Match Preview
Oxford United host Brighton & Hove Albion in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night at The Kassam Stadium, with both teams looking to make their mark in this knockout competition. Oxford's recent form has been inconsistent, managing just one win in their last five matches (LWLDD), while Brighton have found a rhythm, going unbeaten in their last five (DWDWW). The difference in form could be pivotal, especially as Brighton come into this fixture with confidence from their Premier League performances. Historically, the head-to-head record favours Brighton, who have won two of the last ten encounters, while Oxford have yet to secure a victory against them. With Oxford struggling to find the back of the net consistently, the odds suggest a low-scoring affair, but Brighton's attacking prowess could see them break through. The odds for both teams to score (BTTS Yes at 1.8) and over 2.5 goals (1.7) indicate expectations of a competitive match, but Brighton's superior form may ultimately shine through, making them strong favourites for this clash.
