Wolverhampton Wanderers form and stats

7-2-7 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Wolverhampton Wanderers so far this season.

Stress levels are on the rise for Wolverhampton Wanderers's attacking players as they have now played 234 minutes without scoring in a league game. Young (own goal) was their last goal scorer.

In their previous game, the manager Nascimento led his Wolverhampton Wanderers to a defeat away at Burnley. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Molineux Stadium. Boly, defender, was given a rating of 7.81/10 in that game, top of the team. Boly won 9 of 15 duels.

Heartbreak before that as Wolves lost 0-1 at Newcastle United's place.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Wolverhampton Wanderers have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost six.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 16 games.

Brighton & Hove Albion form and stats

The visitors are W6-D7-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League.

Brighton's last game was the home draw against Southampton (2-2). Drawing 2-2 against Southampton after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager Potter needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. The attacker Welbeck got a match rating of 7.22 in that game. Welbeck scored one goal.

Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Manchester City's place.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Brighton & Hove Albion playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were four Brighton & Hove Albion wins, four draws and two defeats.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Brighton have scored 19 goals in 17 league games away. As opposed to that, Brighton & Hove Albion have seen the ball go into their own net 20 times on the road.
