Brighton vs Wolves Prediction & Betting Tips (18 September)

Brighton, 6th in the league, made a thunderous debut in the Premier League this year. Among the main outsiders behind the English Big Four, Brighton began their season by dominating the Everton Toffees with a score of 3 goals to 0 D1, before beating Manchester United 2 goals to 1 D2 at home after a crazy scenario. Still in this continuity, brimming with energy, Brighton brought back the draw point from their trip to the Arsenal Gunners 1-1 during J3 and unable to beat the promoted Ipswich Town last weekend 0-0 in the framework of the J4. Opposite, Wolverhampton played its 7th consecutive season in the Premier League this year during which it played a group stage in C3 during the 2019-2020 season.

Unlike Brighton, however, Wolverhampton started their 2024-25 year very poorly to the point of finding themselves in a virtual relegation situation 18th/20 in the standings, 1 point. After two defeats at Arsenal 2-0, and a second in front of Chelsea 2-6, the Wolves bit into their first point after a Forrest 1-1 draw. For the reception during J4 of an impeccable Newcastle team, there was not the slightest surprise for the locals 2-1. 

The Brighton coach must deal with the withdrawals of rookie O'Riley, as well as long-term absent winger March. In addition, the stainless James Milner joined the infirmary, while Gruda and Wieffer remain uncertain after their absences against Ipswich. Brighton has injected nearly 200 million euros into its recruitment (Kadioglu, Gruda, Wieffer, Minteh and Rutter). Loaned to VfB Stuttgart last season, Undav signed there for nearly 27 million euros. Welbeck and Pedro both scored two goals each in the league.

 Replacement strikers Kalajdzic and Gonzalez remain in the infirmary, while midfielder Boubacar Traoré is still doubtful. The precious Ait-Nouri and Lemina are too. Unlike Brighton, Wolves lost a lot of weight in the off-season with two potential starters, Pedro Neto (Chelsea, 60 million euros) and Max Kilman (47 million euros, West Ham). New figurehead of the local offensives, Larsen has already found the fault once in the opposing defenses.
