Brighton v Wolves Prediction, Tips and Bet Builder

Last weekend's 3-1 loss at Newcastle United was a bit of a bolt from the blue considering Brighton's recent form, but they can continue their European push by beating Wolves in the Premier League this Saturday.

The visitors' relegation form the Premier League was confirmed a while ago, but they drew 1-1 with Sunderland in their last game, although that only extended their winless run to six.

They haven't won away from home this season and Albion are ready to take advantage of Rob Edwards' outfit's road woes.

Brighton v Wolves Tips Summary

Best Bet - Brighton and over 3.5 goals @ 13/8
Alternative Bet - Jack Hinshelwood to score @ 5/2
Bet Builder - Both Teams to Score, Joao Gomes 2+ fouls & Andre to be booked @ 17/2

Brighton v Wolves Prediction

Best Bet: Brighton and over 3.5 goals @ 13/8

Never ones to panic, the famously focused Brighton board reacted to the Newcastle loss by all but confirming a new contract for head coach Fabian Hurzeler.

Appointed in 2024, Hurzeler guided the club to eighth in his first season, the same position where they begin the weekend, but only two points behind sixth-placed Bournemouth, with Brentford sandwiched between. 

With Leeds United away and Manchester United at home on the final day, this is the Seagulls' most obviously winnable game and they should triumph in style.

Their last three home wins have included 2-1 victories against Nottingham Forest and Liverpool, and a 3-0 win against Chelsea, but they can improve against Wolves, who have lost 4-0 at West Ham United and 3-0 at Leeds in their last two away matches.

Wolves may have failed to score in their last two on the road, but the last two meetings between these sides at the Amex have been a 3-2 home win in the EFL Cup in September 2024 and a 2-2 league draw the following month.

Alternative Bet: Jack Hinshelwood to score @ 5/2

Jack Hinshelwood has scored in Brighton's last two games, the win over Chelsea and the defeat at Newcastle.

Injuries have hampered him but he is such a clever footballer that Hurzeler can't help but lean on him as a key creative influence.

Hinshelwood has played further forward this season and he can have more joy on Saturday, with another scoring contribution well priced.

Both teams have scored in the last two meetings in Falmer, while October's reverse game ended in a 1-1 draw at Molineux.

For all their positive play, the clean sheet against Chelsea aside, Brighton have not recorded a home shutout since 3rd January when they beat Burnley 2-0, making both teams to score a great first leg for this bet builder.

Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes has committed a joint-league-high 64 fouls and is backed for two or more again on Saturday after committing two infringements in October's 1-1 draw at Molineux.

Gomes, Andre and defender Yerson Mosquera have all received 10 yellow cards this season and Andre is the selection to get an 11th, having been booked in the reverse game.
