Wolverhampton vs Brighton Predictions

• Both teams have scored in eight of Brighton’s last ten Premier League away games.
• Wolves are unbeaten in five Premier League home games.
• Matheus Cunha registers 0.69 expected goals at Old Trafford on Monday.

New-look Wolves impress under O’Neil

Wolves started the 2023/24 season with a defeat at Old Trafford but, despite taking no points from the game, new manager Gary O’Neil will take a lot of positives from their performance.

They created plenty of opportunities, threatening throughout against Manchester United, and can consider themselves unfortunate to leave without a point or more, especially after a late penalty shout was controversially turned down.

Forward Matheus Cunha was a particularly solid performer, constantly troubling the home defence with his directness and willingness to run with the ball. He generated 0.69 expected goals and looks a good value option to find the net on Saturday.

Seagulls away-day struggles

Brighton enjoyed a much more productive time in their opener as they thrashed Premier League newcomers Luton 4-1 at the Amex but they could find it difficult against this new-look Wolves outfit.

The Seagulls only won three of their final ten Premier League away games last season and conceded in eight of those matches, with both teams finding the net in each of those eight ties.

Goals set to grace Molineux

Wolves are a far cry from the side we saw last season, but even the defensively-minded Julen Lopetegui side managed to score in their last seven home games and only lost one of those, so backing both teams to score looks a good option at Molineux.

Brighton drew three of their last ten away games last season, including two 2-2 draws and given how forward-thinking Wolves looked last weekend I expect them to put up a good fight against the favourites, so a 2-2 correct score prediction appeals.
