Brighton & Hove Albion head to Molineux on Saturday, May 10, clinging to hopes of sneaking into Europe. Wolverhampton Wanderers, already safe but chasing club history, welcome them in what promises to be a free-flowing mid-table clash.

🏟️ Venue: Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton
Wolves saw their epic six-game winning streak snapped by Manchester City last weekend, falling 1-0 at the Etihad. But that result hasn’t dulled the shine on Vitor Pereira’s high-flying side.
They’ve scored 51 goals in the Premier League this season—just one short of their all-time record (set in 1979-80 with 58 in the top flight). With eight goals in their last three home games, history could be written in front of the Molineux faithful.
Brighton are only one point off eighth-placed Bournemouth, which could be enough for a UEFA Conference League spot. But Fabian Hürzeler’s side have been stuttering, with just one win in their last eight games and only one point from their last three away.
Last time out, they drew 1-1 with Newcastle after Yasin Ayari conceded a late penalty, cancelling out Yankuba Minteh’s opener.
Wolves are expected to have Jorgen Strand Larsen back from a groin issue, a huge boost to their front line. Long-term absentees (Kalajdzic, Gonzalez, Mosquera, Chiwone, and Johnstone) remain sidelined.
Brighton, meanwhile, could see Kaoru Mitoma and Solly March return, both key to unlocking Wolves’ defense. Joao Pedro is still suspended, and James Milner and Ferdi Kadioglu are ruled out.
Wolves – Jorgen Strand Larsen
The Norwegian striker returns just one goal shy of helping Wolves break their Premier League scoring record. Expect him to start up top and make an impact early.
Brighton – Kaoru Mitoma
Mitoma’s pace and dribbling can be game-changers. With 9 PL goals so far, he’s chasing double digits and will want to mark his return with a bang.
Wolves 2-2 Brighton
Both teams have firepower, both leak goals, and with European spots and club records on the line, expect end-to-end football and a score draw.
