The Seagulls enter the Capital One Cup on Tuesday night as strong favourites to secure their first victory of the fledgling season against Cheltenham Town.Sky Bet- the official bookmaking partner of the Albion - price up Sami Hyypia's men at a very short 2/5 odds-on to complete the job inside 90 minutes.
The visitors are 11/2 and it is 3/1 that the game goes into extra-time.
This is a tad too short for an outright punt, but there is some value available elsewhere, especially if you adopt contrary positions to spread the risk.*
Firstly lets go for a confidence boosting comfortable victory. Albion to win 4-1 is 22/1.
Next up we'll cover the slow start/strong finish. In the half-time/full-time category, Cheltenham/Brighton is 25/1.

- CLUB STATEMENT
Craig Mackail Smith may be given a run-out from the kick-off on Tuesday. The Scot is 4/1 to net the first goal and this is worth taking.Like Saturday, if he comes onto the field after the first goal is scored, then stakes will be refunded.
Away from the Amex, there is decent value elsewhere in the first-round ties.
* Carlisle can snatch a 90-minute draw at home to Derby (3/1)
* MK Dons can maintain their 100% record over their former entity by defeating AFC Wimbledon (3/4)
* Russell Slade's Leyton Orient can win on the road at Plymouth (6/4)
Good luck and happy punting!
