Wolverhampton Wanderers

WWWWWL

Wolves won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 1-0 Premier League loss in their previous game against Manchester City.

In that match, Wolverhampton Wanderers managed 36% possession and 6 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target. At the other end, Manchester City got 9 attempts at goal with 2 on target. Kevin De Bruyne (35') scored for Manchester City.

Their latest results show that much respect should be given to the Wolverhampton Wanderers rearguard. Wolverhampton Wanderers have kept it tight, seeing the tally of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their last 6 outings standing at 4. That trend might not be continued into this next game, though.

ℹ️ Team News: Wolves

Sam Johnstone (unknown injury), Sasa Kalajdzic (Cruciate ligament tear), Enso González (Cruciate ligament tear) and Yerson Mosquera (Cruciate ligament tear) will not be able to play for Wolves manager Vítor Pereira.

We are thinking that Wolves will probably use a 3-4-2-1 system featuring Jose Sa, Matt Doherty, Emmanuel Agbadou, Toti Gomes, Nelson Semedo, Joao Gomes, Andre, Rayan Ait Nouri, Marshall Munetsi, Matheus Cunha and J. Strand Larsen.

📰 Team News: Brighton

Brighton manager Fabian Hürzeler has not got a full squad to pick from. Ferdi Kadıoğlu (Toe joint capsular tear), Georginio Rutter (Foot injury), James Milner (Thigh problems) and Solly March (Knee surgery) are not able to play.

We believe The Seagulls might begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting the game with Bart Verbruggen, Joel Veltman, Jan Paul van Hecke, Lewis Dunk, Pervis Estupinan, Carlos Baleba, Jack Hinshelwood, Yankuba Minteh, Matthew O'Riley, Simon Adingra and Danny Welbeck.

⚡ Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Brighton & Hove Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers could both well score more than once here although it’s hard to see a clear-cut winner.

A close call, and we think a draw is quite likely - as are goals. That’s why we have predicted a great battle with a 2-2 score draw when the referee blows the final whistle.
