Brighton vs Wolfsburg Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips and odds | Pre-season friendly 2025

They are going to face each other for the first time.

Brighton & Hove Albion are all set to host VfL Wolfsburg in a pre-season club friendly game. These clubs are going to come up with an intense fixture, which will take place at the American Express Stadium.

The Seagulls will be at home and will be keen on using it to their advantage. They are coming in after securing a 2-2 draw against Southampton in their previous pre-season game. Brighton could’ve done better to win the game, but their defence was not good enough.

VfL Wolfsburg have already been a part of four pre-season games. They started their preparations for the new season on a positive note, but it did not last long as they fell prey to Feyenoord in their last match. They will now be looking to come back to winning ways.

Players to Watch

Yankuba Minteh (Brighton)

The 21-year-old from Gambia scored a brace for the Seagulls in their previous pre-season game. Yankuba Minteh is going to play an important role for the hosts in the final third. He leads the attack from the right but is likely to play in the front yet again, causing trouble to the opponent’s defence.

Minteh can also play as a midfielder.

Jonas Wind (Wolfsburg)

Jonas Wind will be looking to help his side when they take on the English Premier League opponents. He will be keen on scoring a goal or two, so that his team can put pressure on the hosts. The 26-year-old plays in the attacking front and can also be of major use in the midfield.
