Prediction published on 08/05/2021, 04:00  by Daniel Ngulu in Premier League Predictions

Wolverhampton Wanderers will play host to Brighton on Sunday in their Round 35 Premier League encounter as both sides seek to finish the season strongly. Wolves go to this game knowing they have their league status secure, having garnered 42 points so far, and in 12th place. Brighton on the other hand are not yet safe, being 15th with 37 points. The hosts haven’t had a very good run ahead of this game; they suffered a 4-0 loss to Burnley then made some recovery in the 1-1 draw with West Brom in the last game. Injuries to key players, especially Raul Jimenez, have left Wolves short in attack. While they’ve only failed to score in three of their last 11 matches, they haven’t managed more than a goal in nine of the last 10. In the 10 league matches, Wolves have won three and at home, they have three losses in the last four league games. In the last six league matches at home, Wolves have scored more than a goal in just one and failed to score completely in three.

Brighton on the other hand, head to this game having beaten Leeds United 2-0 in their last game. They are three points away from safety and can confirm their league status this weekend. While Wolves have nothing much to play for here, the game could be the difference between survival and relegation for Brighton, as they have tough fixtures to wrap up the season. They face West Ham United, Manchester City and Arsenal in the last three matches, which means, securing three points against Wolves will be very key. Their win over Leeds was the first in five matches, and they’ve failed to score in three of the last four, though they have three clean sheets in four. They’ve scored more than a goal in just one of the last five matches, each of the last four producing under 2.5 goals. Though with a low rate, most of their wins in the league this season have come in away matches – five in 17.
