Wolverhampton Wanderers will be heading to the Amex Stadium to face Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League clash on Saturday. The Wolves are still upset about their recent VAR controversy, while Brighton’s recent form has been impressive.
Gary O’Neil’s team suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Manchester City in their last match, whereas Brighton managed to secure a 1-0 victory against Newcastle United.
Brighton, managed by Fabian Hurzeler, have been in great form this month, including a comeback from two goals down against Tottenham Hotspur. They currently sit in fifth place in the Premier League table with 15 points.
A win for Brighton this weekend could potentially see them move into the Champions League positions, as Arsenal are not playing until Sunday. Hurzeler has an unbeaten record at the Amex Stadium, with four wins and two draws in all competitions.
In their last three home matches, Brighton has been involved in high-scoring games, including a five-goal thriller against Wolves in the EFL Cup. However, their Premier League win rate against teams in the relegation zone is only 27%.
Wolves, on the other hand, have been struggling with six consecutive losses in all competitions, despite scoring in each of their last nine games. Manager Gary O’Neil has expressed frustration over the team’s position in the table and questioned bias towards title-challenging teams.
Despite their attacking prowess, Wolves have not been able to secure wins, with their last defeat coming against Brighton in the EFL Cup. Brighton has also had the upper hand in recent Premier League encounters against Wolves, taking 13 points from the last five meetings.
It will be an interesting clash between two teams looking to turn their fortunes around in the Premier League. The game promises to be entertaining, with both sides eager to secure a much-needed victory.
