Brighton to win

Wolves have been on an impressive run recently to pull themselves out of danger and will be hoping to end the campaign on a high. Brighton have struggled for consistency recently but they are still on track for a top-half finish.

Team news

Wolves will be without long-term absentees Leon Chiwome, Sasa Kalajdzic, Yerson Mosquera and Enso Gonzalez, who all have knee injuries.

Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is also expected to miss out, while Jorgen Strand Larsen faces a late fitness test following a hip issue.

Brighton are over the worst of their injury crisis but will still be without Ferdi Kadioglu, Georginio Rutter and James Milner for this match. Kaoru Mitoma and Solly March face late fitness tests with calf and knee injuries, respectively.

The stats

No team in the Premier League has shared the goals around more than Brighton this season, with 16 different goalscorers.

Their away games tend to be high-scoring affairs, with six of Brighton's last eight Premier League road trips have ended with four or more goals.

No defender in the top flight has been involved in more goals than Rayan Ait Nouri, who has four goals and seven assists this term.

Prediction

Wolves may have been on a good run lately, but they have benefitted from a kind fixture list and they may struggle against this Brighton side.

The Old Gold were beaten 1-0 by Manchester City last time out and have lost four of the last six league meetings against the Seagulls.

Fabian Hurzeler's men were impressive in their 1-1 draw with Newcastle and had seen off West Ham before that so look a solid proposition to pick up another away win.

The visitors are over the worst of their injury crisis and will want to finish the German manager's first season in charge on a high.

Take Brighton to pick up the win on the road and move one step closer to securing a top-half finish in the process.
