This weekend, Wolves are determined to break free from their recent struggles as they face off against Brighton in the Premier League.
Despite coming close to securing a point against Manchester City last match, Wolves suffered a heartbreaking defeat due to a late winner from John Stones.
Coach Gary O’Neil’s game plan was executed perfectly and he is likely to stick to the same formation for the upcoming match against Brighton.
Brighton has proven to be a formidable opponent for Wolves in recent times, with victories in five out of the last seven meetings across all competitions, including a Carabao Cup exit.
Despite the optimism among fans following the City performance, pundit Paul Merson predicts a victory for Brighton with a scoreline of 3-1.
However, Merson acknowledges that Wolves are better than their current 20th position in the table suggests.
To tackle Brighton’s style of play, Wolves may employ a similar defensive strategy as they did against Manchester City, looking to absorb pressure and counter-attack effectively.
The key decision for O’Neil will be the choice of goalkeeper, with Sa receiving backing from some after his standout performance against City.
With Johnstone returning to training, the goalkeeping dilemma adds an intriguing layer to Wolves’ preparations for the crucial match against Brighton.
