At the other end, Newcastle United got 14 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. Will Osula (12'), Dan Burn (24') and Harvey Barnes (95') scored for Newcastle United.

Brighton & Hove Albion haven’t had any problems with scoring, hitting the target in one hundred percent of their last 6 games.

They have managed to rack up 11 during that time and have conceded a total of 6. Nonetheless, we will just have to wait and see if that pattern shall be maintained in this next match or not.

📰 Team News: Brighton

It looks as if The Seagulls may well make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation in the match featuring Bart Verbruggen, Joel Veltman, Jan Paul van Hecke, Olivier Boscagli, Ferdi Kadioglu, Pascal Groß, Carlos Baleba, Yankuba Minteh, Jack Hinshelwood, Kaoru Mitoma and Danny Welbeck.

📰 Team News: Wolves

Wolves boss Rob Edwards has some current player fitness concerns. Sam Johnstone (Shoulder injury), José Sá (Ankle injury) and Ladislav Krejčí (Neck injury) are not able to play. Bin Xu cannot play in this game through suspension.

It’s our belief that Wolves seem most likely to play in a 3-4-2-1 lineup, settling for Jose Sa, Yerson Mosquera, Santiago Bueno, Toti Gomes, Pedro Lima, André Trindade, Joao Gomes, Hugo Bueno, Matheus Mane, Adam Armstrong and Tolu Arokodare.

🧠 Prediction

When taking all factors into account, Brighton & Hove Albion can and should convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.

At the same time, Wolverhampton Wanderers are also probably going to find it difficult to make a breakthrough but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be managing to get on the scoresheet as well here.

We can therefore see a fairly comfortable 3-1 victory for Brighton & Hove Albion when the full-time whistle blows.
