Brighton

Wolverhampton to Win and Over 2.5 Match Goals

Reason for tip

Wolves are one of the form sides in the Premier League and a six-match winning streak lifted them clear of relegation danger and looking at a mid-table finish. Vitor Pereira’s side were beaten by Manchester City 1-0 last time out, but they can quickly get back on track against a Brighton side who have won only one of their last eight matches in all competitions.

Wolverhampton 3-2

Reason for tip

Meetings between these two are often lively and this latest clash could have a real end-of-season feel to it with Wolves having little left to play and Brighton still chasing a European qualification place. Five of the last seven meetings have featured at least four goals and this encounter could be a high-scoring affair.

Jorgen Larsen To Score Anytime

Reason for tip

Norwegian striker Jorgen Strand Larsen made a slow start to life at Wolves following his loan from Celta Vigo, but the 25-year-old is finishing the season with a flourish and his goals have helped lift Wolves to a position of safety. A burst of six goals in his last six matches have taken Larsen’s tally to 13 for the season and the beanpole striker could extend that run against Brighton.

Wolves to hound out the Seagulls

Fast-finishing Wolves could still claim a top-half finish in the Premier League and it is a remarkable revival for a side who were in serious relegation danger when Vitor Pereira replaced Gary O’Neil in the Molineux dugout in December.

Wanderers were 19th when the Portuguese head coach took over with the Old Gold having taken just nine points from their opening 16 matches in the English top-flight.

The turnaround has been emphatic and we predict another victory for Wolves who been bettered by only outgoing champions Manchester City in their last eight outings.

Everton, Manchester United, Tottenham and West Ham all start this round of matches below the West Midlands outfit and with the pressure off, Wolves are fancied to pick up another three points at home to beleaguered Brighton.

The Seagulls have slipped to 10th and their faint hopes of a European spot for next season look to be over.

One win from their last seven league matches is a disappointing return for a side who featured prominently in the standings until only recently, but their intensive style of play has seen them run out of steam at just the wrong time.

Larsen to continue hot streak in high-scoring home win

Our prediction is for a home win in this contest, and the goals could flow as Wolves put on a show.

Recent meetings between the sides have been high-scoring affairs and Wanderers could cut loose in their penultimate home match with the pressure off.

But Brighton could play their part, too, as their hopes of a European spot are not completely over and they have scored at least two goals in three of their last four matches.

A 3-2 scoreline is a the prediction for correct-score purposes and Jorgen Strand Larsen is predicted to hit the back of the net once more.

The Norwegian started off slowly at Molineux but his goals in the closing weeks have been invaluable, with six goals in his last six outings, helping his side move up the table.

Larsen is on 13 for the season, and he will be keen to increase that total as he looks to make his loan move from La Liga side Celta Vigo permanent.
