Brighton are unbeaten in six league meetings with Wolves, winning each of their last three league visits to Molineux, albeit their most-recent outing in the Black Country was a 1-0 FA Cup defeat 15 months ago.
Can Brighton & Hove Albion reignite their European push? Last Sunday, the Seagulls were held to a 1-1 draw by Newcastle in Sussex, taking the lead through Yankuba Minteh, only to concede a late spot-kick.
A week earlier, Fabian Hürzeler's team had pulled off a remarkable comeback against West Ham, scoring in the 89th and then 93rd minutes, so they do remain in the hunt for European qualification.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Brighton & Hove Albion preview
The Albion kick off tenth, just one point below Bournemouth, who currently occupy that all important eighth position. After this, Brighton's remaining fixtures are an on the beach Liverpool at home and then a trip to Tottenham, who'll either be celebrating or commiserating after the Europa League Final. Thus, the Seagulls' fixtures could be favourable, but they'll still be desperate for three points here.
As for Wolverhampton Wanderers, they were beaten 1-0 by Manchester City last Friday night, squandering countless gilt-edged opportunities before and after the only goal of the night.
Before this, though, Vítor Pereira's team had won six successive fixtures, the first time Wolves have achieved this in the top-flight since 1970, so they're now 13th, having been in the bottom three as recently as 1 February. Thus, this clash at Molineux is very tough to call.
