Our prediction for the match Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brighton & Hove Albion
The club from Molineux spent the previous season under the leadership of O’Neil. The mentor coped excellently, although he came literally at the last moment, after a sharp break with Lopetegui, taking 14th place with 46 points. The guests, who debuted at the international arena in the autumn of 2023 and won their group in the Europa League, then lost their courage. The club quickly dropped out of the play-offs and finished only in 11th position at the native arena, having got 2 points more than the current opponent.
The team tried to fix that in the summer. De Zerbi, who had been “sitting on his suitcases” for a long time, was replaced by the young specialist, German Hürzeler, and the newcomers were actively signed (the management spent more than a hundred million). It seemed that Fabian would justify the investment for a long time by returning his new wards to the European competition. Still, the declines, which alternated with successful streaks, were too protracted. For instance, the club, taking into account the elimination from the cup, could not win 6 matches in a row in the spring. Only unstable West Ham was beaten. That success was followed only by a draw, but in the struggle with a strong opponent, Newcastle. Wolverhampton completely messed up the start, and Gary could not cope with that. Only being under the leadership of Pereira, who had replaced him, the team manages to improve the performance. Moreover, the footballers, having resolved the issue of “survival”, continued to win in the spring. Manchester City also suffered in the previous round – it won minimally, with a 1-0 score.
Matheus Cunha and the company score one and a half goals per round, but they still concede noticeably more – 1.77. Brighton, even under the leadership of the current specialist, plays spectacularly: more than 1.6 goals both scored and conceded.

There is more faith in the guests and, generally speaking, they at least formally have tournament motivation. At the same time, the hosts are clearly in better shape – as a result, it makes sense to expect them to win with “a 0 goal handicap” (odd: 1.99).
