This Tuesday, February 28, at 8:15 p.m., here is the start of the round of 16 where we will witness a meeting between two clubs with a division gap, but the level gap can be leveled by the fact that it is Stoke City, 17th in the Championship, which receives Brighton, 8th in the Premier League, inside the Bet365 Stadium in Stoke on Trent. And the local team is therefore at the bottom of the table in the second division, and has a 9-point lead over the red zone. It will therefore not be necessary to achieve a bad series, under penalty of being taken back and experiencing a dangerous end to the season. It’s been 4 games in a row that Stoke has alternated between success and defeat and, this weekend, the team lost here once morest Millwall (0-1). In the FA Cup, in the previous round, Stoke beat Stevenage at home (3-1) and, in the 1/32 th finals, Stoke took out another lower division club (Hartlepool). The visitors, for their part, have not played any matches this weekend and lost for the first time in 2023 10 days ago once morest Londoners Fulham. In this competition, Brighton had eliminated Liverpool (2-1) in the previous round and this cup can be a real goal!
