Brighton v Wolves Betting Tips [29 April 2023]

Brighton will be back at home after five straight way matches when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers in their next Premier League game. With three games in hand, Brighton are just five points behind the Europa League slot while Wolves go into this game eight points above the relegation region. Both sides have all to fight for in this game and Brighton will want to make their games in hand count, as they search for a slot in Europe. Things haven't gone to plan in recent times, and Brighton are coming from three losses in the last four matches, one of them on post-match penalties – in the FA Cup. In their most recent game, they suffered a 3-1 loss to Nottingham Forest, the second time in four matches that they let in more than a goal. Brighton are a different shade at home though, with four wins in their last six home games, and only one loss. Five times in the last nine home league matches, Brighton have scored two or more goals and they have failed to score completely in one of the nine matches.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have conceded three times in each of their last two meetings with Brighton and they will want to do better this time. Ahead of this game, they posted a 2-0 home win over Crystal Palace. That win was a mark of the improvement Wolves have shown in recent times – their third win in four matches. The only time they didn’t win was in the away loss to Leicester City, a game that ended 2-1 after the Foxes dug their way out from an early concession. Wolves will be more worried about their away form, coming into this game without a win in five games on the road. Wolves have managed just one win in their last 10 away matches.

Wolves are coming here on a very poor run away from home and they meet a Brighton side that has been great at home. Brighton have also claimed the head-to-head advantage in the last two meetings between these two sides. Based on home and away forms of these two sides, our prediction for Brighton v Wolverhampton Wanderers is a home win.
