Wolves vs Brighton Preview

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Saturday, 10 May
• Kick-Off Time: 02:00 PM GMT
• Venue: Molineux Stadium

The Wolves vs Brighton match will be played on Saturday, 10 May at Molineux Stadium. The 13th-placed team will host the 10th-placed team in the Premier League.

Wolves will be happy with how they have performed this season, even though at times they were a bit inconsistent; they played good football throughout this season. A lot of improvements still need to be made in the team, but they will be disappointed not to finish the league in the top 10 position. In 35 games, they won 12 matches, drew five, and lost 18 games. With 41 points on the table, they are sitting in the 13th position. They have dropped a lot of points from a position where they could get at least one point, which shows a lot of improvements need to be made in the defence. They will look to enjoy the home advantage on Saturday and will have to be at their best to win at home.

The Seagulls started their season very well, but this year was full of ups and downs for them. Their performance was not up to the mark as injuries made things complicated for Fabian Hurzeler and his coaching staff. Fans are also divided in their opinions, as some want changes in their team, and some want to continue with this team only.

Quality-wise, they are a team that can finish high up in the table and will be disappointed not to achieve their objectives this season. In 34 games, they have won 13 games, drawn 12, and lost nine games, with 51 points on the table; they are sitting in the 10th spot. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Key Players to Watch in Wolves vs Brighton

Matheus Cunha (Wolves)

Cunha is undoubtedly one of Wolves' key attacking players, if not the most important. His third season at the club could prove to be his best in terms of attacking output. Cunha isn't all about goalscoring, though; one of his main strengths is his ability to run with the ball and progress upfield.

His ability to carry the ball over vast distances on the pitch is helpful for a Wolves team who have often played with a low block and looks to counterattack opponents. He has that Brazilian flair in him and can dribble past players with his pace. Cunha has good strength and can shrug off challenges quite easily. He has played 31 games this season, in which he scored 15 goals and provided six assists.

Pervis Estupinan (Brighton)

Estupinan is not just an attacking outlet, he also fares well in the defensive part of the game. He is not the fastest player out there, but he has very good acceleration combined with good upper-body strength. This makes it harder for the opposition to push him off the ball. He is a player who has verticality in his game and is good at progressing the ball.

Estupinan is a perfect player for Fabian Hurzeler's system, and he has done well this season. Even though he has faced some criticism due to poor defending, he is still an integral part of the Seagulls squad. In 30 games, he has scored one goal and provided one assist, he has also received six yellow cards this season.

Wolves vs Brighton Prediction

Quality-wise, they are on a similar level. This will be a tightly contested match for sure. Both teams have players in their teams who can make the difference on the pitch. This will be an exciting clash for sure, the Seagulls most probably will win this match and will get all three points away from home.

Predicted Score: Wolves 1-2 Brighton
