Brighton v Wolves

Brighton vs Wolves Preview

Brighton made it back-to-back wins in the Premier League last weekend when The Seagulls outgunned The Magpies at St James' Park with a 2-1 win against Newcastle United, while Wolves' bad luck continued with a 2-1 loss at home to Manchester City in controversial circumstances, leaving Wolves boss Gary O'Neil somewhat perplexed.

Brighton have lifted themselves up into fifth place in the Premier League standings thanks to recent wins against Tottenham and Newcastle United respectively and along with being handed just the single loss within their opening eight league games so far this season, the south coast hosts look in good shape to add to their points tally this Saturday.

Despite a heavy 4-2 loss away from home to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, Brighton have produced some solid performances so far in this season's campaign as The Seagulls have collected four wins along with points picked up in three draws as well.

Victories gained over Everton, Manchester United, Tottenham and Newcastle United will give Fabian Hürzeler's side plenty of confidence ahead of this upcoming encounter, especially as Brighton have been handed just four defeats in their previous 21 home games, whilst recording nine wins along the way.

Wolves' cursed luck in the English top flight continued last weekend when Manchester City were awarded a highly contentious match-winner in stoppage time after the west midlands club had given a good account of themselves throughout the match at Molineux.

To make matters worse, that loss became a fifth league defeat on the trot for Gary O'Neill's side and he must be wondering what his side have to do to open their account in this season's campaign having drawn once but slipping to seven defeats as well.

The visitors' singular point to date this term came courtesy of a 1-1 draw away from home at Nottingham Forest but the outlook appears increasingly bleak for the west midlands club who have managed to pick up just one point from a possible 24 on offer.

Another defeat away from home against an in-form and confident Brighton outfit could see O'Neill edging his way towards the exit and having now failed to win any of their last 11 league matches overall as well as being handed 10 defeats in the process, Wolves look to have their work cut out if they're to get a result down on the south coast on Saturday afternoon.

In addition, Wolves are without an away win from their last 10 attempts and includes being dealt no fewer than seven defeats within this period as well.
