Brighton and Hove Albion remain in relegation trouble after losing to Arsenal on Tuesday. They go into the weekend in 17th place and host Wolves who are down to 12th in the table. The home side have won just two league games all season and are yet to win on home soil. Form at the Amex has been disappointing for all of 2020. 17 home league games have produced just one win and that was over Arsenal in June. Since then, Brighton have played 12 home Premier League games and earned just five points. Goals are a big problem for Brighton with just four in the last six home league matches. Of those four goals, two were penalties, one an own goal and the other by Danny Welbeck. The relegation battle looks like seeing West Brom and Sheffield United go down and the other place between Fulham and Brighton. Brighon are two points clear of Fulham in 18th but the Londoners have a game in hand on the south coast side. The Seagulls have gone seven league fixtures without a win and with upcoming away games at Manchester City and Leeds United, they could do with a point or more from this match.

Wolves lost to a last gasp goa at Old Trafford on Tuesday night. Their ultra defensive display so nearly earned them a point before that fluky Rashford goal. Wolves are 12th but still only five points behind fifth place. Only one of their last six league games has been won, that being a 2-1 home win over Chelsea. The last three have only seen them earn a point and that was thanks to a late goal at home to Tottenham. Away form has seen Wolves lose their last three league games with only two wins in the last seven.  Only twice in their last nine league fixtures, have they managed to score twice in a game. The return of Jimenez or a new striker is needed if they are to make a push for European football next season. A bet on under 2.5 goals is the tip for this match.
