cup first round against Colchester United.
As for Wednesday’s game, it’s unsurprisingly Brighton who are 2/5 favourites with football betting sites, while Oxford United are 6/1 underdogs.

Oxford United Vs Brighton Bet Builder Tips
- Kaoru Mitoma to score any time @ 3/2
- Brighton – Full Time Result @ 2/5
- Oxford United Over 3.0 cards @ 4/1
Kaoru Mitoma to score any time @ 3/2
First up, our anytime scorer pick for this one is Kaoru Mitoma.
The Japanese international has 24 goals for Brighton to date, including a Premier League best of 10 last season.
He is one of the Seagulls’ best attacking weapons, and has a great chance of scoring against lower-league opposition.
Brighton – Full Time Result @ 2/5
Next, it’s an easy one but we think Brighton are absolutely destined to win against Oxford.
The gulf in quality between the two is clear, and Oxford are a side devoid of confidence at the moment.
We therefore think it’s a no-brainer to back Brighton as part of our bet-builder.
Oxford United Over 3.0 cards @ 4/1
And finally, we are backing Oxford to pick up a good number of cards on Wednesday night.
Struggling for form, against better opposition who will put them under pressure, Oxford are likely to give away a lot of fouls.
Due to the lack of comparative quality, their best chance may be to try and impose themselves physically on Brighton, which could also land more players in the referee’s book.
