Wolves vs Brighton Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 19th August 2023

The new Premier League campaign continues on Saturday in a round two match between Wolves and last season’s top six finishers Brighton at Molineux Stadium.

Brighton got what they hoped for in their first match of the season, as they claimed all three points in the opener.

Wolves came away from their opening match of the season on a sour note and hope to make amends in the upcoming match.

Wolves are not a high scoring team these days, as they only found the back of the net eight times in the last ten outings. That is an average of just 0.8 goals per game, as they conceded 17 goals. They managed four clean sheets in these matches.

Brighton enter their next Premier League match, averaging a highly satisfactory 2.2 goals per game in their last ten matches, in which they scored a presentable total of 22 goals, while also conceding 17 times. That is a total average of 1.7 per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring three times.

Brighton won 6-0 and 3-2 in the two most recent meetings with Wolves, and go into their upcoming match with a psychological advantage.

Wolves vs Brighton Prediction

Wolves Form

In their previous three outings, Wolves drew 1-1 with Everton, before losing 5-0 against Arsenal and 1-0 against Manchester United. Wolves won four of their last six Premier League matches on home soil, while drawing once and losing once. They conceded five and scored nine goals.

Wolves naturally hope for a top half position come reckoning day next spring, but experts foresee a tough battle ahead in the lower regions of the Premier League.

Brighton Form

Brighton claimed four points in their last three matches, starting by a 1-1 draw with Manchester City. A 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa was next up, before beating Luton by 4-1. Brighton, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn zero and lost four in their last six away in the Premier League.

Brighton hope to be contesting for a place in an international tournament in a season, where a top half finish looks like the minimum outcome.

We trust neither defence to be able to keep their opponent at bay, when Wolves welcome Brighton this coming Saturday. Goals should be flowing at both ends of the pitch.
