The result dropped Brighton to eighth, but they remain firmly in the race for Europe, sitting just two points behind AFC Bournemouth with three games left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier in the season pressure was growing on Fabian Hurzeler after a poor run of form, but the 33 year old has turned things around at the Amex and recently signed a new long term deal. Brighton now face bottom side Wolverhampton Wanderers looking to continue their strong recent record in the fixture, having gone unbeaten in the last eight meetings while also beating Liverpool and Chelsea comfortably at home in recent weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SquawkaBet\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"114\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1415389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-300x33.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-768x86.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1536x171.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-400x45.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-600x67.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-538x60.jpg 538w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-150x17.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-40x4.jpg 40w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1.jpg 1792w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Wolves may already be relegated, but there is still pride to play for as they try to avoid finishing bottom of the table. Rob Edwards saw his side end a three-game losing run with a frustrating draw against Sunderland, although supporters were unhappy after Wolves failed to make the most of playing against 10 men for over an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wolves are still without an away win in their last 19 Premier League matches and now face a difficult trip to Brighton &amp; Hove Albion, even if their recent record on the South Coast is not too bad. Defeat this weekend would also see Wolves become just the second team in Premier League history to lose to every other side in the division across a single season.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"vcsw-sports-widgets shortcode vcsw-market-fixtures\" id=\"markets-1\"><script type=\"application\/json\">{\"sports_type\":\"football\",\"event\":{\"_id\":\"68589bbe566e672f1baa468c\",\"sports_type\":\"football\",\"competition_season\":{\"_id\":\"68366ed42febbf834daccd02\",\"sports_type\":\"football\",\"competition\":\"Premier League\",\"country\":\"England\",\"season\":\"2025\\\/2026\",\"start_date\":\"2025-08-15T00:00:00+00:00\",\"end_date\":\"2026-05-24T00:00:00+00:00\",\"tags\":[\"routine_fixture\"],\"stages\":[{\"stage_id\":\"698b2bf681ff06d75c1e8304\",\"stage_name\":\"Regular Season\",\"standings_available\":false},{\"stage_id\":\"698b2bf681ff06d75c1e8303\",\"stage_name\":\"Regular Season\",\"standings_available\":false},{\"stage_id\":\"698b2bf681ff06d75c1e8302\",\"stage_name\":\"Regular Season\",\"standings_available\":false},{\"stage_id\":\"698b2bf681ff06d75c1e8301\",\"stage_name\":\"Regular Season\",\"standings_available\":true},{\"stage_id\":\"698b2bf681ff06d75c1e8300\",\"stage_name\":\"Regular Season\",\"standings_available\":true},{\"stage_id\":\"698b2bf681ff06d75c1e82ff\",\"stage_name\":\"Regular Season\",\"standings_available\":true},{\"stage_id\":\"698b2bf681ff06d75c1e82fe\",\"stage_name\":\"Regular Season\",\"standings_available\":true},{\"stage_id\":\"698b2bf681ff06d75c1e82fd\",\"stage_name\":\"Regular Season\",\"standings_available\":true},{\"stage_id\":\"698b2ac481ff06d75c1e8253\",\"stage_name\":\"Regular Season\",\"standings_available\":true},{\"stage_id\":\"698b2bf681ff06d75c1e8305\",\"stage_name\":\"Regular Season\",\"standings_available\":false},{\"stage_id\":null,\"stage_name\":\"Regular Season\",\"standings_available\":true}]},\"datetime\":\"2026-05-09T14:00:00+00:00\",\"name\":\"Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers\",\"participants\":[{\"participant_id\":\"665db673e93e306d7f460ff5\",\"name\":\"Brighton & Hove Albion\",\"team_badge\":\"https:\\\/\\\/sc-prod.onetwenty.media\\\/storage\\\/team-logos\\\/brighton-&-hove-albion-lfc.png\",\"side\":\"home\",\"formation\":null,\"result\":{\"half_time\":2,\"full_time\":3,\"extra_time\":0,\"penalties\":0,\"total\":3}},{\"participant_id\":\"665db66fe93e306d7f460ab7\",\"name\":\"Wolverhampton Wanderers\",\"team_badge\":\"https:\\\/\\\/sc-prod.onetwenty.media\\\/storage\\\/team-logos\\\/wolverhampton-wanderers.png\",\"side\":\"away\",\"formation\":null,\"result\":{\"half_time\":0,\"full_time\":0,\"extra_time\":0,\"penalties\":0,\"total\":0}}],\"selections\":[],\"stage\":\"Regular Season\",\"stage_id\":\"698b2ac481ff06d75c1e8253\",\"group_name\":null,\"group_id\":null,\"status\":\"finished\",\"status_detailed\":\"played\",\"match_time\":{\"running_match_min\":98,\"clamped_match_min\":null,\"human_match_time\":\"FT\",\"period\":\"full_time\",\"period_id\":14,\"stoppage_minutes\":null,\"is_halftime\":false,\"is_extratime\":false,\"is_extratime_halftime\":false,\"is_penalties\":false,\"is_finished\":true},\"tags\":[\"routine_fixture\"],\"venue\":\"The American Express Community Stadium\"},\"data_markets\":[{\"_id\":\"Match Result\",\"name\":\"Match Result\"},{\"_id\":\"Anytime Goalscorer\",\"name\":\"Anytime Goalscorer\"},{\"_id\":\"Both Teams To Score\",\"name\":\"Both Teams To Score\"},{\"_id\":\"Correct Score\",\"name\":\"Correct Score\"},{\"_id\":\"Player Shots On Target\",\"name\":\"Player Shots On Target\"},{\"_id\":\"Player To Be Carded\",\"name\":\"Player To Be Carded\"},{\"_id\":\"Anytime Assist\",\"name\":\"Anytime Assist\"}],\"active_market\":\"\",\"show_title\":\"false\",\"limit_markets\":\"\",\"widget_type\":\"markets\"}<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-brighton-team-news\">Brighton team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Brighton could be without Mats Wieffer after another ankle setback, while Stefanos Tzimas, Adam Webster, Diego Gomez, James Milner and Solly March are also doubts or unavailable;
