  • Two of the last three Premier League meetings between these sides have ended in draws

  • Brighton have kept just one clean sheet in their last 18 Premier League games

  • Recommended bet: Draw

Wolves are the only team in the Premier League still chasing their first win of the season but last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Tottenham should have done their confidence the world of good and they will provide a tough challenge for Sunday’s visitors Brighton.

Having lost their opening five games, that first point of the campaign came on the back of a 2-0 victory over Everton in the Carabao Cup and after a disastrous start they may finally be getting their act together.

This represents another stern challenge to their survival credentials against Brighton, who are bidding to build on a 3-1 victory against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge last weekend.

The Seagulls have eight points from six games, having endured defeats on trips to Everton and Bournemouth, and Wolves should be hungry to make it seventh time lucky at Molineux.

Team news

Wolves remain without long-term absentee Leon Chiwome while Toti Gomes is a doubt due to illness and experienced defender Matt Doherty is set for a spell on the sidelines.

As for Brighton, Adam Webster, Solly March and Jack Hinshelwood remain out and they have been joined on the treatment table by Joel Veltman, who is struggling with a calf issue.

The stats 

Wolves have won just two of their 14 Premier League games against Brighton (D6 L6) and are winless in seven meetings with the Seagulls.

Brighton have won on each of their last four league visits to Wolves.

Wolves have lost their first three home Premier League matches this season.

Wolves are winless in their last 10 Premier League games, but they got their first point of the season in a 1-1 draw at Tottenham last weekend.

Brighton have kept just one clean sheet in their last 18 Premier League games and both teams have scored in four of their last five outings.

Two of the last three Premier League meetings between these sides have ended in draws.

Prediction

With Wolves collecting only one point from six games, many feel this is a penalty kick for Brighton on the back of last weekend’s impressive 3-1 victory at Chelsea.

But three of Wolves’ five league losses have been by a solitary goal and they produced an encouraging performance in a recent 1-1 draw at Tottenham, who needed an injury-time equaliser from unlikely source Joao Palhinha to spare their blushes.

So Wolves, having drawn with Brighton in two of their last three league meetings, may be able to battle for a point and they will be buoyed by the fact that the Seagulls rarely make things easy for themselves following just one clean sheet in 18 top-flight fixtures.
