After an eventful start to the Premier League on Matchday 1, it returns this weekend. Teams will be hoping to stamp their authority on the league and signal their intentions at either end of the table. Two such teams are Wolves and Brighton. Read my Wolves vs. Brighton predictions below.
Correct Score Prediction
Wolves started the season with a controversial 1-0 defeat at Old Trafford and performed much better than many expected. Brighton opened their campaign in emphatic fashion, dispatching Premier League new boys Luton Town 4-1. On another day, it could’ve been more, so Roberto De Zerbi will be hoping his side are more clinical on the weekend and are less shaky at the back. Albion should win, but their leaky defence could see Wolves score.
3-1: 15.00

Brighton win 1.95
Draw No Bet Predictions
Brighton had the 4th best away record in the Premier League last season and claimed a few big victories at Stamford Bridge, The Emirates, and Old Trafford, as well as drawing at Anfield against Liverpool. Betking has priced Brighton at 1.44 for draw-no-bet.
1DNB- 1.44
GG Predictions
A whopping 79% of Brighton away games saw GG last season, with Roberto De Zerbi’s attacking philosophy often leading to the Seagulls being exposed defensively. While only 21% of Wolves home games last season saw GG, 53% of Wolves games last season saw GG land.
With a new manager at the helm, positivity is rife at the Molineux. They looked confident and assured in the opener against Manchester United, recording an XG of 2.49. With a bit more luck, they should have no problem scoring this weekend.
Our Analysis of the Wolves vs Brighton Match
In their 1-0 defeat to Manchester United, Wolves played on the front foot. Their tally of 23 shots tonight was the second most in a Premier League away game at Old Trafford in recorded history (since 2003–04).
They endured a tough summer, losing club icon Ruben Neves as well as talented centre-back Nathan Collins. Not many new players signed, with the majority of business involving re-signing loan players.
Gary O’Neil has a fully fit squad to rely on, with his team surviving the controversial game against Manchester United unscathed. He is likely to favour Matheus Cunha in the false nine role, with the Brazilian recording five shots at Old Trafford.
Brighton also recorded a lot of shots against Luton, scoring four goals from 27 shots at an expected goal rate of 4.01. It could’ve and should’ve been more, with Albion squandering a host of big chances.
They’ve enjoyed a fruitful summer of profit, with the sales of Robert Sanchez, Moises Caicedo, and Alexis Mac Allister netting them just short of £200 million.
Joao Pedro was the standout summer acquisition, with Brighton spending £30 million and smashing their transfer record to sign the Brazilian. Mo Dahoud and Pascal Groß form a technical partnership in midfield and possess the ability to break stubborn defences down.
Tariq Lamptey, Adam Webster, and Adam Lallana missed out against Luton with minor niggles and will be in contention to make the matchday squad
