Brighton vs Wolverhampton prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 26, 2024
In the 9th round of the English Championship, Brighton will host Wolverhampton on Saturday at the Amex Stadium. Here’s the expert prediction for this match from the Dailysports team.
Brighton
The Seagulls have faced two direct competitors for European spots in their last two matches and emerged victorious in both. They first defeated Tottenham 3-2 at home and then secured a narrow 1-0 win against Newcastle away.
After eight rounds, Brighton has suffered just one defeat, placing them fifth in the table. They are only two points away from the Champions League zone, creating promising prospects for the team. Notably, Brighton remains unbeaten in four home matches, achieving two victories.
Wolverhampton
The Wolves are still in the relegation zone, with just one point from a draw against Nottingham Forest (1-1). Following that match, Gary O'Neil's side has endured five consecutive league defeats, with at least two goals conceded in each game.
Wolverhampton is in a tough spot overall, having lost 10 of their last 11 matches. They have managed only one point from four away games, suffering three defeats. Currently, they are just three points adrift of the safety line in 17th place.
