H2H - Seagulls Advantage

Brighton have a 21-9 advantage against Wolves, alongside 17 draws.

Brighton Win a Lot of Home Games

Brighton are one of the Premier League's most in-form teams, taking 10 points from five games. The Sussex outfit have won three of their previous four home games, with Danny Welbeck scoring four goals.

Fabian Hurzeler’s side were undefeated in five consecutive league matches, winning four. The Seagulls beat Liverpool 2-1 and Chelsea 3-0 at home during that run and had over 2 XG in each victory.

That unbeaten run ended with a 3-1 away loss at Newcastle on Saturday. Brighton had 1.53 XG, 13 shots and Jack Hinshlewood scored a second-half consolation goal.

Wolves Are Winless Away in the EPL

Rob Edwards’ Wolves have already been relegated from the Premier League after losing 23 of 35 games this season. The Old Gold are the only team without an away victory this season after drawing five and losing 12.

Wanderers have had heavy defeats in their last two on the road, losing 4-0 at West Ham and 3-0 at Leeds. The Midlands side allowed over 2.35 XG in each game and faced 35 total shots across the two matches.

Wolves earned a comeback 1-1 draw against 10-man Sunderland last time out. They trailed 1-0 after 17 minutes and Santiago Bueno levelled early in the second period.

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News

Brighton (4-2-3-1): Bart Verbruggen; Mats Wieffer, Jan Paul van Hecke, Olivier Boscagli, Ferdi Kadioglu; Pascal Gross, Carlos Baleba; Yankuba Minteh, Jack Hinshelwood, Karou Mitoma; Danny Welbeck

Defensive pair Mats Wieffer and Adam Webster are ruled out due to injury. Striker Stefanos Tzimas is unavailable with a long-term knee issue.

Midfielders James Milner and Solly March and attacker Diego Gomez could return for the Wolves game. Fabian Hurzeler was hopeful that Gomez would be in contention on Saturday and said, “He is back on the training pitch, and he will be available, I think, next week.”

Wolves (4-2-3-1): Daniel Bentley; Yerson Mosquera, Santiago Bueno, Toti; Pedro Lima, Andre, Joao Gomes, Hugo Bueno; Mateus Mane, Adam Armstrong; Tolu Arokodare

Goalkeepers Jose Sa and Sam Johnstone are injured and won’t feature. Winger Enso Gonzalez is also out due to a knee injury.

Verdict

Brighton v Wolverhampton

Brighton are a strong home side and can put goals past leaky Wolves. Danny Welbeck is the Seagulls’ top scorer and can find the net in a high-scoring home victory.
