3888
We have a full round of Premier League fixtures this weekend including the meeting between Brighton and Hove Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The match will be played at the American Express Community Stadium and the hosts are currently 8th in the league on 49 points while the visitors are 13th on 37 points.
Brighton come into the game following a disappointing week that saw them lose in the FA Cup semi-final and at Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.
The Seagulls opened the scoring at Nottingham Forest but conceded an equaliser on the stoke of half time. It was Nottingham Forest who took the lead in the second half and they cemented the win with a late penalty.
The defeat at Nottingham Forest means Brighton have lost 3 of their last 4 matches in all competitions. Brighton lost 2-1 at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League and suffered a penalty shootout defeat at the hands of Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-final following a 0-0 draw.
Form in the Premier League shows Brighton have won 2 of their last 5 matches. They are undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home Premier League fixtures and have recorded wins over Liverpool, Bournemouth, West Ham United, and Crystal Palace.
Brighton have managed to keep a clean sheet in 4 of their last 6 home Premier League games.
Wolves make the trip to the American Express Community Stadium having beat Crystal Palace 2-0 at home in the Premier League on Tuesday night. It took only 3 minutes for Wolves to open the scoring and they added a second goal at the end of the match to take maximum points.
The win over Crystal Palace means Wolves are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 fixtures, all of which have been played in the Premier League. There have been wins over Chelsea, Brentford, and Crystal Palace at home plus a 1-1 draw at Nottingham Forest. Wolves’ only defeat in their last 5 games came at Leicester City.
Away form in the Premier League has been poor and Wolves have failed to win any of their 5 most recent away trips. They have recorded only 1 win from their last 8 away league games and Wolves have scored only 3 goals in their last 5 away Premier League matches.
Team news and Brighton are without the injured trio of Evan Ferguson, Jeremy Sarmiento, and Adam Lallana. They also have doubts over the fitness of Tariq Lamptey and Jakub Moder.
Wolves continue without forward Chiquinho, who has a long term knee injury. Boubacar Traoré is a doubt due to a muscle problem.
Brighton have been good in recent home games whereas Wolves have been struggling to win on the road. The Seagulls should prove too much for Wolves in this match and we expect the home to team to take maximum points, with both teams scoring.
