Wolverhampton
The team managed to break their five-match losing streak in the league with a draw against Tottenham (1-1) in the last round. However, Wolverhampton's run of conceding goals has now stretched to 10 matches. Notably, in the Premier League 2025/26, only three clubs have yet to keep a clean sheet. The first point earned helped Vítor Pereira's side reduce the gap to the safe 17th place to four points.
- The team has not scored more than one goal in 6 of their last 7 Premier League matches.
- The club has been unable to win at home for 5 matches in the league (1 draw, 4 losses).

Brighton
In the last round, the team managed to secure an away victory against Chelsea (3-1). Fabian Hürzeler's side has not lost in 9 of their last 11 league matches (6 wins, 3 draws), though they have only kept a clean sheet in one of these games.

Wolverhampton vs. Brighton: Match Prediction
Vítor Pereira's side has earned their first points in the current league campaign, but this is little consolation for Wolverhampton fans. Their beloved team has been unable to win in 10 Premier League matches (2 draws, 8 losses), conceding 21 goals in this span. Even home advantage hasn't helped the club achieve positive results: their last victory was at the end of last season against relegated Leicester. In that match, the club managed a clean sheet, but since then, 13 goals have been conceded in 5 home matches for Wolverhampton.
Brighton currently looks much better. Fabian Hürzeler's side is 7 points ahead of their nearest rivals in the standings and can boast victories over Manchester United and Chelsea. Additionally, the team has scored in 13 of their last 14 Premier League matches, with at least two goals in 9 of these occasions.
The visitors should pick up points in a high-scoring match. My prediction: Brighton will not lose and Total over 1.5 goals
