Key Players - Wolves

Defensively, Wolves will rely heavily on Matthew James Doherty, who has been solid at the back with a rating of 6.63. With 2 shots on target and a goal, his contributions extend beyond defending into launching attacks.

In midfield, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde stands out with a 6.74 rating. His all-round play, evidenced by 1 assist and 6 key passes, will be central to Wolves' strategy to control the game and create scoring opportunities.

The attacking threat for Wolves is personified by Raúl Alonso Jiménez Rodríguez, the team's top performer with a 6.82 rating. With 5 goals from 13 shots on target, his clinical finishing is a danger that Brighton must be wary of.

Recent Form

Brighton's recent form presents a mixed bag with the sequence WDLDW, demonstrating resilience but also some inconsistency. Sitting at 8th with 30 points, their goal difference of +5 reflects a stable campaign thus far.

Wolves, on the other hand, have shown a resurgence with WWWLD, climbing to the 11th spot with 28 points. Despite a negative goal difference of -1, their recent victories suggest a team finding rhythm and confidence.

The statistics back this up, with Brighton having a total percent chance of victory at 57.7% compared to Wolves' 42.7%. The advice leans toward a "Double chance: Brighton or draw."

With Brighton's home advantage and the key contributions expected from Welbeck, Buonanotte, and Fati, they are poised to maintain their upper hand. Wolves will not make it easy, especially with the likes of Doherty, Bellegarde, and Jiménez on the pitch. However, Brighton's offensive stats and head-to-head dominance suggest they have the edge.
