Winning Prediction

Brighton head into this clash full of confidence, not just because of their recent form but also their impressive record against Wolves, having won on each of their last four visits to Molineux. 

The Seagulls will fancy their chances of extending that run, yet Wolves cannot be overlooked. After showing real defensive solidity in back-to-back games against stronger opposition, Vitor Pereira’s men look more assured and determined.
