Brighton vs Wolves

Wolves have avoided defeat after being at least two goals down in a Premier League game for the first time since May 2022 against Chelsea. Indeed, they’d lost each of their last 30 such games prior to today.

Brighton have failed to win a Premier League game when leading by 2+ goals for the first time since a 3-3 draw with Liverpool in October 2022, while it’s the first time at home since April 2022 against Southampton.

Despite two dropped points, Brighton’s 16 points after nine games is their joint-best return in a top-flight season after 2023-24 (also 16).

Having won just one of their first seven Premier League meetings with Wolves (D4 L2), Brighton have now won four of their last five against them (D1).

Wolves have won just three of their 20 away league games against Brighton (D8 L9), with all three victories coming by a 1-0 scoreline (September 2004, January 2016 and December 2021).

Brighton are looking to win three successive Premier League games for the first time since September 2023, while the Seagulls are also looking to win two in a row without conceding in the competition for the first time since April/May 2023 – one of which was against Wolves.

Wolves have picked up just one point in their last 11 Premier League games, losing more games (10) and conceding more goals (33) than any other side in that time.

In their first four Premier League seasons, Brighton’s average point tally after eight matches was 7.8. Since 2021-22, they are averaging exactly 15 points at this stage, winning 15 this season (W4 D3 L1).
