Wolves' search for a first win of the Premier League season continues on Sunday when they welcome inconsistent Brighton to the Molineux.
Wolves have endured a nightmare start to the campaign, as they lost each of their opening five Premier League fixtures of the season, with the latest coming in a 1-3 defeat at home to newly-promoted Leeds United.
However, it looked as if Vitor Pereira’s men were going to claim their first maximum at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium last weekend, until a stoppage-time equaliser from Joao Palhinha meant they left North London with their first point of the campaign.
Brighton took advantage of Chelsea going down to 10 men, as they came from a goal down to win 1-3 at Stamford Bridge, on an afternoon where SlipsTips landed another couple of winners.
That result means The Seagulls have now W2-D2-L2 in the Premier League this season, highlighting just how inconsistent a side they are.
How the bookies view it: Brighton favourites
The bookies expect Brighton to back up their victory at Stamford Bridge last weekend, with BoyleSports pricing an away success at 20/21.
Wolves are 13/5 to finally get their first Premier League win of the season, whilst the draw is 5/2.
Head to head: Seven unbeaten for Seagulls
Brighton are unbeaten in each of their previous seven Premier League meetings with Wolves (W5-D2-L0), winning on each of their last four trips to the Molineux.
Players to watch: Danny looks back in the goals
Danny Welbeck finally got off the mark in the Premier League last weekend, as he scored the equaliser and Brighton’s third at Stamford Bridge.
The ex-Arsenal and Manchester United frontman scored in both Premier League meetings with Wolves last season and is 15/8 at BoyleSports to repeat the feat on Sunday.
Predicted line-ups:
Wolves will be without right-backs Matt Doherty and Ki-Jana Hoever through injury.
Fabian Hurzeler will be unable to call upon Adam Webster, Joel Veltman, Jack Hinshelwood and Solly March, whilst Danny Welbeck is expected to come into the starting lineup following his brace at Chelsea last weekend.
Wolverhampton Wanderers: Johnstone, Agbadou, Bueno, Krejci, Munetsi, Andre, Gomes, Bueno, Arias, Hwang, Larsen
Brighton & Hove Albion: Verbruggen, Wieffer, Dunk, Van Hecke, Kadioglu, Baleba, Ayari, Minteh, Gomez, Mitoma, Welbeck
Anything else catch the eye?
Both of these two clubs come into this fixture without a clean sheet in the Premier League this season, which should lead us to a match filled with goals.
Both Teams to Score has landed in three of Wolves’ past four Premier League fixtures, and given the same has landed in 5/6 (83%) of Brighton’s league contests, the 3/4 on offer at Bet365 for a repeat appeals.
The Old Gold’s three Premier League encounters at the Molineux have yielded 13 goals (0-4, 2-3 & 1-3), whilst The Seagulls’ last four across all venues have seen a minimum of three strikes, and a repeat also appeals at 4/5 with BoyleSports.
