Brighton, on the other hand, have enjoyed a resurgence under Roberto De Zerbi, winning five of their last six league matches to climb to seventh place. Can Wolves pull off an upset and halt Brighton's impressive run, or will the Seagulls continue their upward trajectory? Here's a breakdown of the match, including predictions, betting lines, and key statistics. ### Team News Wolves will be without suspended defender Toti Gomes, while Boubacar Traore is a doubt with a calf injury. New signing Mario Lemina could make his debut for the hosts. Brighton have no major injury concerns, with only long-term absentee Jakub Moder (knee) unavailable. ### Betting Lines **Match Winner:** * Wolves: +200 (DraftKings) * Draw: +240 (BetMGM) * Brighton: +120 (Caesars) **Spread:** * Wolves +0.5 (-110) * Brighton -0.5 (-110) **Total Goals:** * Over 2.5 (+100) * Under 2.5 (-120) ### Key Statistics * Wolves have lost their last three Premier League matches, conceding 10 goals. * Brighton are unbeaten in their last six league games, winning five. * Wolves have the worst defensive record in the Premier League, conceding 37 goals in 20 matches. * Brighton have scored 16 goals in their last six league matches, averaging 2.67 goals per game. * Wolves have won only one of their last nine home Premier League matches (D1 L7). ### Prediction Despite their recent struggles, Wolves have shown signs of improvement under new manager Julen Lopetegui, and they will be buoyed by the return of several key players. However, Brighton are in excellent form and will be confident of extending their winning streak. Brighton's attacking prowess makes them the favorites for this match, but Wolves will be determined to make it difficult for them. A low-scoring draw is the most likely outcome. **Suggested Bet:** Draw +240 (BetMGM)
