Brighton vs Wolverhampton - 15/12/2021
6378
We have a full round of fixtures to look forward to the English Premier League this week including the meeting between Brighton and Hove Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers on Wednesday night.
The match will take place at the American Express Community Stadium and the hosts begin the week in 11th place on 20 points while the visitors are in 9th place on 21 points.
Brighton come into the game having picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at Southampton last time out. They were due to play Tottenham Hotspur at home on the weekend but the match was postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the Spurs camp.
You must go back to the 19th of September to find the last time Brighton won a Premier League fixture and that came at home against Leicester City. However, despite struggling to win games in the Premier League, Brighton have been difficult to beat and they have lost only 2 of their last 12 league games.
Brighton have drawn 5 of their last 6 Premier League matches, picking up a point at home against Newcastle United and Leeds United plus away against Liverpool, West Ham United, and Southampton.
Trends show Brighton do not score many goals when playing at home in the Premier League and they have managed only 2 goals in their last 4 Premier League fixtures on home soil. However, both teams have scored in 3 of their last 5 home Premier League matches.
Wolves make the trip south to the American Express Community Stadium having lost 1-0 away against Manchester City on the weekend. Wolves will feel as though they could have taken a point from the match but lost courtesy of a penalty. That result means Wolves have failed to win any of their last 4 Premier League matches.
In addition to the loss at Manchester City on Saturday, Wolves have been defeated by Liverpool at home plus held by Burnley at home and Norwich City away.
Trends show Wolves have failed to score a goal in their last 4 Premier League games. There have been under 2.5 goals scored in each of their 6 most recent matches, including each of their last 4 away Premier League fixtures.
Looking ahead to the team news and Brighton will be without central defender Shane Duffy, who is suspended. Lewis Dunk is unavailable due to injury, leaving Brighton short in central defence. Adam Lallana, Jeremy Sarmiento, Adam Webster, Danny Welbeck, and Steven Alzate are all on the treatment table plus there are doubts over the fitness of Leandro Trossard.
Wolves will be without suspended striker Raul Jimenez, meaning Hwang Hee-Chan should play in attack. Yerson Mosquera, Pedro Neto, and Jonny are injured.
We do not expect to see a huge number of goals in this game despite the fact both teams could find the back of the net. Therefore, a draw and under 2.5 goals as a possible outcome means 1-1 is a good prediction as a correct score.
