There are plenty of games to look forward to over the new year period in the English Premier League, one of which is between Brighton and Hove Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers.The match will take place on Saturday the 2nd of January at the AMEX Stadium.
The hosts begin the game just above the relegation zone on 13 points while the visitors are in mid-table on 21 points.
Brighton come into the match having suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at home against Arsenal on Tuesday night. Neither team played particularly well but it was Arsenal who made the breakthrough in the second half to take maximum points.
That result means Brighton have failed to win any of their last 7 Premier League matches and you must go back to the 2-1 win at Aston Villa on the 21st of November to find the last time they won a game.
Trends show Brighton have been struggling to win matches for some time and they have recorded just a single victory in their last 15 games in all competitions. Their home form has been poor and Brighton have picked up just one win from their 10 home games in all competitions this season and it came in the League Cup.
Brighton have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 4 home Premier League matches. They have failed to score more than a single goal in each of their last 6 home league games and both teams have scored in 3 of their last 4 on home soil.
Wolverhampton Wanderers make the trip to the south coast having lost 1-0 away to Manchester United on Tuesday night. Wolves will feel their strong defending deserved a point from the game but they conceded a goal in injury time, via a deflection.
That result means Wolves have failed to win any of their last 3 matches and have picked up just a single victory from their 6 most recent Premier League games.
Wolves have lost each of their last 3 away league matches, with defeats coming at Liverpool and Burnley in addition to the loss at Old Trafford.
In fact, Wolves have lost 4 of their last 5 away Premier League games, picking up just a single victory at Arsenal.
Trends show Wolves have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 5 away matches.
Team news and Brighton are without Adam Lallana, Tariq Lamptey, Jose Izquierdo, and Florin Andone due to injury. Both Neal Maupay and Danny Welbeck could come back into the starting XI having been on the bench against Arsenal.
Wolves travel without Raul Jimenez and Jonny who are injured. They also have doubts over the fitness of Leander Dendoncker.
This has the makings of being a low scoring game but we may also see both teams find the back of the net. That suggests we could be in for a low scoring draw, with 1-1 a possible correct score.
