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 are on an excellent winning run and have climbed up to 13th after 34 games. Brighton are ninth and may harbour slim European hopes.
Wolves to win (8/5 with Midnite)
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.
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
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.
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.
