Brighton Stats & Team News
- Overall Record: 13-11-11
- Home Record: 8-6-3
- Road Record: 5-5-8
Brighton remain in a prominent position to challenge for a European place in the Premier League. However, they will need to bounce back to form following a 3-1 loss at Newcastle last Saturday.
The Seagulls have an excellent record against teams starting the day in the drop zone, avoiding defeat in 15 of the last 16. But, it could be alarming that ten of those matches have ended in draws.
It would be a positive that Brighton have avoided back-to-back defeats since February, and their confidence should still be high after winning four of their previous six.
Likely Line-Up:
(4-2-3-1): Vebruggen (GK); Wieffer, van Hecke, Boscagli, Kadioglu; Baleba, Gross; Minteh, Rutter, Mitoma; Welbeck
Wolves Stats & Team News
- Overall Record: 3-9-23
- Home Record: 3-4-11
- Road Record: 0-5-12
Wolverhampton’s relegation to the Championship has already been confirmed, and they have looked a beaten team in recent months.
However, character was shown in last week’s fixture, as Wolves battled back to rescue a point against Sunderland. They will be looking to make unwanted history this weekend, as they could become just the second team in Premier League history to suffer at least one defeat against all 19 other teams in a single campaign.
Their away record would be a huge red flag, as Wolves have gone 19 without a win on the road, and have suffered 14 defeats over that period.
Likely Line-Up:
(3-4-2-1): Bentley (GK); Mosquera, S. Bueno, T. Gomes; Lima, Andre, J. Gomes, H. Bueno; Mane, Armstrong; Arokodare
Head-to-Head Trends
- Brighton are unbeaten in their last eight league matches against Wolves since a 1-0 loss in December 2021.
- Wolves have lost just one of their previous six trips to the Amex Stadium. Four of the clashes over that period have ended in draws.
Brighton vs. Wolves Prop Picks
Danny Welbeck has performed to a high standard throughout the campaign, registering 13 goals. Only Cristiano Ronaldo and Jamie Vardy have scored more goals in an EPL season aged 34+. Welbeck could be good value to add to his goal tally on Saturday.
Brighton vs. Wolves Picks
Wolves have been one of the worst teams in recent Premier League history. Brighton have been reliable in home matches this season, and they will require a victory to reignite their hopes of a European finish. A home win is impossible to overlook.
