Brighton could not make the breakthrough we needed in the original match of this tie, but we will back them again to get the job done at the second time of asking.
The Seagulls were our bet to win on home soil but although they dominated the game, they could not find a way past West Brom goalkeeper Jonathan Bond as the contest ended goalless.
But our reasoning for the initial tip still stands – that Brighton may be slightly better suited by a lengthy FA Cup run than Albion, who have a more obvious target in their league campaign as they are striving to go straight back up from the Championship after being relegated.
Chris Hughton’s side, meanwhile, need to be careful not to get dragged into the Premier League dogfight at the bottom of the table and to that end, they face a big game at home to Burnley on Saturday. Victory here would give them a big confidence boost for that test.
An unusual, but perfectly valid, fact about Brighton is that in 2019 so far they have been much more free-scoring on their travels than at home, and that could help them to edge past a Baggies side whose own form since Christmas has taken something of a downturn.
