Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Brighton & Hove Albion in Premier League Match 9
When Brighton hosts the Premier League’s worst club, will their home games against teams in the bottom half continue to be difficult?
Brighton & Hove Albion welcomes Wolverhampton Wanderers, who have only gained one point from their first eight games, looking to make it three straight after stunning back-to-back victories over Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle before the October international break.
Brighton, who are presently in fifth place in the Premier League, has enjoyed a strong start to the season. However, they will be hoping to avoid reverting to their previous mistakes and losing to a failing team.
Brighton’s only defeat this season came against Chelsea, 4–2, in a wild match at Stamford Bridge.
Other than that, Fabian Hürzeler’s team has put up a number of high-profile games. up the first day, they destroyed Goodison Park, defeated Manchester United at The Amex, and upset the odds to get a remarkable point at Arsenal.
However, after being held to disappointing home draws by both Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town, things may have been much sweeter for the Sussex team if they had built on these results in their home games.
The Seagulls have lost points at home to Fulham, Sheffield United, Burnley, Everton, and Wolves last season, which has been a recurring theme for Brighton in recent years.
Brighton could have made another strong run for the top seven if they had converted a few of these home draws against bottom-half opponents into victories. In the end, Brighton finished the previous season 15 points outside of a European place.
After the Seagulls defeated Wolves 3-2 in the Carabao Cup Second Round back in September, Hürzeler’s team will host Wolves for the second time in six weeks.
