Brighton will be aiming to continue their winning streak when they host Wolverhampton at the Amex Stadium on Saturday. The Seagulls have been in impressive form, securing back-to-back victories against strong opponents like Tottenham and Newcastle, which has boosted their confidence going into this Premier League clash. The return of key players such as Danny Welbeck and Solly March from injury further strengthens Brighton’s attacking options, making them favorites to grab all three points.

Wolves, on the other hand, have struggled at the start of the season and currently find themselves at the bottom of the table with just one point. Despite a valiant defensive effort against Manchester City in their last outing, they succumbed to a stoppage-time goal, continuing their winless run. With multiple players sidelined due to injuries, including Hee-Chan Hwang and Boubacar Traore, Wolves face an uphill battle to turn their season around. Given Brighton’s current form and home advantage, this match promises to be a crucial test for both sides.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction:
Brighton come into this match on a high after two consecutive wins against top-tier teams. With their recent form and the return of key players from injury, they have the momentum to secure another positive result at home. The Seagulls’ attacking prowess, highlighted by Kaoru Mitoma’s assists, suggests they will continue to create goal-scoring opportunities, especially in the first half where they have been most dangerous.
Wolverhampton, despite showing resilience in their recent matches, have struggled to find consistent form, especially away from home. Their defense has been a concern, as they tend to concede early, which might put them on the back foot against a confident Brighton side. Additionally, their discipline issues, particularly with Nélson Semedo, could lead to further vulnerabilities.
Considering Brighton’s strong home form and the contrasting struggles of Wolves, the prediction leans towards a home win for the Seagulls. However, with both teams having a high rate of Both Teams to Score (BTTS), expect an open match with goals on both ends.
