Wolves vs Brighton predictions, odds, betting tips and team news | OneFootball

Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brighton and Hove Albion will both be hoping to climb the Premier League table when they meet at Molineux on Saturday 10th May at 3pm.

Victor Pereira’s side were on an excellent winning run and have climbed up to 13th after 35 games. Brighton are ninth and may harbour slim European hopes.

Wolves have won their past three home league games and are unbeaten in their past four at Molineux. Brighton are winless in their past three away matches, losing two. Wolves turnaround has been remarkable, as they looked to be staring relegation in the face at one point this season. They’ve gone on a winning run to pull themselves well clear though, and could be great value to pick up another victory here priced at 8/5.

Over 1.5 Wolves goals (6/5 with Betfair)

Brighton have conceded at least two goals in each of their past three Premier League away games. It’s been a strange season for Brighton, who have rarely looked like finishing anywhere other than midtable. They’ve conceded 56 goals, scoring 57, and haven’t kept a clean sheet since February 22nd when they beat bottom club, Southampton.

How both teams go into Wolves vs Brighton

There was a period of time when Wolves looked like they’d have a long battle against relegation. But they’re now pushing up the table, closer to the top half than they are the bottom three. Now it’s about ending the season as well as they can. Since Pereira took charge, Wolves have won 10 of their 18 league games, averaging 1.78 points per match. That includes a run of six wins in a row, the first time they’ve done that in the top flight since 1970.

Their recent form had been exemplary but a 1-0 loss to Man City last weekend saw their excellent run come to an end. They had won their previous six games, including impressive wins over both Man Utd and Tottenham, and looked as though they could finish as high as 12th. That looks a little further off for the side now but they should certainly be commended for turning around what looked to be a dire situation at one point.

Brighton recently endured a tough run, which has seen them drop off in the race for European football. The Seagulls went five games without victory, losing three, dropping them from seventh to 10th. They did win their most recent match, but Brighton remain six points behind seventh. While it isn’t over by any stretch of the information, time is running out for Brighton.

They’ve still maintained that inconsistent nature in their past five games, winning just once, drawing twice and losing twice. Their solitary win was over West Ham but only followed disappointing losses against Brentford and bitter rivals, Crystal Palace. European football looks a step too far for the side now and they’d have to turn their form around as well as seeing other circumstances go their way.
