Forest Green will face a big challenge on Wednesday evening when they take on Premier League outfit Brighton in the second round of the Carabao Cup.
The match comes at a tricky moment for Ian Burchnall and his troops who have just suffered an unpleasant 0-3 home loss to Plymouth Argyle at the weekend.
Forest Green have thus ruined the promising start to the 2022/23 League One campaign by claiming just one point from the previous three rounds.
They did eliminate Leyton Orient with a 2-0 victory at the start of the League Cup campaign but such success will count for little when Forest Green come face to face with Brighton.
The Seagulls are enjoying a fantastic form at the beginning of the new Premier League campaign.
They have seven out of nine possible points from the opening three rounds of the season despite playing the likes of Manchester United, Newcastle, and West Ham in the process.
Their latest win came on Sunday afternoon at London Stadium where Robert Sanchez kept his second consecutive clean sheet.
The fact Graham Potter’s men conceded just one goal in the opening three rounds of the new season against such strong rivals says enough about their current form and overall quality.
We should also say that Brighton eased past Championship sides Cardiff and Swansea, beating them 2-0 each, in the previous term of League Cup before getting eliminated on penalties by Leicester in the last 16 round.
