Wolves vs Brighton

Since the start of the 2022-23 campaign, Brighton are the opponent that Wolves have faced the joint-most times in the Premier League without managing a win (7 – D3 L4), along with seven versus Newcastle (D2 L5).

Brighton have won 30 points from losing positions under Fabian Hürzeler in the Premier League; more than any other team since the start of last season. Indeed, they have only lost two of their last seven league games in which they have conceded the opening goal (W4 D1).

Since the start of the 2022-23 season, Brighton have scored more own goals in league action than any other team in Europe’s big-five leagues (12). Those 12 own goals have been scored by 10 different players, with goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen being the 10th today.

Wolves have won just two of their 14 Premier League games against Brighton (D6 L6) and are winless in their last seven (D2 L5) since a 1-0 triumph in December 2021 under Bruno Lage.

Brighton have won each of their last four league visits to Wolves; the only sides the Seagulls have ever won 5+ successive away games against in their league history are Grimsby Town (5 from 1985 to 1992) and Wolves themselves (6 from 1979 to 1991).

Only against West Ham (31) have Brighton scored more Premier League goals than they have against Wolves (27), with their average of 1.9 goals per game against Wolves their joint-best of any opponent they’ve faced more than twice in the competition.

Wolves have lost their first three home Premier League matches this season – they could be the first side in top-flight history to lose their opening four at home in consecutive seasons, having done so in 2024-25.

Wolves are winless in their last 10 Premier League games (D2 L8), with a 94th minute João Palhinha strike denying them their first win of the season last time out against Spurs. They’ve already lost at home to Brighton in this run, going down 2-0 in May.
