Brighton and Hove Albion start the weekend in 12th place but still only six points above the relegation zone. They have won their last two league games, beating West Ham at home and then ending a long winless away run with a win at Newcastle United. That's the first time since February that they have won two successive league games and now host ninth-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers. Home form this season has seen Brighton win two, draw one and lose to Tottenham. None of their next seven league games are against sides currently in the top seven so they have to make the most of this period to build up some points. That's what happened last season and it kept them up after a poor second-half to the season. They will hope to have star striker Glenn Murray back after he was taken off at Newcastle with concussion.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are ninth in the Premier League and four points clear of their opponents. Last weekend saw them surprisingly lose 2-0 at home to Watford ending a run of six league games without a defeat. Goals are never flowing in their games though and in nine league games this season, they have scored nine and conceded eight. All bar their opening 2-2 draw with Everton have had under 2.5 goals scored in them plus two Carabao Cup ties. Every away game this season has had under 2.5 goals scored and just three goals in the last three league matches on the road. Brighton have only scored ten league goals this season and the tip here is for under 2.5 goals to be scored in this match.
