BRIGHTON
Brighton are currently 8th on the log with 3 draws, a victory and a loss in their last 5 starts. They played to a goalless draw at West Ham away last time out and their last home game was a thrilling 4-2 win over Tottenham, a game where they started 15/10.
Overall at home this season they have played 10 times, winning 5 and drawing 4 with just a lone defeat and 7 of the 10 Brighton home matches have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers.
WOLVES
Wolves are currently 11th on the log and are on an impressive run of 3 successive victories. They beat Everton 3-0 at home last time out and their last away game was at Brentford when they triumphed 4-1.
Had you been backing over 2.5 goals in Wolves games you would have collected profits in their last 4 matches. Prior to that away win over Brentford, Wolves had lost their previous 4 away games and they have taken 10 points from a possible 30 away this season.
Head-to-Head
These sides have played some thrilling matches with Brighton winning 4-1 at Wolves earlier in the season and last season Brighton won this fixture 6-0 and beat Wolves 3-2 on the road so there have been 16 goals in the last three meetings between the sides.

Brighton 4/6
Draw 16/5
Wolves 4/1
The bookies are wide awake and under 2.5 goals is priced at 8/13. Given the history between these sides and that goals have been flowing in Wolves games in particular of late, I am happy to throw an extra goal in at a bigger price and will look for at least 4 goals in the match.
Suggested Bet: Over 3.5 goals at 15/10
I do think that Brighton will be too strong for Wolves despite the fact that Wolves are on such a good run and I am going to take a correct score play here that the home team win 3-1.
Suggested Bet: Correct Score, 3-1 at 11/1
Remember there are literally hundreds of markets you can bet on before and during the game including who will be the first goal scorer, the last goal scorer and to score anytime. The favourite to be the first goal scorer is Joao Pedro currently priced at 9/2.
