Barnsley vs Brighton Bet Builder Tips: Back Tzimas To Score In 5/1 Carabao Cup Treble

Brighton travel to South Yorkshire to take on Barnsley in the Carabao Cup third round on Tuesday, and our betting tips for the tie can be backed in a 5/1 bet builder.

League One promotion chasers Barnsley welcome Premier League side Brighton to Oakwell in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night, with the action due to get underway at 19:45.

The Reds have beaten Fleetwood and Rotherham on their way to the third round, overcoming the former thanks to a penalty shootout triumph and defeating the latter 2-1.

Conor Hourihane’s side currently occupy sixth place in the third tier table, just four points behind leaders Bradford, and they suffered a narrow 1-0 loss away at Blackpool on Saturday.

Fabian Hurzeler’s Seagulls, meanwhile, drew 2-2 at home against Tottenham at the weekend.

After five league matches thus far this term, the south coast club boast a record of one win, two draws and two defeats. It’s a return that sees them sit in 14th place on five points.

In the last round, they breezed to a 6-0 win over Championship side Oxford United on the road.

Brighton head into their third round encounter as overwhelming favourites with football betting sites, priced at around 2/7 to win, while Barnsley are rated at 15/2 to seal a shock victory.

Barnsley vs Brighton Bet Builder Tips

• Brighton to Win Both Halves @ 13/8
• Stefanos Tzimas to Score at Any Time @ 6/5
• Brajan Gruda – Over 0.5 Shots on Target @ 1/2

Brighton to Win Both Halves @ 13/8

Our first tip is to back the visitors to win both halves of Tuesday night’s fixture.

Facing off against a League One side, even if Hurzeler opts to make numerous rotations, Brighton should have more than enough quality to prevail in comfortable fashion here.

They hammered Oxford, who are a league above Barnsley, in the previous round. The south coast club led 2-0 at the break before adding a further four goals in the second half to win 6-0.

At 13/8, backing them to win each half looks like a strong value play against a third tier side who will likely struggle to cope with their Premier League intensity.

Victory in such a comfortable fashion will likely ease some of the pressure on Hurzeler, with Sebastien Pocognoli leading the way as the favourite in the next Brighton manager odds market.

Stefanos Tzimas to Score at Any Time @ 6/5

Next up, we’ve got Brighton’s teenage sensation Stefanos Tzimas to score at any time.

He registered two goals and an assist in the last round despite only featuring for 24 minutes.

Since then, he has made just one substitute appearance in the Premier League, and was an unused substitute in the draw against Tottenham on Saturday afternoon.

With rotations likely, the Greek youngster could be in line to make his first start for the club.

If that is the case, at 6/5, he looks a standout candidate to get on the scoresheet in this one.

Brajan Gruda – Over 0.5 Shots on Target @ 1/2

Finally, we’re backing Brajan Gruda to register at least one shot on target.

Like Tzimas, the Germany U21 international starred in the last round. He provided the assist for Olivier Boscagli’s opener before scoring his side’s second to send them on their way to victory.

In total, he registered two shots on target in the comfortable third round win.

He followed that up by netting the winner in Brighton’s 2-1 triumph over Manchester City, in which he also hit the target on two occasions despite only featuring for less than 30 minutes.

At 1/2, the 21-year-old midfielder is a prime candidate to test Barnsley’s stopper at least once.
