Brighton vs Wolves Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
The Seagulls will aim to put more misery on the Wanderers.
After defeating Newcastle United in the previous game, Fabian Hurzeler’s Brighton welcome bottom-place Wolverhampton Wanderers in round nine of the Premier League 2024-25 action at the Falmer Stadium on Saturday aiming to continue their winning streak.
The Seagulls have made an encouraging start to the season under Fabian Hurzeler who despite being the youngest manager in the Premier League have guided the team to fifth position after eight games. He has implemented his ideas to the team very well as they look a proper team under him. Apart from the loss against Chelsea, Brighton have won or drawn all of their games this season.
Wolverhampton Wanderers on the other hand are going through a difficult period after failing to win any of their eight games. They have only gathered one point from the opening eight games which came against Nottingham Forest on matchday third. Time is running out for Gary O’Neil to change the fortune of the team. Nevertheless, after giving a tough fight to Manchester City in the previous game, he is confident that results will come in a matter of time.

Sunday, 26 October 2024 at 3:00 PM UK; 7:30 PM IST
Location: Falmer Stadium
Form:
Brighton & Hove Albion (in all competitions): W-D-L-W-W

Players to Watch
Georginio Rutter (Brighton & Hove Albion)
Brighton have made an excellent addition to the team in the form of Georginio Rutter who has made an excellent start to his career here scoring two goals from the opening seven games and adding another assist. It is not just the goals he has brought into the team, as he is excellent in linkup play and driving the team forward with his ball-carrying ability. With Danny Welbeck sidelined, he will be aiming to add a few goals here.
Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
Matheus Cunha has been one of the best players for the Wolves despite the team going through an underwhelming season. Cunha has three goals to his name this season and will be hoping to add another few in this game. His link-up play has been brilliant to watch, often occupying the spaces to create chances for his teammates. He even should have had a couple of assists after creating eleven chances this season.
