Brighton vs Wolverhampton Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 9th May 2026

Brighton face Wolverhampton at The American Express Community Stadium in one of the last matches of the season, as only three rounds remain in this current Premier League campaign.

The Seagulls approach the next Premier League round as number 7 in the table, having claimed 50 points this season so far. With 35 games behind them, Wolverhampton amassed 18 points, placing them as number 20 before their next fixture.

From a rather disappointing position in the table, Wolves could really do with a win when going up against The Seagulls. They have had some tough results and need to get their season back on track pronto.

The Seagulls are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady 15 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.5 per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents nine goals, or an average of 0.9 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to four clean sheets in this run.

Wolverhampton are currently not the most scoring team in the Premier League, as they only found the back of the net nine times in ten matches. This is an average of just 0.9 goals a game in which they conceded 15 times, an average of 1.5 per game. They managed two clean sheets in these.

It finished all square on when Brighton last faced Wolverhampton. With both denying to back down, the scoreboard said 1-1 in the end. The best betting odds on a draw at full-time with the bookies are at 4/1.

Brighton vs Wolverhampton Prediction

Brighton Form

Brighton have seen it all in their last three matches, which added four points to their account. They first shared the points in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham, before claiming 3 points in a 3-0 win against Chelsea. Unfortunately for them, this was followed by a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Newcastle. Brighton claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Premier League. They also drew one and lost two, as they scored eight and conceded five goals.

Most people had Brighton down among favourites for relegation, but they have surpassed all expectations. With the season coming to an end, they look destined for another season in the Premier League.

Wolverhampton Form

In their previous three games, Wolverhampton lost 3-0 and 0-1 against Leeds and Tottenham, respectively, before drawing 1-1 with Sunderland. Wolverhampton didn't manage a single away win in their last six Premier League matches, but managed two draws, while suffering four defeats. They conceded 12 and scored two goals themselves.

Many people had Wolverhampton down as candidates for the drop before the season, but rescue is still within reach, as the season nears its end.

While we don't believe Wolverhampton are strong enough to prevent Brighton from a home win, we believe they are capable of limiting the defeat to only a few goals.

Brighton took 29 points from their last 18 encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Premier League table. This amounts to seven wins after scoring 24 times and conceding 17. Wolverhampton claimed two wins and ten points from their last 18 encounters with teams in the top half of the Premier League, while scoring 14 goals to 36 against. Brighton claimed 13 wins, 11 draws as well as 11 defeats in the Premier League this season. Wolverhampton are looking at three wins, nine draws and 23 defeats in the Premier League.

Brighton vs Wolverhampton Betting Tips

It has been a superb season for Danny Welbeck so far as he managed to score impressive 13 goals across all tournaments during the current campaign. He appears to be in great form currently, as he hit the target three times in his last six games, and The Seagulls rely on his abilities against Wolverhampton. Siding with him to find the back of the net this coming Saturday seems like a decent punt.

Wolverhampton claimed one wins, four draw and five defeats in their last 10 games away.
