The last match of Round 21 in the English Premier League sees Wolves travel down to the south coast to take on Brighton at the American Express Stadium. Brighton are fighting for another campaign in Europe next season, while Wolves know that a couple of more wins will put them right in the mixer for qualification for European football come May. This should be an entertaining clash between two decent teams, but who do I think will go on and win? Well, all will be revealed below, so keep on reading.
🏆 Brighton vs Wolves: Who Will Win?
There is one thing that can be guaranteed when watching Roberto De Zerbi's Brighton play, and this is that they will not give a quarter and will keep looking to score goals no matter the state of play. They want to win matches, but they also want to entertain the fans, and this is what they have been doing all season. In fact, only four teams have scored more goals than them this campaign. From their previous 6 league matches, they have lost just once, picking up 3 draws and 2 wins.
Wolves, at one point in the season, looked like they might be in for a relegation battle, but Gary O'Neil has got them playing some quality football at the moment. When it comes to the form table, Wolves are sitting in fifth spot, having picked up 13 points from the last 18 on offer. They are now 12 points above the Relegation Zone, and no longer need to look over their shoulders.
This is a tough game to call, but my head tells me that there will be nothing to separate the two teams. Thus, I am predicting a draw for this Monday night clash. When it comes to the score, I would be tempted to put my money on it finishing 2-2.
My Prediction: 🏆 Brighton 2 Wolves 2 ⚽
💯 Brighton vs Wolves Match Odds
Football is the most popular sport in the world when it comes to playing, watching, and betting, so it should not come as a huge surprise when you see established and new UK betting sites putting a lot of effort into their football betting platforms. They will ensure that they offer competitive odds and a variety of markets to their punters.
When it comes to popularity, the three markets that many football bettors enjoy are match winner, over/under 2.5 goals, and both teams to score. Thus, below you can find three tables with the odds for these markets from some quality British bookies. If you want to see what free bets they are offering, click on the logo, and you will be taken to our in-depth reviews.
Brighton vs Wolves: Match Winner Odds
When you check out the odds that the bookies are offering for the match winner, you will see that Brighton are the big favourites to claim the points. This will be down to Brighton's home form, which has seen them remain undefeated in their previous 9 home games. Additionally, Wolves have only won 5 of their previous 33 matches away from the Molineux Stadium.
| Team |  |  |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brighton | 1.58 | 1.58 | 1.65 | 1.60 | 1.64 |
| Draw | 4.10 | 4.10 | 4.20 | 4.25 | 4.40 |
| Wolves | 4.75 | 4.75 | 4.75 | 5.20 | 5.40 |
Brighton vs Wolves: Both Teams To Score Odds
Brighton are one the highest-scoring teams in the EPL, while Wolves are averaging just under 2 goals from their previous six matches. Also, Brighton are not a team that likes to defend, while Wolves currently have a negative goal difference. So, with all of this in mind, it is not that surprising that the top British betting sites are backing both teams to find the net. You can find the odds that are being offered for this market below:
| Yes/No | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yes | 1.58 | 1.58 | 1.62 | 1.62 | 1.67 |
| No | 2.19 | 2.19 | 2.15 | 2.05 | 2.10 |
Brighton vs Wolves: Over/Under 2.5 Goals Odds
The top bookies that I have picked out believe that goals will not be in short supply in this match, and I hope that they are right as there is nothing worse than a boring EPL match on a Monday evening. With the way that both teams have been performing in front of goal as of late, I would be really surprised if we had to sit through a bore fest. Both teams should go all out for the win as a draw is not of much use to either. Below are the odds for the over/under 2.5 goals market.
| Yes/No | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Over 2.5 | 1.57 | 1.57 | 1.62 | 1.57 | 1.64 |
| Under 2.5 | 2.21 | 2.21 | 2.25 | 2.20 | 2.25 |
✔️ Brighton vs Wolves - Betting Tips
Now that you know the odds that some of the best British bookmakers are offering for three very popular markets, I am now going to give some football betting tips for this Brighton vs Wolves game.
- Tip 1: Bet on a draw: Both of these teams are in fine form at the moment, so this should be an entertaining EPL clash. I do not expect either team to give a quarter, but I also see there being nothing to separate the teams at the end of the 90 minutes. They have met 19 times in the EPL, and they have had 8 draws, and I am backing this one to be the 9th. BetUK Sports are currently offering odds of 4.40 for a stalemate.
- Tip 2: Bet on both teams to score: Brighton's previous 13 home matches have seen both teams find the back of the net. In fact, Brighton have scored at least one goal in their previous 18 home matches. Furthermore, Wolves have scored in all but one of their last six matches in the league. There are goals to be had in this game, and I am backing both teams to score. At the time of writing, BetUK are offering odds of 1.67.
- Tip 3: Bet on over 2.5 goals: Brighton have conceded at least one goal in their previous 13 EPL home matches, while there have been more than 2.5 goals scored in the last six away games that Wolves have played in. I think there should be at least three goals in this game, and 10Bet are offering odds of 1.62.
- Tip 4: Bet on a 2-2 scoreline: I can see both teams scoring a couple of goals in this match but not being able to find the one that clinches all three points for them. If you want to back a 2-2 scoreline, then Betiton Sport are currently offering odds of 12.50 for this outcome.
1️⃣ Brighton Update
Brighton had a fantastic season last year, finishing in a Europa League spot, and they are punching above their weight once again this time around. They are a very entertaining side to watch and are a credit to the league as they always try to provide entertainment, even if increases their chances of losing. Their recent 4-2 win over Tottenham is a testament to this. While they might just miss out on a Europa League spot come May, a Europa Conference League spot should be within their grasp.

2️⃣Wolves Update
O'Neil has done a fantastic job with Wolves, steering them away from the Relegation Zone and giving them an outside shot at qualifying for a European competition come May. This would constitute a great season for their fans as they must be getting fed up with Aston Villa being the pride of the Midlands. They are currently 5th in the EPL form table, having lost just once in the last 6 matches that they have played.
