- Fixture: Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brighton & Hove Albion
- Date: Saturday, 10 May 2025
- Venue: Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton
Match Preview
Wolves are flying high coming into this clash, having won six of their last seven Premier League matches. Their recent form includes impressive victories over Leicester, Manchester United, Tottenham, Ipswich, West Ham, and Southampton, with only a narrow defeat to Manchester City breaking up their winning streak. This run has propelled them up the table and filled the squad with confidence as they look to finish the season strongly.
Brighton, on the other hand, are still in the hunt for a Europa Conference League spot with just a handful of games left. The Seagulls’ form has been patchy, but a dramatic late win over West Ham recently kept their European hopes alive. Fabian Hurzeler, the youngest permanent manager in Premier League history, will view European qualification as a superb first season at the helm of the south coast club.
Both teams have had to contend with injuries and suspensions. Wolves are missing several squad players, but their first-choice attackers remain fit and in form. Brighton continue to be without key men such as Solly March and João Pedro (suspended), while Kaoru Mitoma is a doubt. This could force Hurzeler to rely on experienced heads like Danny Welbeck and emerging talents to get a result at Molineux.
Expect an open game: Wolves have been ruthless in attack recently, while Brighton’s matches have often featured late drama and goals at both ends. With European football still on the line for the visitors and Wolves in red-hot recent form, this promises to be a compelling contest.
Key Players
- Matheus Cunha (Wolves): Wolves’ Brazilian forward is a world-class attacker, capable of turning games with his pace and finishing.
- Jørgen Strand Larsen (Wolves): The Norwegian striker is a physical presence up front and has a knack for scoring in big moments.
- Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton): A dazzling winger with excellent dribbling skills, Mitoma can unlock defences but faces a late fitness test.
Prediction
Wolves’ outstanding recent form and home advantage make them favourites, but Brighton’s European motivation and new manager bounce under Hurzeler could make things interesting. Still, with Wolves’ attack firing and Brighton missing key players, a narrow home win looks likely.
Prediction: Wolves 2-1 Brighton
