Match Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-1 Brighton & Hove Albion

Wolves are in a bit of a rut, but playing at home might just give them the boost they need. They've been struggling to find the back of the net, but with players like Larsen, they've got the firepower to cause Brighton some trouble.

Brighton, on the other hand, has been a bit up and down, but can be deadly on their day. They'll look to exploit Wolves' shaky defence, but it won't be easy against a team desperate for a win.

Wolves have had a rough patch lately, losing four out of their last five games. They've been particularly poor at home, losing their last two matches at Molineux. This could play on their minds, but they'll be eager to turn things around. With key players like Larsen and Hwang  in attack, they've got the talent to bounce back, but they need to be more clinical in front of goal.

• Draw: 1-1 vs Tottenham Hotspur (A)

• Loss: 1-3 vs Leeds United (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Newcastle United (A)

• Loss: 2-3 vs Everton (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs AFC Bournemouth (A)

Brighton have been a bit inconsistent, with two wins, a draw, and two losses in their recent outings. They've shown they can beat top teams like Chelsea and Manchester City, but they've also had some disappointing results. Their away form has been a concern, losing two out of their last three on the road. If they can sort out their defensive issues, they've got a good chance of getting something from this match.

• Win: 3-1 vs Chelsea (A)

• Draw: 2-2 vs Tottenham Hotspur (H)

• Loss: 1-2 vs AFC Bournemouth (A)

• Win: 2-1 vs Manchester City (H)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Everton (A)

Brighton have had the upper hand in recent meetings with Wolves, winning three out of the last five encounters. Their most recent victory was a convincing 2-0 win at Molineux.

However, Wolves managed to secure a draw in their last away game at Brighton, showing they can compete against the Seagulls. This history suggests a close contest, but Brighton will be confident of getting a result.

• Predicted lineup: Johnstone, Doherty, S Bueno, Krejci, H Bueno, João Gomes, André, Arias, Munetsi, Hwang, Larsen

With a solid midfield pair of André and João Gomes, Wolves will look to control the game and feed the ball to their attacking threats. Their defence, led by Santiago Bueno, will need to be at their best to keep Brighton's dangerous forwards at bay.

• Predicted lineup: Verbruggen, Veltman, van Hecke, Dunk, Kadıoğlu, Baleba, Ayari, Minteh, Gómez, Mitoma, Rutter

Brighton's attack, spearheaded by Rutter and supported by Minteh and Mitoma, will look to exploit Wolves' shaky defence. In midfield, Baleba and Ayari will need to be at their best to control the game and provide a solid base for their attacking players.

• Ladislav Krejci vs Georginio Rutter: Rutter’s vision and finishing will be tested against Krejci’s defensive solidity.

• Hwang Hee-chan vs Diego Gómez: Hwang's creativity and tactical intelligence will be crucial against Gómez's tenacity and ball-winning ability.

• Jhon Arias (Wolverhampton Wanderers): Arias is a key player for Wolves, providing a threat from the wing with his pace and crossing ability.

• Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton & Hove Albion): Mitoma is one of Brighton's main attacking threats, capable of creating and scoring goals with his skill and pace.
