Brighton vs Wolverhampton Preview
Brighton
The Seagullsrose to fifth in the league standings last weekend after claiming a second successive win against Newcastle.
The hosts will be considered the favourites against Wolverhampton this weekend, even without last weekend’s match-winner Danny Welbeck. Brighton have once again been one of the most exciting teams in the Premier League this term, although their xG in recent matches hasn’t exceeded 1.97.
However, defensively, they were incredibly solid at Newcastle last weekend, reducing their rivals to an xG of just 1.94. That bodes well against a Wolverhampton side that have struggled to create chances throughout this season.
Wolverhampton
It is becoming increasingly more worrying for Wolverhampton week after week in the Premier League. Gary O’Neil’s side were cruelly denied a point against Man City in the dying seconds on Sunday, meaning that they remain at the foot of the standings.
Their biggest issues this season have come in the final third of the field. They have produced an xG of just 6.72 from open play in their eight matches, and they are conceding too many high-quality chances.
That is a concerning factor, as the Seagulls are incredibly dynamic in the final third of the field.

- Pick: Brighton to win
- Odds: 1.59 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Brighton 2-1 Wolverhampton
The stats don’t make for good reading for the visitors, and the head to head record is hard to ignore when making a Brighton vs Wolverhampton prediction. The Seagulls have avoided defeat in their last four league matches against Wolverhampton, scoring 16 goals across this period.
They were dominant 6-0 winners in this exact fixture in the 2022-23 season, before a 0-0 draw was played out last term. Welbeck’s absence will restrict Brighton in the final third, but they should still have far too much for their struggling visitors.
Brighton vs Wolverhampton Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Evan Ferguson to Score
- Odds: 2.6 (22Bet)
Evan Ferguson’s progression has stalled due to injury concerns, but he could be set to bounce back to form in the absence of Welbeck this weekend.
The Irishman came off the bench in the win over Newcastle, and a run of games could be required to get back up to speed. Up against one of the leakiest defences in the league, Ferguson could open the scoring at the Amex on Saturday.
