Charlton – Brighton : Preview & Prediction
Charlton Athletic and Brighton Hove Albion measure forces at The Valley in London, worth for the Round of 16 of the League Cup.
Charlton Athletic enter this clash unmotivated after a 1-2 away defeat to Bristol Rovers in the third tier of the English top flight. In the last League Cup knockout round, the home side eliminated Stevenage. The home team opts to play in a traditional 4-3-3, where the three most advanced players should be Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, Corey Blackett-Taylor and Jayden Stockley. Even playing at home, it is guessed that Charlton Athletic will adopt a more defensive stance, with the aim of trying not to concede the first goal of the match. Coach Anthony Hayes will not be able to count on Diallang Jaiyesimi and Joe Wollacott as they are in the care of team doctors.
Brighton come into this one after a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa in a preparation game. In the last League Cup knockout round, the visitors beat Arsenal 1-3. The visiting club has a habit of operating in a 4-3-3 tactical system, where the three men who will play a more attacking role are Julio Enciso, Solly March and Danny Welbeck. It is possible that we will observe the visiting team preferring the right side corridor to attack, taking advantage of the depth offered by full-back Pascal Gross. Although they are a team that likes to play in their midfield, they can also get out on the counter-attack very easily. Out of this game is Adam Webster due to physical problems.
