Wolves vs Brighton Prediction
Their previous meeting earlier this season was a 1-1 draw in Wolves’ home court and Brighton is 6-1-3 in its last 10 meetings against Wolves. Under is 4-2 in their last 6 meetings.
In this Wolves vs Brighton Prediction, Brighton is coming as -425 home favorites. Wolves have been the worst team in the Premier League and have already been relegated while Brighton is still fighting for a place on the top-7 that leads to next season’s European Championships. They have been in good form, having won six of their last 9 games and three of their last four at home, while Wolves have lost three of their last four. I expect a comfortable win for the home side in this matchup, so take Brighton by -1.5 goals in this one.
