Brighton v Wolves predictions

Brighton hold a rather odd record, in that they have never won at home on a Monday in the Premier League, losing four and drawing five in that sequence.

However, that may finally be about to change when Wolves rock up at the Amex Stadium, with Roberto De Zerbi’s side in fine form on their own patch.

Brighton have lost just one of their ten home league matches this term and are enjoying an nine-game unbeaten streak at the Amex across all competitions, in a run that has included wins over Tottenham, Ajax and Marseille.

That home form will fill De Zerbi with confidence ahead of this fixture, as will the result of the last season’s corresponding fixture.

Brighton ran out 6-0 victors that day, recording their biggest Premier League win while simultaneously inflicting Wolves’ heaviest top-flight defeat in the process.

The Seagulls have dominated this clash in recent times, winning the last four meetings by an aggregate 16-3 scoreline, and they can take the points again.Wolves have been in good form, winning their last three Premier League matches, but they perform far better at Molineux than on the road and could be in for more awayday misery when they head to East Sussex.

Gary O’Neil’s side have managed just one away win in their last five Premier League road games – in a run that began with a loss at basement boys Sheffield United – with their sole victory coming away at Brentford.

However, the Bees had lost their previous three matches, so a Wanderers win wasn’t unexpected, and Wolves relied heavily on the two goals and performance of Hee-Chan Hwang, who will be absent for tonight’s assignment due to his Asian Cup commitments.

So a Brighton victory is fancied at the Amex – and so too are plenty of goals. The last four meetings between these sides have featured at least three goals, while a bet on over 2.5 has landed in Wolves’ last six away matches and seven of the Seagulls’ ten Premier League home games this term.

All ten of Brighton’s home league games this season have seen both teams find the net and it would be no surprise if Wolves were able to add to a high goals total on the south coast.

However, the Seagulls can be almost unstoppable when at their vibrant best – as Wolves found out in their last visit to East Sussex – and Albion could overpower Wanderers and take three points in an exciting affair to rid themselves of their Monday blues.

Brighton v Wolves bet builder predictions

Joao Pedro to score
Brighton's Brazilian forward has been in exceptional form this season and has scored four times in his last three games, suggesting he an find the net against Wolves.

Nelson Semedo to be booked
The return of Pervis Estupinan has made Brighton much more dangerous down the left and Nelson Semedo may struggle to cope with the Ecuadorian, which could lead to the Wolves right wing-back earning a sixth yellow card of the Premier League season.

Jose Sa to make over 2.5 saves
Jose Sa has had to make at least three saves in four of Wolves' last five games, and Brighton could spring the Portuguese goalkeeper into action on a few occasions.

Pays out at 8-1 with bet365
